Jeremy Batista is the man behind Bodega Truck, the first bodega food truck in NYC to serve one of the city’s most famous sandwiches: the chopped cheese. With his girlfriend Angela and his former bodega owner mother Sonia, he brings the taste of The Bronx to all five boroughs, and hopefully, the world.

Onions and TONS of garlic and pepper was my go-to when I made these as a kid in southern MO. I'd also cook them longer til the meat started to darken and the cheese crisped. Minced beef, tons of cheddar, smeared onto a bun. Absolute perfection for an afterschool snack.
