| - I was in the mood for a sandwich and saw that Forbes Gyros was one of the restaurants on Grub Hub that delivered. So I ordered the 2-8" hoagie special (ten bucks) and an order of fries.
This is a two meal deal, and two hardy meals at that. I ordered chicken parm sandwiches (I don't know if you can order 2 kinds of hoagies for the special, Grub Hub would not allow me to do that) and they were fantastic. Each hoagie was individually wrapped in foil, so the second one went straight into the fridge, along with half the fries.
The bread was super fresh (it may have been Mancini's but not positive) and was brushed with oil and then very lightly toasted. No chicken patties made of pressed chicken on these sandwiches. It was all white meat, big chucks of it breaded and deep fried, and a very generous amount of these chunks were spread on one side of the bread. The chicken was slathered with a very good marinara sauce, then topped with slices of provolone, then put under a broiler.
I liked my bread a tiny bit crisper/crunchier, so I opened up the sandwich, put a drizzle of olive oil on the "just bread" side, and popped in the broiler for a few minutes. Perfect!
French fries were delivered in a large, square styrofoam go containers (like what you would get a large sandwich and fries in). Fries do not travel well, once you close the container, all the steam is trapped in the box, making the fries limp. But I again did a light drizzle of olive oil and broiled them in the toaster oven and they were fine. They were frozen fries, not fresh, but for $3.50 for an enormous portion, you can't really complain.
I'm not a gyro fan, but I do like falafel and hummus so the next time I will probably go that route. But if you like a good chicken parm sandwich, you'd be hard pressed to find something better.
