| - An OASIS in mall-land! I have no trouble walking past the current crop of chain food factories... only one has the decency to call itself a factory... as in the old spaghetti.
Here, on the outskirts of the dystopian food court of the Chandler Fashion Center, a small oasis of small-business pride and care, Gyro King! Here you can enjoy fresh greek salad, generously adorned. After walking a mile at 100 degrees from my middle nowhere ramada to get here (you want to know what's PRISTINE? -- sidewalks in Phoenix suburbs!), I may have been a little waxing-poetic about the salad, but hey, it's not FRENCH FRIES!
Tried the King's Gyro Combo - generous gyro with side salad and a drink for $6.95. Tasty. Umm. Couldn't resist sampling the hummus, I am an addict. As PeeWee Herman would say, haha! c-rrr-eamy!
The verdict, here in the court, is A-OK. Not going to dethrone my favorite mideast hideway in San Luis Obispo, Jaffa Cafe, but so welcome and somehow appropriate here in the sonoran desert. One could quibble and niggle, but seriously, if you are in these parts and want something passing healthful, fresh and tasty, Gyro King it is. Support independent, small business! Just say no to Food Factories.
