Carvie’s Chopped Cheese Deli is a first of its kind in Tampa. Located at 3318 Henderson Blvd, this shop is growing a huge following for the sandwiches crafted by Chef Sean Champé. For those curious, the chopped cheese is a sandwich made on a grill with ground beef (typically pre-formed ground beef patties), onions, adobo or other seasonings, and cheese, all of which are chopped together on the grill as the meat and onions cook and the cheese melts.
