\"the_fat_greek_gyros\"<\/a>After the Monday night ride, Ckucke, Kevyn, and I went by The Fat Greek<\/em> at the bottom of St. Louis Drive for a bite to eat. Parking at this little strip mall is iffy at best, but oddly, a pair of tandem stalls were open, so Ckucke and I pulled in. Kevyn was dropping off his bike at home so came down a little later and also miraculously found parking! I ordered the gyros<\/em> for $8.40 USD including tax. They have little pager things so when you meal is prepared, they hit the magic button and your unit goes off \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a little better than yelling, since they have a small air-conditioned \u00e2\u20ac\u0153inside\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and a large \u00e2\u20ac\u0153outside\u00e2\u20ac\u009d patio. The prep time was longer than I would expect for the menu and venue. The food quality was very good. My entr\u00c3\u00a9e came with a moderately sized salad that included a cherry tomato, a Calamata olive, two cucumber slices, and crumbled feta cheese on a mix of romaine and baby greens (A-). The gyros pita (A) was well-filled with meat and was seasoned with that white yogurt-based sauce, and came with a tasty, spicy sauce on the side (sorry \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recall the sauce names now, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to look it up). As a means of comparison, it was a couple bucks more than something equivalent at Opa!<\/em> In Vancouver, but the quality was a little better, and there was a little more meat filling.<\/p>\n

Most entrees in the $8-12 USD range, bottled drinks in the $2-5 USD range (yikes!)<\/p>\n
