Taziki’s – A fresh take on salads

I've told you about gyros in town and you probably associate the word
taziki with them.  You might change your word association after you chew on
this.

Taziki's up on top of Cantrell is definitely a Gyro haven but they've got
some secret sauce… SALADS. Now look, I'm not some hippie, but a dudes
gotta get his groove on from time to time, and that means crushing lettuce.
As bikini season approaches I am aware ive got work to do.

Enough justification. Don't start judging me.

Shewolf and I headed to Taziki's for some TLC. Salads were ordered. The
small patio out front was just right. You'll find 4 tables with string
lights around he edge. Yeah, it's in a parking lot but the cool spring air
was needed.

Clank ordered the Tilapia salad. She was hanging her fist again the table
it was so good. Then she started doing the jitterbug. Crazy, I understand,
but it's true.

I went for the Gyro salad. Holy smokes. Think fresh ingredients with
generous portions of man meat, lamb.

Final thoughts:
Look here fat ass, go to Taziki's. You won't be sorry.

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink,
and we can probably make it happen.

You're opinion is probably wrong but leave a comment anyway.

Pitaful – Layla’s Chicken Pita

Pitaful. You guessed it. This genius Brhodes Scholar invented another word. I didn’t wake up today and say “I can’t wait to hate on a local restaurant.” It just happened. It’s Thanksgiving Eve and every food place in town is packed. I was craving gyro so I headed to Layla’s on Rodney Parham. It’s tucked behind Starfucks in a Mexican shopping center. Layla’s is usually my jam. They’ve hired a few cuties to serve food and the service was spot on. I got the last 4 top table to myself. That’s where the good ends.

I ordered a Mediterranean salad to start. I didn’t take a pic. You know why? Because its made with subway sandwich lettuce, cilantro or some shit and a dash of oil. Bland city. Then I got a chicken shwarma pita – spicy. Ok, the bland continued right from the salad to the pita. The description does this sandwich no justice. Wait, the sandwich does the description no justice. No flavor. Soggy pita. No spice. Here’s a big idea. Walk down a few shops to that Mexican Tienda and get some Jalapeños. Then dice the fuckers and cook em with some onions and bell peppers. Y’all got skillets right there in the kitchen, I’ve seen them. Hell, go get Sriracha and do us all a favor. Put that winning combo on the shwarma pita. Look, I generally like this place. The traditional gyro is fire and the yogurt plate will fill your stomach. Go here. Just think twice about ordering this Pitaful creation.

Gyro – Ali Baba – S. University

Authentic middle eastern grub. Located on South University, Ali Baba is exactly what you’d expect from an ethnic supermarket. Reasonable prices, worldly spices and great food.

Put some hummus on that gyro and enjoy. English is not spoken here and I’m okay with that.
