Oh yeah.. Gyro II, on 7th Ave, across from Penn Station is often touted to be "the best".. but I'm not so much of a fan.. they throw down a mean gyro.. but the meat is often sitting in a pan.. and not fresh cut.. and their sauce isn't as "traditional".. it's very sweet and watery.. like they dumped a bag of sugar in it.. and then they put red spice on top.. not sure what it is.. but I don't like it. It's more of a Turkish or Mediterranean presentation. http://midtownlunch.com/2008/05/12/is-g ... -to-offer/ Troy on 45th and 9th (by the porn store) is AWESOME. The meat is actually the "real" kind.. there's sometimes bits of fat still left on the lamb They actually use a "pita pocket" rather than the traditional Greek "flat-bread" pita. (I guess cuz it's a Turkish Restaurant). Their standard presentation is "white sauce and hot sauce".. but I opted out of the hot sauce. I kind of forgot about that place after I walked into the bathroom and wished I didn't :obscene-tolietpush: ... but it's a good gyro!

It's kind of like a meatloaf, but not really.. here is a gyro cooker: This seems to be the "traditional" way with just slabs of meat on it: But most places look like this, its a cylinder made of ground beef and lamb.. then pressed into a cylinder shape: I've also seen chicken gyro in this cylinder shape (at Bill's Gyro in AC).. although most places just use grilled chicken breast. Bills Gyro in AC is probably the best "fast" gyro I've ever eaten, but the rating could be due to the crappy decor and having to work off a hangover with one of his gyros. Ted's is the second best in the "fast food" category. Pithari Taverna in Highland Park is #1 for sitdown gyro. It's Greek to Me! is #2 for sit down gyro.. although that category is somewhat flawed.. it's a full service restaurant.. but you can be in and out in 45 minutes easily.. Pithari, it takes an hour or two :-P Most times, I actually prefer "It's Greek to Me!".. I even asked for gift cards to there for XMAS

Quite possibly the best sandwich ever created! Never had one, what is on it? Gyro meat (usually a combo of beef and lamb which has been cooked slowly on a vertical rotating "rotisserie" of sorts).. then Tzatziki sauce (greek yogurt based sauce, with finely shredded cucumbers, some onions, spices, etc.. (recipies vary slightly)).. then onions and tomatoes... most places also put lettuce... all wrapped up in a warm greek style pita..

Quite possibly the best sandwich ever created!

Yeah.. I can tell the difference in person.. but in your picture it is kinda hard to see.. if I had to bet $5 on it, from that picture.. it does look like the real thing.. but now your saying probably not.. :?: geeze.. I gotta get a life and start spending money on something useful.. I'm analyzing gyro meat texture on the internet By far.. the best frozen griddle meat gyro I've ever had was from King's Pizza in somerset. It's a crappy little pizza mom and pop pizza place, but the guy who makes the gyros in the back is Latino.. he actually rolls them really tight like a burrito. :twisted: A big fat delicious gyro burrito

Did that come off a rotating gyro cooker? or is it grilled (meat all perfectly shaped?)..

That's what the NYT is making it seem like.. that he was killed for not having a license. Not for scamming tourists.. or running from the cops.. or having an illegal stolen gun.. or... pulling out the illegal stolen gun and trying to shoot it at a cop... nope.. just cuz he didn't have a license.

Went to the Middletown diner tonight for the first time in like 20 years that I've lived relativley close by :? :shock: It was actually a very nice surprise. The burger was a good size, juicy, and just about perfectly cooked. Take that Bobby Flay! Drive your failboat away!

It's alright, but it just didn't do it for me. Some of their dogs are not my taste.. the grilled dogs of theirs are better imo. The chili is bean based if I remember correctly, I like a meat chili better. A bit on the expensive side..and the no free refills on their soda is just a slap in the face to the customer. The New England Hotdog stand in AC is worse.

Just DO NOT GRAB THE GUMMI BEAR. HAHAHAHA! :clap:

I'm pretty sure the lib's even invaded them. I thought they just recently changed the laws for the worse?

Get back at them by giving them EXACTLY what they ask for. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The guy with no legs who repeats the same thing in the same exact tone for weeks at a time is the one I hate. Somewhere around 7th and 36th.. right in front of the subway.. one day I really wanted to get a $5 footlong and tell him to shut up.. but I'm sure that woulda just pissed me off when we got into a fight.. I'm pretty sure the cops pushed him back a few blocks from the entrance to Penn station where he used to be stationed. anyways.. the douche nozzle liberal media is now calling this guy "a street vendor" and making it seem like the big bad policeman killed him for nothing.. and he was just "selling cd's"

Lol, you must have a friend who issues pistol permits

Edited the first post to remove the word "slain". Sorry.

I hate that ****. They tried it with me once. I just walked away. They started yelling and screaming. I said "call the cops" and kept walking. Good this D-bag is off the streets. errr....huh? How does that scam work? so they write your name on a CD....is there something bad on the CD and they are trying to blackmail you? And who would give their name to some guy who walks up to you in Times Square? Its the same as those guys at the fair that try to make you play their games...just keep walking and ignore them. Exactly.. its a scam. It's just BS "help the artist" "homemade" rap music junk. Anyone from NYC and probably most of North Eastern Jersey would just walk away. I can see lots of "normal Americans" like the mom from Georgia on vacation.. who gets scammed into this. 1. Guy approaches.. somewhat friendly.. asks the tourist their name. 2. Tourist says "Sally" 3. Guy spouts off unintelligible gibberish and writes the tourist's name on the CD (obviously burned.. who knows even if it has anything on it).. as if this will someday become a collectible. (This is done in only a second or two.. real fast.. combined with the gibberish and the lights and shit going on in times square.. the tourist doesn't know what's going on). 4. Tourist is alarmed that they now "own" this CD (which has been personalized for them). 5. D-bag requests money for the CD they just "bought" without knowing it. 6. Probably a good percentage pay for it ashamed they got conned into it. The shear number of people that funnel through times square every day.. you need only a few people a day (very small percentage) to make some decent money. Just like the "homeless" people around Penn Station who "need something to eat".. EVERY FREAKING DAY.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/art ... gD9CGL7HO0 I'm glad all of NYC's strict gun laws kept this one outside the border. OMGZ NO! a Machine Pistol! I thoughts those was illegals! I hate that shit. They tried it with me once. I just walked away. They started yelling and screaming. I said "call the cops" and kept walking. Good this D-bag is off the streets.

Assuming the break is welded on and you throw away the mags.. this is ok right? http://www.classicarms.us/

Seems like it could be possible if the stock is pinned and you play the evil features game.

It's probably 14.5 inch with 1.5 inch compensator affixed. I cant see Cabelas dealing with SBR's.

There's plenty of them at my job. They congregate in the cafeteria.

Went to Big D's World Famous Chili Dogs today. ^ Big D I got 2 Chilli Cheese with onions, fries, and a can of soda for $5+tax, a good value. All in all, its a pretty good dog. Sabrett Natural Casing, the chili has a bit of BBQ flavor to it. My own pictures: It's worth noting, but I'm still looking for an extreme hot dog place.. the likes of (now defunct) Amazing Hotdog, or Tido's before they sucked.

I didn't see the episode, but I read about it when he first did it. I can't believe he lost. He apparently forgot about the Clinton Station Diner's Burger Challenge.

IMO, this is a function of the portion of the 'armed' public that the LEO's in that area (NY/NJ) interact with. The data set is faulty. The officer only believes what he has experienced, that only the criminals are armed; therefore, all people with firearms are criminals. It's faulty logic, but his beliefs are justified in a sense. I don't associate "criminal" with "general public"... but I'm not a cop.

Went to Bobby's Burger Palace at Monmouth Mall a few days ago. It was pretty much fail. Our burgers were over cooked, the meat to bun size ratio was totally wrong, and they changed the fries since last time. The flavors were ok, but I probably wont be going back. If I can get a better burger at a diner than I can at Bobby Flay's Restaurant, Bobby is driving the fail boat. People off 105 must not like meat, or they just go there because it has Bobby Flay's name on it and it's by the mall. I had the Nappa Valley Burger (Goat Cheese, Watercress, Honey Mustard (omitted per request). My Girlfriend had the Dallas Burger (Spice Crusted / Coleslaw / Monterey Jack /BBQ Sauce / Pickles) Fries and Rings
