Devanco Gyro Sandwich Kit Review
Devanco Gyro Sandwich Kit Review As ubiquitous in Chicago as hot dogs or pizza, the gyro (however you choose to pronounce it, ”yero’, ‘jy-ro’, ‘geer-o’) is a sandwich of Greek origin consisting of vertically spit-roasted meat, cucumber sauce, onion, and tomato on a split or folded pita. The name comes from the Greek word which […]

Gyradiko Restaurant Review – Carpentersville, IL
Gyradiko Restaurant Review – Carpentersville, IL I will always support “mom and pop” local businesses over chains, and am happy when they thrive. Gyradiko has been open awhile in a strip mall in Carpentersville, IL (NW suburb of Chicago). Gyradiko’s subheading is “Greek Street Food” and not only do they offer that, they also serve […]

Canteen in the Alley Review – Ottumwa, Iowa
Canteen in the Alley Review Since 1927. Can hardly beat that for a recommendation, can you? The Canteen in the Alley serves “loose meat” sandwiches, known elsewhere in Iowa as “Maid Rites.” What’s a “loose meat” sandwich? Crumbled ground beef cooked on a steam table with diced onions and 17 herbs and spices. (Well, some, […]

Iras Bagels Review – Lake in the Hills, IL

I think the first one I ever had was at a small deli across the street from my apartment in Minneapolis. I […]

Gloriosos Italian Market Review – Milwaukee, WI
Seventy-year-old Glorioso’s in Milwaukee is one of several fine Italian deli/groceries the city has to offer. If it’s even remotely Italian, Glorioso’s has it on the shelf, in the counter or in the cooler. It’s a wonderland for foodies and cooks alike. Naturally, I stocked up. Sausages. Cheese.

New Orleans Seafood and Hamburger Co Review – Multiple Locations New Orleans, LA
I’ve been coming to this place for almost 20 years. It used to be for the hamburgers, and it was the hamburger because the location I used to frequent had a very large “fixin’s bar,” which was quite nice. That feature seems to have vanished. Now I come for the thin sliced fried catfish, cause […]

Fiorellas Cafe Review – New Orleans, LA
Once upon a time there was a good and decent family that owned and operated a local favorite restaurant near the French Market for many, many years, until finally the time came for them to take it easy and they sold the establishment. But like many people who create something with passion for a living, […]
