Yesterday was very productive for me - up early, signed refinance papers on car, got gas, had car washed, made several calls, paid rent, phone bill, and sundry other chores I had pending; all before 11:00. Whew! I was tired.
Mock said I had been such a good "doobie" that I deserved a reward and suggested we try a new place for lunch. If you know me, I have a lot of opinions. With restaurants, I have #1 places and all others are 2nd best. This is very true with my Greek food. There is NO better place to eat than Tarpon Springs, Florida if you want to "go Greek." My personal favorite is Platkas on the "main drag." NO ONE MAKES BETTER GYROS (Yearos) They just nail it as far as I'm concerned. But, never let it be said I'm not willing to "try" another place.
Maria, one of my O'town Greek friends, suggested a new restaurant in St Cloud that I just "HAD" to visit. I am multicultural, so I try all the ethnic foods I can get my mouth on, and she knows this. Being Greek, I just knew she had found me a closer restaurant to visit. (Maybe, or maybe not)
It is a little hole-in-the-wall place, which is not necessarily a bad thing. They're just starting out and I can live with that. They only serve Pepsi products - Strike 1. We had to "walk up" to make our order - Strike 2. And, their Tzaszeki Sauce was too thin and lacked taste - Strike 3. Not enough meat - Strike 4, but salad parts were okay. I guess what I'm saying is - Go to Tarpon. Only place to get good Greek food, in my humble opinion. Plus, lots of atmosphere and desserts galore. Yum. Can't wait to go again.
