I didn't travel far today, due to the rain - and ended up at a cart right next door to the one I visited yesterday.
This is one of the longer running carts downtown, from my memory, and has been in this spot for quite some time. I've considered it a 'standard' - a consistent, reliable cart with good food - and yet I rarely go there, because I'm often trying to find something 'new' to try.
Today, I went with the Lamb Platter, instead of a gyro. Basically, it's the same ingredients, a little more generous on the greens, plus some rice thrown in for good measure... over some tasty, warm pita bread wedges.
I think this is what I'll order when I want a gyro from now on - it's considerably less messy. The pita was easily liberated from the bottom, and picking up the pre-cut wedges of pita to then pick up the tender bits of lamb and tzatziki sauce turned out to be a much cleaner and efficient way of eating. (Often times, regardless of location, when I order a gyro... by the end of the meal, the sauce has broken through the packaging and started to leak on to my hands at an alarming pace)
This cart features lamb and chicken gyros, mezza plates, Falafel, Baba Ghannoug, etc.
It's good stuff, for sure - and considering the turnover of carts on this particular lot, the length of stay this cart has enjoyed is a testament to the quality of their food.
