| - I love gyros, so I was intrigued to try the "best gyro in the country". I came for a "brunch" gyro to avoid the line. Now to me, gyros are street food, and a gyro should not cost $7, but once I saw the amount of meat on the thing I understood the price. It's about the size and weight of a Chipotle burrito, only with mostly meat and very little filler.
However, after seeing boxes of mass produced frozen gyro meat (Olympia, the same brand you find in many pizzerias, recognizable by the cheesy posters of smiling women with gyros), I am left wondering what is so special about this sandwich that makes it the "best gyro in the country". Sure, the sauce is excellent - slightly spicy and tart, and different than the generic tzatziki on most gyros - but the pita is straight out of a bag and the gyro meat is straight out of a box.
I just don't understand the hype over this place. It's a good gyro, sure, but definitely not worth an hour wait in line. The only thing exceptional about this gyro is its size.
