Sitting at a place called the Coliseum. . . Hmmmmmmm what to order? Â The coliseum is in Rome, Italy. Â This is near Greece? Â Well closer to Greece that it is the the US. Â The guy sitting at the end of the bar sounds like he might be from Greece. Â Perhaps something Greek? Â Gyros!
The gyros were indeed excellent. Â Gyros (pronounced yee-ros) are considered a street or fair food in Greece. Â The version here was done perfectly - crunchy bits where where they were browned - tender and that wonderful seasoning - cool crunchy raw onions. Â The tzatziki sauce was yogurt based and very well executed. Â Seasoned fries were an absolutely perfect accompaniment. Â I wish I wasn't there for lunch as a beer would have been the perfect thing to wash it down with.
I've had gyros all over - Madison, Chicago, Frankfort, Munich, Vienna, Paris and Rome. Â Eau Claire, WI has some of the best at the Olympic Flame. Â This one was right up there with the best.
Go here. Â Do not hesitate. Â Get the Gyros.
