    I've been eating their cheese steaks for 40+ years, and can't say I've had anything like them. They're packed full of meat, but still incredibly delicious. My dad used to say it was like they got the meat for free because there's so much in it. Haha! But seriously, they've got the best cheese steaks ever. And soups, too.

    Do you know what kind of steak is used? Also, they wouldn't happen to be Italian would they? We have our own excellent shop called H&M Grinders in Windsor Locks, CT. Expensive but packed full of whatever grinder that one orders.
    Maybe it's Mafia run? :rolleyes::eek:

    For your GIF, it appears you somehow set the animation to play only one time? You should have an option for continuous repeats in your editing software.

    But I could see it once, every time I refreshed the page. And it looks great, aside from the “play one time” issue.

    BTW, I have software on my phone to create GIFs. I saved your pics to try to make them into a set of continuously-repeating GIFs, but when I saved them, they only saved as still photos, so I had nothing to work with. (I obviously wasn’t doing something right. Hmmm.) :(

    PPS- I notice you have an imgflip.com watermark in your GIF images. I think that bit of text caused my phone to interpret the image as a document instead of an image, which is probably why they wouldn't save for me with the animation.

    I use ImgPlay, and don't have to put up with their watermark.

    Here- working on a desktop PC instead of my phone, I just tried out Ezgif (free, online, no download, pretty easy to use) and did this one. It's got obverse and reverse in the same pic. Of course since the imgflip.com watermark was in your original pics, that got retained.

    It would probably help if all of the images were the same exact size, too, right? When I cropped them all, I guess I was slightly off on my guess as to where to stop the crop. I'll try out the app you suggested though, and thanks! I like how yours doesn't just stop like mine does lol

    Definitely give them a try! They're regular-size cheese steaks are good, too. A large will feed 3-4 people typically. And they have good hoagies and soups. And regular sandwiches, but I'm a fan of the cheese steak the most if you couldn't tell!
