| - I tried Olympos Gyros out for lunch today. It's lent, and in Pittsburgh that means long lines for fish sandwiches, so I figured it'd be quick, and since I'm almost certainly going to burn in hell anyway...why not eat meat? It was quick, so at the very least I'm half right.
I ordered the "Zeus" off the "specialty" menu and got my gyro in about 5 minutes.
It was slightly too big to carry in the little brown paper bag they give you so I had to cradle it like a newborn on the way to the car. After I unwrapped it back in my office I thought maybe they'd forgotten the pita...because I couldn't see it.
The Zeus is Chris Farley's proverbial "Fat Guy in a Little Coat"...it was messy and there was so much stuff inside the pita that the pita itself couldn't be found. Once I did find it, I spent probably three minutes trying to figure out the best way to hold it without it turning into a complete nightmare. (There is no best way).
Tasted great. I loved it.
But okay, seriously...Greeks, it's okay to make a pita slightly larger so that you can accommodate more stuff. Pitas do NOT have to be one size fits all. Or wait...do they? Is that one of those weird ethnic rules that a REAL pita will only measure 1/2 cubit in diameter or something? I don't think that's a thing. Is that a thing?
Anyway...super good, fast, cheap, consider a fork, or barter for a bigger pita.
