NYC’s Favorite “Folk Sandwich”

from The Atlas Obscura Podcast · host SiriusXM Podcasts & Atlas Obscura

We journey into New York City’s delis and bodegas, in search of a famous – and controversial – sandwich: the chopped cheese. This sandwich has become a cultural symbol and source of debate, and is so storied that some might call it a “folk sandwich.” Plus, we dig into the rich history of the corner store culture where the chopped cheese originated.    This episode was produced in partnership with NYC Tourism.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
