We Greeks are generally a fairly proud people. Granted we've basically been resting on our laurels for the last couple thousand years, but even still, we must be given credit for a few more modern gifts to the world. I'm not talking about Korres beauty care products or even the lovely Maria Menounos. No, what I speak of is the magical Gyro. Yes, the staple food of Greeks all over the world. The tasty delight that can bring warring nations together. The gravity defying meat cone that serves as a beacon to the hungry. The Gyro. A symbol of freedom, carnivorous creativity....and delicious goodness.
Well, to honor our national treasure, Chicago - widely considered the unofficial gyro capitol of the world - has bestowed on our tantilizing treat the honor of a visual homage for all of the world to enjoy. A team of artists captured snapshots of all of Chicago's many gyro restaurant signs and created an historic montage to be treasured by Greeks all over the globe. "A photographic tour de force.." says Petros Papaiannis president of the Greek Barber's Guild. "2 thumbs WAY up!" say Nikos and Yiorgos of Nikos and Yiorgos - Let's Make Movietime! .
