Hometown Hero: The Legend of New York's Chopped Cheese (Trailer)

First We Feast's new documentary, "Hometown Hero: The Legend of New York's Chopped Cheese," explores the untold story behind one of NYC's most iconic foodstuffs. The bodega specialty can be found at delis throughout Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Harlem, but a recent wave of mainstream attention has raised questions about who the sandwich belongs to, and what it means to the city. "Hometown Hero" gives you a chance to hear directly from New Yorkers—such as cooking collective Ghetto Gastro, rapper Bodega Bamz, and humorist Jeffrey Almonte—who want to protect the sandwich from outsiders, re-mix it in professional kitchens, or simply remind you that there's more to this sandwich than meets the eye.
