Either way, gyros
are tasty and popular Greek-American sandwiches that are fit for a hero!<br />
<br />
<b>But what exactly is a gyro?</b><br />
<br />
Gyros
are sandwiches made with thinly-sliced, seasoned lamb, beef or chicken,
and placed in a pita or flatbread. Traditional gyros are topped with onions and tomatoes. Tapa's gyros are made with grilled seasoned chicken or beef, or a combination, that is thinly sliced and served on
grilled pita bread with garden greens and tomatoes. Don't forget to add cheese if that's your thing! <br />
<br />
You can choose to top your gyro with tzatziki or madd Greek sauce at Tapas. <b>Tzatziki</b> is a white creamy sauce made with traditional yogurt, cucumbers and dill, while <b>Madd Greek sauce</b> is a delicious "kicked up" Greek ketchup.<br />
<br />
<b>So, where did the gyro come from?</b><br />
<br />
The word "gyro" comes from the Greek word for "<b>turn</b>." Also, a gyro is similar to Turkey's doner kebab, which was invented in the 19th century, but the gyro's actual origin is about as clear as tzatziki sauce.</div>
