Gyros - C/D?

TOTAL fucking classic. My favorite place to eat gyros is at Cross Rhodes in Evanston (Chicago people should definitely check it out) - most gyros joints really can't compare.

Totally classic if done well. My favorite place (although my exposure is pretty limited) is Apollo on Brady St. in Milwaukee.

However, I've been making them at home lately WITH DELICIOUS RESULTS. A deli by my place sells gyro meat, so I just make some tzatziki sauce (and buy some pitas and feta) and we're ready to roll.

CAVEAT: I've had some bad ultragreasy gyros too, unfortunately while I was sober.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic even when not done particularly well! I don't have a place that's convenient to home or work anymore. I need to find one again...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Schwarma, Saslik and Doner, also known as. The bad stuff made from otherwise unsellable calf meat is atrocious, but you get some good Schwarma and Saslik. I prefer, proper Sis and Kofte kebabs though, better meat.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic Classic Classic. Esp. late at night when you're mezmerized by the flames licking the leg of processed lamb meat. I go to the Parthenon at least once a week to get them. Now the question is-fries in the snadwich, outside, or no fries at all?

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

LOVE them. generally prefer chicken to lamb, but that's just because i don't eat much lamb anymore. had an amazing chicken gyro yesterday -- fresh bread, fresh salad, loads of tzatziki.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

(no fries at all, jocelyn; they just don't go.)

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I like fries on the side! (but I like fries on the side with everything).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Even the Veggie Gyros that appear at the occasional Seattle Center fairs are excellent! (one of the few meat based dishes I sorta miss being a vegetarian)

― donut debonair (donut), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

TS: Gyros vs. Shawarma vs Doner. (Different bread and different stuff inside typically, right?)

I might have to go with shawarma, but you can't really get gyros in the SF Bay Area (just like I don't think you can get shawarma in Chicagoland and doner is everywhere in Germany)

BTW, are they pronounced gee-rows or ji-rows in your locale? I ordered a gee-row in Washington DC the weekend before last and the attendent asked if I wanted a ji-row instead.

― mikef-who-mostly-lurks (mfleming), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Repeat after me--YEEros. Not JYros. It is related etymologically to the word 'gyre,' my people back in the day having spun lamb meat on spits. Alexander was said to have had a taste for this dish he brought with him on his campaigns. But where was I? YEEros. We love to hear it said right.

― The Hellenic People of the World, Monday, 7 March 2005 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the correct pronunciation is pretty commonly known.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh wait, I didn't read the post before that. Also, I used to get gyros in several spots in the Bay Area.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Emeryville Public Market has a place right in the middle.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Spencer OTM about the fries.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

They're great with dessert.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i know it's "yee-rows," but sometimes i feel pretentious saying that so i order it the american way knowing the guy behind the counter most likely doesn't care.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I say yee-ro (sometimes with a little rolled 'r', sometimes not) every now and then, but I invariably get weird looks. I think geero (Geiro!) is most common around here. "Jy-row" (as in gyroscope) is the worst.

ha in the UK they'd be like "you want the post office, mate"

two nights ago at berkett i was complimented on my pronunciation of "lamajun". but he was also kind of teasing me at the same time, for even giving a shit.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

mmm bereket's lahmacuns are good.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

wow!

I remember a commercial (maybe Jack in the Box) where the correct pronunciation was spelled out very clearly (Jack also did this with "chipotle"), therefore I don't feel pretentious about it. Maybe this was only on the west coast (at least 10 years ago)?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

the east coast doesn't have jack in the box.

THANK YOU! I've been trying to remember that word for a month and a half! I was talking with my friend about "Armenian pizza" (how Armenian parents convince you to eat it as a small child :P) and neither of us could remember what it's actually called.

― Maria (Maria), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Motherfucking dud. Reconstituted meat...that's been there all day. Y'know, lamb
doesn't normally look like that...so you get some sauces to mask the bad meat. Fine. But in all, it's a mess of flesh-in-bland-bread, all drenched in sauces that make Ashlee Simpson look subtle. It's cheap, nasty, and not actually healthy. Just go to bed, and your alcoholic tummy will love you in the morning!

Classic! They're usually hard to find here, but a new sandwich shop opened in Tupelo recently and I dreamed up a bunch of errands just so I could go have a gyro. Slobberrific.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I prefer souvlakis - it seems the difference is the meat is big chunks of good lamb on the spit so you get juicy, crispy fatty meat, instead of that weird minced pasty sruff on a spit some places do.

With hummus and tatziki pls...mm hungry now.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:26 (twenty-one years ago)

100% on the money, i feel like someone who pronounces "karate" "Ka-Ra-Tey" if i say "yee-ro" even if it is correct, the americanized version sounds less ostentatious.

― djdee (djdee2005), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i only know a few americans who say "jy-ro", and it makes them sound dumb, due more to the fact that it's just a dumb-sounding word than me looking down on them for not knowing the "correct" pronunciation.

― ()ops (()()ps), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:43 (twenty-one years ago)

dude cross rhodes is so good! i've been eating there for 10 years.

i pronounce it "geer-öss"

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:46 (twenty-one years ago)

"here-ro" is good enough for me. amongst friends, it's fun to make it just one unintelligible, highly gutteral syllable. "grrrwogh"

― ()ops (()()ps), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:48 (twenty-one years ago)

"geer-öss"

This is actually closest to what i say.

Cross Rhodes is my best shit ever, i even bought one of their t-shirts.

"i pronounce it so authentically that your american ears cannot comprehend it"

― ()ops (()()ps), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:51 (twenty-one years ago)

honestly, this is the first time i've ever heard that it's NOT jy-ro (we don't eat them at home, unlike lahmajun, and they aren't sold where i live, so i've only encountered them a few times anyway). we can't help being dum americans sometimes.

― Maria (Maria), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

re: pronunciation of gyros
How DO you pronounce GYROS?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 08:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to work at And1es Restaurant in Chicago, and heard the history of the Gyro sandwich.
In the early 70s, Andie came into the restaurant and told his brother Nimrod to come with him "I am going to show you the future". They went down to 'New Town' (now known as 'Boys Town', I think) and ordered a couple of Gyros, which they'd never seen. I'm not sure if the sandwiches were a new invention at the time, or just unknown to them as fairly recent immigrants from Iraq.
So they got the sandwiches, and, impressed by their deliciousness, decided to hire the cook away from the place in New Town by offering him the then princely salary of $500 / week.
I'm not sure of the exact method, but the meat was prepared by pressing the ground lamb into big flat sheets and cutting it up after it was cooked. Andie and Nimrod watched him for a few weeks to see how it was done, fired him, and stole his recipe. Soon, they went into business with some other people manufacturing Gyro meat for other restaurants, but they sold their interest soon, as the labor-intensive recipe wasn't too profitable. The company is what is now Kronos Gyros, and their former partner is a bazillionaire, becuase, before long, he came up with the innovation - to which he holds the patent - of the rotisserie-style cooker that is so ubiquitous today.

But yeah, when push comes to shove, I'd rather have a shawerma.

i'm with ally. i detest when people conspicuously overpronounce things. having taken a year or two of a language is not a license to call up buckets of phlegm whenever you have the opportunity to speak a word from said language.

doner kebabs and doner sandwiches were all over france, the uk, and italy. the quality varied pretty widely. doner sandwiches are a cholesterol bomb: meat off the spit, fries, tzatiki sauce (or in france, mayonnaise, though i always held the mayonnaise). i guess the closest equivalent that's easily won in the states is the "gyros sandwich," but the meat isn't exactly the same.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

the girl i was dating had a habit of overpronouncing words in languages she (sort of) knew, and even calling a book or film by its original-language title even if an english translation was readily available. i chose not to let this bother me, but i never got around to finding it charming.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

btw does that habit (overpronounding words) say anything about somebody, or is it just one of those idiosyncrasies everyone has?

I fucking hate people who go around pronouncing Kraftwerk or like Fassbinder properly in like this "LOOK AT MY FANCINESS" type of way.

"craft - work" sounds awful though. most everyone i know says "krahft - verk" (you don't have to overdieterize it, but just being somewhere in the ballpark of correct shows some intelligence).

― lychee mello (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i think you should have to adjust your spectacles every time you say "kraftwerk" aloud.

― lychee mello (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

it's one thing to pronounce something correctly in some regular normal voice kind of not accented voice, it's a whole different aspect of life to do it the way me and Amateurist are talking about.

Also FWIW if these subjects are actually coming up regularly in your conversation, you are pretentious whether or not you pronounce it Fass-BIN-der or Fass-BIND-er so I'm not sure why we're even discussing this.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

well i did go to seattle to see kraftwerk last spring so the name was coming up a lot there for a while.

― Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

in france every other doner place is either "greek doner" or "turkish doner." but everyone working there seemed to be turkish, or lebanese perhaps. i never met anyone who seemed to be greek.

so is there a difference between a "greek doner" and a "turkish doner"?

The drummer in my band is totally guilty of the correct-pronunciation thing. He's always talking about his fondness for the singer "BYERK."

On the other hand, last night I had cause to use the word "frisson" in conversation, and as I was about to say it, I realized I had never said it out loud before and I had no choice but to say it all Frenchified, because I didn't know else to do it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone just told me this:

Actually, to be a little more precise, a gyros (note the singular. Just like there isn't one "kudo" there isn't one "gyro") is basically a Greek version of a doner/donner/döner kebab or schwarma/schewarma. The typical gyros (pronounced YEE-ros, as the Kronos posters plastered across Chicago inform) is made from lamb meat. There are also chicken versions of it, but this is a relatively recent development.

I've also heard them being made with dark turkey meat(in Greece, of all places), pork, and even veal. The main difference between a donner and a gyros is the sauce that comes with it. Donners may come with hummus and/or some hot sauce, while gyros are served with tzatziki (a cucumber-yogurt-mint (or -dill) concoction.

That said, a good felafel is just as good, if not better (this coming from an ardent meat-eater.)

Real talk.

Fuck the Turks and don't listen to the barbarians. Greek historians trace the origin of gyros to soldiers of Alexander the Great, who skewered their meat on long knives and cooked it repeatedly, turning it over on open fires.

four weeks pass...

i just made CHICKEN GYROS! this is my DIY potluck party recipe.

ingredients:

chicken marinade
2 lbs. thinly sliced chicken breasts
juice of one lemon
a generous amount of fresh dill, coarsely chopped (i think i used 3/4 cup)
about 10 mint leaves, coarsely chopped
a few tablespoons of dried oregano
2 cloves of garlic, minced
coarse salt (a lot of it)
black pepper (to taste)

spread cutlets out in a medium-to-large tray (i used an aluminum lasagne pan). score cutlets on both sides, making sure to puncture the fatty tissue. rub with marinade mixture until completely covered. seal tray with foil and refrigerate for at least two hours.

tzatziki sauce
24 oz. plain yogurt
2 large cucumbers (peeled, seeded, chopped)
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
6 mint leaves
handful of dill
pinch of sugar
pinch of salt

drain excess water from yogurt by placing it in a dry towel and storing in a bowl. refrigerate the bowl until you are almost ready to cook the chicken.

drain excess water from cucumbers (a paper towel will do).

when yogurt is drained, discard liquid and spoon yogurt into a blender (this may require a little elbow grease), along with the cucumber, salt, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, dill, and mint leaves. blend lightly. if there's still too much liquid in the mixture, drain a little more yogurt through a slotted serving spoon and blend again.

set aside.

remove chicken from tray and place on your GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL, two cutlets at a time. cook until you see even grill marks on both sides. you may need to turn cutlets over halfway through. since the cutlets are small and thin, the cooking time should be very short. when you slice the chicken later on, you'll be able to tell if they need any additional time.

when all the cutlets are cooked, slice 'em up and plate 'em. while the grill is still hot, throw on some flatbread (as many as you need). put tzatziki sauce in whatever kinda ramekin-ish cups you have around. stack grilled flatbread on plate. bring it all to the table and serve with a simple green salad.

So okay, if the menu doesn't explicitly say what kind of meat is used, should I assume it's lamb? FYI I only ever get them from halfway-dodgy take-out joints.
