Six step recipe for making gyros!

by Harry G. on Jun 03, 2010 in Greek Cooking

It’s not often that I come across an original Greek recipe for gyros. My dad used to work at a local Chicago meat-market that specialized in the mass production and distribution of gyro. He’s told me many horror-stories of how the meat was processed and converted into the compressed cones of meat one typically finds in an average fast food joint in the States.
As you all know, gyros is the national Greek food! The breakfast of champions…
This 6-step video comes much closer to the original thing. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.
