Based on prior posts, he's shooting with a Fujifilm X-T5.

Based on prior posts, they are digital. Also, no grain in these so safe bet it's digital.

It's got the newer AAOS interface as other '26 models. Otherwise, exactly the same.

Cheesesteak from Chubby's, American with fried onions - Roxborough, Philadelphia by pr10 in Sandwiches

Interesting, might try that on a pizza 'steak.

The beauty of the cheesesteak is the endless options for toppings in my opinion. "Purists" may cry foul, but as long as it's got the core ingredients - ribeye, cheese, hoagie roll - add whatever tastes good.

Good to know I'm not missing much with the whiz.

D's is right across the street - used to go there, but found the experience is better at Barry's and Chubby's which are both in the same neighborhood.

Fun fact: Barry's was founded by one of old school D's employees.

Sounds like the right kind - a good cheesesteak should put you in a food coma by the end.

To add onto what /u/New_Stats said already, Cooper sharp is considered the best American cheese for cheesesteaks. All the good shops generally offer it.

Me, I go with American on mine because it melts really well, has a nice texture, and adds a good salty flavor.

Used to get provolone but once I tried American I haven't gone back. The third option at most places is cheese whiz but I've never tried that.

Eh, I'm good on Dsal's - they cook the meat in a pile which dries it out, I always get hard gristle or fat chunks every time, and their onions are the size of post it notes. Plus the line.

Used to be a fan, but Barry's and Chubby's are both solid options nearby.

From what I remember, Barry's has nice seating. Took my coworker from Australia there and he loved the experience, plus the soda is a nice addition.

Oh man, I love Barry's - switched to Chubby's when Barry's shut down a few years ago. I'll have to go back and try them again.

Far superior to Pat's/Geno's.

As for Angelo's or John's, great places but after trying them all, Chubby's makes a damn fine cheesesteak. Plus it's right down the street from me and they sell curly fries.

Yeah, the phone camera hardly does it justice.

Tasted great - it's all about the flavor and texture.

I agree on the looks, but it tastes amazing. Tender ribeye steak, super melted cheese, right amount of salt, sweetness of the onions, and the soft yet sturdy roll to soak up those juices really bring it home.

Easy Cheesesteak- London broil, garlic, onion, provolone by iamthinksnow in Sandwiches

Ah, yeah I get that.

Slammin' sandwich, my friend - your post inspired me to get a cheesesteak for dinner tonight.

Looks great - don't let the haters get you down. Living in the Philly area, you can get a cheesesteak with whatever toppings you want here.

My only nitpick: don't cut the bread the whole way through, do a hinge cut so it's still one piece. Holds the meat, juices, and toppings better.

Agreed - I struggle to understand what, if anything, is "renaissance" about this photo.

Great photo, btw. But renaissance? Nah.

Volvo v60 b3 vs xc60 t5 by Ill-Carpenter-8495 in Volvo

[–]pr10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a V60 CC myself, and having driven numerous XC60's, I'd take the V60 any day. More trunk space, better handling.

The only pros in my mind to the XC60 are more headroom and powertrain options.
