Opa! Greek Yeeros is open

[teko.livejournal.com]

They just opened today in the former Kickass Cupcakes space. I stopped by this afternoon; they have a choice of chicken, pork, or beef/lamb gyros (or "yeeros" as they call them), salads, kebabs, hummus, soups, and spanakopita. They also make their own yogurt -- I got a cup of the stuff topped with Greek honey and fresh figs, and it was rich and very tasty. Their menu, hours, etc are here.

Someone disabuse me of my notions: I've always been creeped out by "Gyros" – knowing that that hunk of meat sits there all day going round-and-round. I guess it is kept warm enough (!?) so bacteria doesn't grow but it has always seemed like the rotisserie-mystery-meat-from-hell sort of thing.

But no doubt it is tasty because... why else, right?

But spanakopita is yummy

doner kebab by any name is freaking delicious. There's a bit of an art to making sure you aren't the first slice off the log and not the last, but generally speaking this is excellent street food as long as you can eat beef and lamb and not much care which is which.
