A $27 Gyro Buys a Ticket to Pork Mountain in Logan Square | Eater Chicago

"An upscale Greek restaurant in Logan Square from a Lettuce Entertain You veteran and his pastry-chef partner that serves a $27 gyro built like a mountain of slow-roasted pork—modeled on the hefty, non-processed gyros of Astoria rather than the Kronos cone. The meat is crisp and juicy and sits atop a fresh, yogurt-smeared pita with thick-cut fries that soak up the porky juices, but the sheer volume makes it impractical to eat by hand, forces diners to resort to knives and forks, and quickly deflates and soggifies the pillowy pita so remaining bites turn gluey; overall it’s satisfying in flavor but feels expensive, exhausting, and structurally compromised." - Naomi Waxman
