There had to be a tribute to these suckers some time. When you're absolutely hungry and you can't make up your mind--a gyro just sounds like the right way to go. Pronounce it GEE-RO or JAI-RO or HEE-RO, whatever...it's the sort of food that's eaten passionately, your lips and teeth working in tandem to keep the wrap's contents together.
The instant bite from raw onions, the crunch of cabbage, the tang of tomato, and the grilled promised land of meat--be it chicken, beef, tuna (okay, there's falafel, but that doesn't count)--your tongue treads upon; it's an all-encompassing meal literally rolled into one (at Cafe Med, you've even got the slimmer chance at health with a choice of whole wheat pita for an additional P 20). Pay less (P 100-120), eat right (the "Mediterranean" diet's probably better than insert-your-fad-diet-here diet), season to taste (the chili or garlic-mayo squeeze bottles are a plus), and fill yourself up. The gyro's a hero to me.
