The Mad Greek Makes Millions Serving Gyros in the Desert - Eater LA

"Against all odds, 28-year-old road trip icon the Mad Greek rakes in $4 million a year. Yes, that’s big money for any restaurant in this day and age — but it’s especially impressive for an aging diner with sky-high operating costs that trades in a style of food that’s languished for years elsewhere in greater Southern California. Not to mention it’s positioned in the midst of a nearly inhabitable climate: in the high desert between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Despite incredible odds, owner Larry Dabour keeps his family business’s status as a juggernaut in itinerant dining alive." - Farley Elliott
