Hey PETE
Did ya ever know about that Gyro Stand on Ashland?
Have you ever been by it?
I did a "Pete the Greek" google and found it -- right here in Chicago of all things.
Guess it just proves that Chi-Town has at least one of everything.
You should get a photo of you and da Z in front of it someday.
That would be KOOL.
=======================
A giant picture of pressed lamb on Pete the Greek's sign lets you know where the joint's specialty lies. The gyros here win the award for succulence, teeming with onions, tomatoes and cucumber sauce, the meat cooked to perfection. Pete also makes a mean cheeseburger, complete with home-cut fries. The hot dogs do a Chicagoan proud, with a perfectly steamed bun, all the trimmings and no ketchup to be found near the dog. Breakfast at this Greek-owned spot (like you didn't know that) includes the staples: sausage, eggs, breakfast sandwiches and omelets served fast with loads of hot coffee. None of these options exceed $10.
This newer brick-and-glass storefront, located next to a gas station, provides ample seating for folks who want to have a seat and savor their breakfast or lunch, with counter seating surrounding the main dining room?perfect for gazing out onto the street while eating.
===================
This place has the best gyro. We learned about it from working nearby and we come whenever we get the gyros craving. I don't care much for fast food or gyros, but this place makes it worth it. The owners have friendly service and are attentive to customers' needs.
===================
312-243-6199 >> I called there and they still go by the same name. However Pete sold to the present owner many years ago so no Pete anymore.
===================
BTW Paul congrats on getting the Z going again -- sorry about all the "Pete stuff" not trying to hijack your thread here. LOL -- Glad to see the symphony of the LT-5 is rumbling once again south of the I-80 line.
