Eat This. Scott Reitz January 25, AM. Every once in a while someone mistakes Scott for a food expert and risks ruining dinner by trusting him to answer to a burning question. Got a question about food or restaurants? Who's your go-to for this? There's an imaginary go-to I've fashioned from past memories. In this fantasy a tiny Greek lady, age , comes into a small cafe early each morning and pulls bins of meat from the walk-in. The plastic containers contain beef and lamb, pounded thin and marinated in lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, cilantro, tarragon, mint and garlic, and the old lady spends her morning impaling alternate slices until she's built a tower of meat.
You can read about this sandwich, the real gyro, here if you're interested. This is the gyro of my dreams. And sadly, I'm rather certain it does not exist in Dallas. It may not exist in all of Texas. It should.
If any restaurant in Dallas would make the above sandwich, food writers from all over the state would come to gush about it. They'd hands down have the best gyro Texas has ever seen. They'd have my business once a week.
I might even set up a blog devoted to nothing but their perfect sandwich. Consider this an open letter to the Greek restaurants of Dallas. Build this and I will come. The New York Times ran an article once about the history of the gyro in America.
They even put together a video short that shows the familiar meat cones being processed at Kronos in Chicago watch at your own risk. All the gyros I tried in Dallas are made from meat processed in this way. They all used store-bought bread. They all came with tzatziki. They all came with garnishes. I love it! It's a little nook that shouldn't be overlooked! So full of different flavors!

Some signage is in Greek. It still is at House of Gyros, which has a bottle of Windex framed in a case. Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
