Gyros?

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Greektown in Chicago has lots of really good gyros. Actually because of a pretty decent Greek community, you can find them even in the suburbs. Look for where the Greek Eastern Rite Churches are.

I'd love to, but danged if I'd ever step foot in Chicago, Kath. What a nightmare that place is... traffic from hell, toll ways, parking by permit only, good Lord.

I hear ya. But the food is worth it.

With all due respect, pard... not to me.

I like to cook though so, if I get a hankerin' for something different to eat, I find out how to cook it and do it myself.

Bachelors either learn how to cook or get real board with what they eat, and when you live out here in the sticks like myself where there isn't any restaurants around, it's all but a necessity.

Well I guess we disagree on places to visit. I love the city, though rarely have driven down there for 15 years, always take the train. About the same time I moved to AZ, my youngest moved to the city-so now he picks me up and drives me. Door-to-door, gotta love it. Once in his place, we walk or jump on the el. With the last move their apt is only about 10 min on el to Bean. The lake is about 3 miles east of his abode, not a bad walk. Lots of restaurants in the neighborhood, though I miss being able to walk to Smoque!

Then again, I think Madison is beautiful and would love to live there. That my politics would be outside the norm there would only make things more interesting.

It's going on 4 years of rather rural living, my inner suburban self is coming out. Looking to work in Phoenix suburbs.

Döners are the thing here. The best Döners are better than any Gyros. Have you tried to make a Döner Kebab?

I'm confused and lost just reading that...

I never did like big cities, and I've never been on a subway or an el. If I can't drive there, I'm never going to go there...

Yeah living out here in a tiny little town has it's draw backs, but to me, I'm sure what some would see as the downside, I see as the upside. The internet did make things better, seeing as I can order just about anything anyone else has and have it delivered. Fancy restaurants, no, we surely don't have any of those. That was one of the perks living in Reno and Vegas was the world class restaurants, and can't forget the buffets that seemingly go on forever. I do miss that.

I went to the grocery store yesterday and forgot to buy Pita bread, so I made an alternative Gyro without the bread. I heated up three kind of thick slices of my Gyro meat, plated them and then covered them with an ample layer of fresh Tzatsiki sauce, then piled on diced onions and tomatoes and wow, that was GOOD. I do the same thing with tacos. I crush up Doritoes and then cover them with taco meat, then pour on taco sauce, then a nice layer of shredded cheese, then the diced onions and tomatoes, instant tacos on a plate, that's good stuff.
