OCA's Avi

Y'all are high, and obviously have never had REAL Southern or Southwestern cooking. You yanks'll eat anything you can throw in a pot and boil.

I love southern cooking. Best grits I ever had was in a little place in the outer banks. But we were talkin' pizza and gyros

I do think that in terms of diversity of food available, northeast has it hands down.

[Mr. P]

Don't know if I ever told you this before, but my paternal family lives all around you -- Northeastern Alabama, Southern TN, and my grandparents, who were initially from New Market, AL, retired in Columbus.

My grandma could set a table.

Nope ya never did tell me that. Now I know someone else that knows the ole South way/s of fixin a great meal. The rest can claim whatever, but we know the truth.

[Pale Rider]

Well, I knew it was a real gyro. Everytime I see OCA's I get hungry. I've even been looking around town here for a place that makes one. I LUUUUUV gyro's.

Hey Pale in September I believe the Greek Orthodox church there in Reno has their festival, i'm sure you can find one there.

I live in SC now...and trust me...the food is MUCH better up north!

I lived in SC, and I lived in MD. I was married to a yankee from NY for 13 years.

Trust me ... you just ain't looking in the right places. Try a local church picnic where the older women cook the food instead of Hardee's.

Yeah, I used to love going down to the Columbus Farmer's Market with grandma so she could get dinner. Food didn't come pre-processed in her house unless she put it in the Mason jar herself.

Hardees...dont insult me!!

I'm born on the West Coast and you are right, it ain't right out there. If you like gyros only go to authentic Greek or Turkish joints, the rest are garbage. My only complaint about the east coast is there is a sub joint on every block and every damn menu is the same.

Will tell ya the best pizza I ever had was in Portland, OR. Place called Accardi's, of course the owners were transplanted East Coast guineas.

*Editors note* I was 2 when my parents came over from Greece, I guess by born I mean the first place we lived, don't know what the hell I was thinking when I wrote that lol.

I have hit mini nirvana. So I call this pizza place yesterday and this greek sounding guy answers, he is the owner I think, cause he has answered before and sounds older. I noticed his menu had a gyro and what you said rang a bell. So I order a gyro.

*dancin in the streets*

It is good. Of course not east quality, but the best I have had on the west coast. Just kills me that it came from the pizza joint and that because OCA said something about "authentic greek" that I bought one because this guy sounds greek.

LMFAO

Noted!

It's the dirty water in the dough that makes it so tasty....

BTW....I miss the west coast and the authentic taco stands in San Diego and LA....even in western Colorado....

Closest thing to it in FL is the cuban food...and it ain't even close!

[darin]

I STILL say it's a shit-taco. lol

[Gadget (fmr Marine)]

That's funny!

Yes! When it comes to Mexican and Central American food the west coast kicks ass!

Was he yelling at his employees nonstop? Oh boy the stories I could tell!

Tonight i'll start a thread on when I was right out of college I was dating an Ellinida(Greek chick) and her uncles had a restauraunt and I waited tables there. OH MAN it was beautiful!
