Charleston Edition: Phat Daddy’s

By Candace Nelson - 10:59 PM

Phat Daddy's on Da Tracks is not quite on the tracks of the West Side anymore after their recent move to 6th Avenue. The Charleston restaurant is known for its fried fish, chopped sandwiches and tons of tasty sides. Plus, they even have a full breakfast menu now. The space, clad in red and yellow, offers a lot of indoor seating, which is a great improvement over their previous space. I have previously had their chopped cheese, which I'm obsessed with. But I wanted to switch it up this time. First up were mac & cheese balls. I love mac & cheese, so I always want to like these. Usually, though, they end up being too dry or bland. These were some of the better ones I have had because they did retain that moisture. I tried the chicken chopped cheese. A chopped cheese is a popular sandwich from New York City—especially Harlem and the Bronx. It’s made by chopping up ground beef and onions on a griddle, melting American cheese over it, then stuffing the mixture into a hero roll or hoagie bun, usually with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Think of it as a cross between a cheeseburger and a Philly cheesesteak—savory, messy, and delicious. The chicken version was not as delicious as the original, but still a solid chicken sandwich.
