Note from Seth: This post is sponsored by Gridiron Metal Works. Derrick is a Purdue fan who sent me a video of him and his wife storming the field against MSU last weekend. Quick look at their next scheduled opponent and YUP we are all very good friends with Purdue right now (here’s some chopped up Hoosiers, good buddy)! He also makes officially licensed grilling and decor products, where “makes” in this sentence actually means “CUTS HIGH-QUALITY STEEL WITH PRECISION LASERS,” so you can do your alma mater proud for years to come. Check out his stuff at gridironmetal.com, and maybe accidentally drop that link where people who buy you holiday gifts are looking.

Wow…These last 2 weeks have been a roller coaster ride like no other. I don’t know about you, but after watching games all day, I tend to relax with a bourbon or 2 and watch cooking vids on YouTube. I go down some rabbit holes that take me days to get out of. One minute I’m watching a video on NYC style pizza and the next I’m watching how giraffes fight. (You’re Welcome BTW) About a month ago, I came across a video on something called a “Chopped Cheese” AKA… “A Chop Cheese” sandwich. This originated in NYC and is found in bodegas throughout the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens for the most part. It’s made on a griddle and is comprised of ground beef, onions, and melted American cheese and served on a hero roll, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and ketchup. As soon as I saw the first video, I knew this was going to make it on our tailgating rotation. It’s basically NYC’s version of a Philly cheesesteak. Let’s try this for the first time together. Honestly, I haven’t made this yet. Thanks again to Derrick and the great people at GRIDIRONMETAL for sponsoring these posts and also for providing a HUGE upset last week. Way to go Boilermakers.
