Is anyone else obsessed with this style of food? I take my non-existent hat off to this phyllo-dough wrapped cheese filled ecstasy.

Are the phyllo things you described called burekas in Greek, or is that another language?

When I was in Greece they told me never to order gyros, always order souvlaki. Apparently you just are never certain of what's in the gyro meat... sort'a like hot dogs.

There's just something about putting that white creamy sauce on sizzling meat that makes my mouth water.

Back home, the local big Greek eatery offered the "Zeus Platter:" for $25.00 a tray of hummus, grape leaves, spanakopita, fried cheese, bakalava, calamari, olives, gyros and feta to feed an army. Bring your friends and enjoy!!

I am greek at heart. Loved living there, made wonderful friends, and if could live there again, I would in a heart beat.

I'm part Greek a few generations back, but really, I'm mostly familiar with the food because a lot of Greek cuisine falls under the general gestalt of "Israeli" cuisine, along with stuff from Poland, the Balkans, Turkey, and Lebanon.
And now I really, really want some baklava. Mmmm.

I don't care what's in the gyro--as long as it comes with yogurt sauce.
There's a Greek place by me that does a buffet on Sundays--it's basically the reason I was born.
