Grecian Delight Kronos, Masters of the Gyros Meat Cone, Plunges Into Al Pastor | Eater Chicago

"Founded in Chicago in 1974 by Peter Parthenis and merged with Kronos in 2020, the company expanded from bringing Halsted Street gyros nationwide to a broader 'inspired world cuisine' lineup and this year debuted ReadyCarved Pork Al Pastor Slices, a heat‑and‑serve version of the taqueria specialty that earned top honors at the 2024 National Restaurant Association Show and a FABI Favorites designation. The press materials tout ReadyCarved® Pork Al Pastor as "a culinary breakthrough in operator convenience and flavor authenticity," describing it as marinated and vacuum‑tumbled, hand‑stacked on a large industrial vertical spit, flame‑broiled rotisserie‑style, robotically carved off the cone, fully cooked, flame‑broiled to a partial cook, individually quick‑frozen, and designed to be reheated on a flattop, in an oven, or even a microwave—no special equipment needed." - Marnie Shure
