Gyros

[caudio51]

Anyone else a fan? I don't eat them often but love a good gyro when I can get one.

[Black Dog]

I love a good Gyro! There's a NoVA place called Knossos that has the best I've ever had. A Gyro with a side of fried zuchini w/ tsiziki (sp?) sauce is heaven on earth.

[derek]

I like them, however, they are hard to find around here. Normally I get them in NY or NJ when I'm out that way.

[caudio51]

Theres a few good places around me. I know of a great place in the village that makes them. I try to get there nice and drunk when I can

[Terrasco]

I love them. Unfortunately hard to find in West Texas.

[cvm4]

Love them and they're two places in Jackson! I'd eat there more often if my g/f liked them too. But I guess that's a good thing so I won't get tired of them.

[caudio51]

Plus eating that white sauce all the time isn't soo good. Who knows what is in there!

Are we still talking about Gyros? :nodlaugh:

[cvm4]

:rofl: Nice quote Derek!

Oh and I hate the way you smell when walking out of a Greek restaraunt.

[Poni]

Gryo King on Fordham Rd, right near Jerome Ave in da Bronx.

:tonguerol :tonguerol :tonguerol :drool: :drool: :drool:

Was a daily event when I worked at Fordham over the summers.
Big slab of meat rotating on the scewer, in the hot sun. So heathly

[N2Advnture]

Had one yesterday!

mmm....compressed meat, shaved off a rotating round stick...mmmm...

[sunivy]

Love 'em - only a couple of places around where I live to get them though. Used to go to the Parthenon Restaurant on Halsted in Chicago on a fairly regular basis when I lived up that way - sure miss that place.

[Jwrussell]

I've just found a little place who's gyros I absolutely love. I usually only like them for about 3/4 of the sandwhich then it just gets to be too much, if that makes any sense. But this place does something different. Either the meat is somehow "milder", the sauce ins't quite as potent or something. But whatever it is, it's a GREAT sandwhich.

*edit* Oh yeah, and you can hardly throw a stick in the Tampa Bay area without hitting a greak restaurant/restaurant run by Greeks. Go to Tarpon springs and that becomes almost literal.

it's been asked already, but....

are we STILL talking about gyros??? Never had one, but I ain't eating nuthin shaved off a rotating round stick!:rofl:

[Wasch_24]

One of the best sandwhiches ever invented IMO.

[smokem94]

I thought gyros was what a mexican calls his transmission?

[stogies&hoagies]

We probably sell about 45 a month at this location. Not really sure on the number chain wide.

We use a beef and lamb mix for the meat. We found it suits the southern taste preference a little better than the traditional lamb only.

I think I'll have one for lunch today. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[cvm4]

Are you talking about a national chain S&H? I saw a commercial for gyros and Arby's has started to make them.

[sunivy]

I saw that commercial - looks like they're just putting beef in a pita.

[MichiganM]

A good Gyro is ok....but if I ate them often I'd get sick of them real quick.

The aftertaste with these things seems to last forever.

[joshua]

So many diners are run by greeks in NJ its easy to find a good gyro! Yummmmm

[cvm4]

I saw that commercial - looks like they're just putting beef in a pita.

Yea I noticed that too :sleep:

We are more regional than national. Southeast US, most of our stores are in SC and NC.

Haven't seen the Arbys commercial.

[stogies&hoagies]

We used to have some on Long Island a few years back, Westbury for one, not anymore though.

This will tell you about our operation, me and two brothers.

[caudio51]

Yea, I guess it could. Oatmeal :barf: How long did your dentist say it would be before you could have a cigar?

[cvm4]

Oatmeal and scrambled eggs is good chit after the wisdom teeth pulling. Hell I eat it every morning anyway.

Yea, so do I. I think that will be the menu for the next few days.

[MithShrike]

Had one the other day. All the food is made by this Greek guy in the back and there are these two nice looking Mexican girls in the front.

[Greg]

There is a Greek festival here in Frederick, MD that runs today through Sunday.

MMM...MMMM.....Gyros, here I come.

Oooh... man you got me homesick. They have a Greek festival in my hometown at the Greek Orthodox church. Beautiful wimmenz and good food, what more can a person ask for?

[DocLogic77]

Wifey has put me on a diet and all this food talk is killing me. My belly is grumbling...mmmm....gyros.

[Greg]

Deja Vu.......There's a Greek Festival today (it's an annual event) that is 5 min walking distance from my place....GYRO TIME!!!!!!!!!!

[joshua]

How did this end up in the coffee section? Should go with food you would think.

One of my friends told me about a gyro place that slices the meat right off when you order it. I gotta find out where its at.

[Boppa-Wasch]

Tarpin Springs has the best I've ever tasted. Freshly sliced....

[Greg]

In about 30 minutes, I'm going to get me a Gyro.

[Wasch_24]

This is in the coffe forum? Weird.

The thread that won't die I see too. :rofl:

There is a pretty cool Greek restaurant near my SIL's house in KC...this reminds me we need to stop there sometime and get some Gyros! Yum!

[caudio51]

I wonder if I put this in the forum or if Eric moved threads into the coffee forum based on key words :dunno:

Anyway, Greg, now I'm f'in hungry for a gyro!

[dpricenator]

I don't care where the thread gets placed. After all this Gyro talk I'm going to get on for lunch. See you guys.

[Greg]

Anyway, Greg, now I'm f'in hungry for a gyro!The greed for a gyro can be very strong, stronger than a Big Mac Attack.

Just finished, and it was TASTY!

[jwintosh]

Anyway, Greg, now I'm f'in hungry for a gyro!

me too!! thanks greg!! going out for chinese food....

[cvm4]

Damn you for topping this thread :shame:

[GatorMike]

Pita Pit gyros aren't half bad. Especially w/ double meat.

[no_substitute]

omg, a thread about gyros - i love you guys

[blessednxs65]

I love them.

If you are ever in Stockton, CA, there is a Greek Family owned spot called Yasso Yanni's in downtown that makes the best Gyros I have ever tasted.

Haven't been to one of these since graduating from college (89). Was one in Greenville, NC that had a special on Weds or Thurs nights for $0.99 subs and pitchers. The pitchers started at 4 and the subs at 5. It was always the debate after drinking pitchers for an hour, should we buy another round of pitchers or actually buy a sub. Subs were good but the beer usually won.

[Greg]
