How To Make Gyros From Scratch

October 22, 2008 (Updated March 23, 2014) by Drew Kime

I feel dirty. I made gyros with fresh lamb tenderloins instead of processed mechanically separated and formed meat product. They're probably more like the traditional Greek version, instead of the Americanized fast-food version I'm used to. No, there's nothing wrong with that.

If you needed a license to call yourself a foodie, mine would be revoked … [Read more...]

Beef, Dinner Mexican, recipe card

I've finally nailed my fajita recipe. This has been my go-to dish at Mexican restaurants for years, like ordering spaghetti and meatballs at an Italian restaurant: If they can't get this right, they can't get anything right. Funny thing is, I could never get it right myself. Until now. … [Read more...]
