    The Gyros that they have is not a real Gyro that is a kebab. In Greece the meat is either pork or chicken and it’s not like minced meat but apart from that it looks good

    I am Greek and watching the video I have to say that his place looks exactly like a Greek Mini Market and the Olive oil is sold in a very low price all considering... only flaw is with the Gyro... It looks like arab falafel stuff, LA-people that will visit Athens will come back and complaint that it is not the real stuff.... probably he couldn't find a good exporter to collaborate on Gyro....

    When you read, Gyro, you have to say Hero. You are not allowed to say Jyro.
    Because they do not have 'G; in Greece, except the work Greek.
    This is what I call a 'Character'

    • @carlosandalucia4660
      @carlosandalucia4660 Před 2 lety

      and that gyro or hero by the way is just a frozen commercial crap, but it is the best seller !
      this means, he is so lucky to be serving to the most uneducated customers.
      In other places, people will give it to dogs only.

      You Old World Greeks do not understand that gyros were introduced to American palates by NYC restauranteurs and the Beef/Lamb mixture is what every non-Greek in NYC called Gyros
      Which they mispronounce no matter how often they are corrected
      From NYC the beef/lamb style spread from Greek Diners
      So most Americans do not understand Gyros in Greece are Pork
