Gyros revolution of Sydney
How gyros suddenly became cool and hip in Sydney
Back to tradition: pork and chicken now the most popular choices of meat.
Most of the gyros shops offer a wide variety of Greek food to keep their customers happy, everything from feta chips to souvlaki. Some have developed combo varieties which have been well received and at least one (Plateia) has introduced a delivery service.
As I sat in Earlwood, one of the Greek hotspots of Sydney, I was pleasantly surprised to listen to the stories of Andrew Mathews, Peter Bazos and Greg
Haimandos. They had been to every one of the new Greek gyros shops, in fact I had bumped in to them at EAT GRK at Beverly Hills the previous week on their odyssey. Whilst their waistlines had not expanded as mine has, they, like many Greek speakers in Sydney, have welcomed the growth of gyros shops. And with more to open on the horizon, including Newtown and Cronulla, all that I could say was, viva la yeeros/gyros revolution and hello Weightwatchers.
