Gimpy's Gyros

From the MySpace page:

"Portable unit has been obtained. So now if it doesn't work out we will be selling a unit. know any one interested? Regular Gyro. Veggie Gyro. Combo Gyro. Good Sausages. Rotating Specials. Good possibility San Francisco St. will make fresh pitas for us. Gyros come with cucumber, tomato, onion, yogurt sauce, and fresh mint and parsley. Veggie gyros come with falafel, grilled mushroom and tahini. All beef product right now but we are going to try to find something local and lamby. We have yet to look into what sausage we would like to sell. Rotating special will include other street friendly food. (Maybe tacos, tamales, Pupusas, Hum bao, this is where your suggestion helps.) We won't sell it unless it's delicious so we will have to do some good research on specials. Everything is still going to plan. Pit and Eugenio have been encouraging. We are going to Spokane and Portland to look at equipment this weekend. Please offer suggestions and advice and link this page to other locals for us. Thanks."

Please don't let Doug Mah kill this one...

This is SO good. I can't keep going to the reef for late night fried food.

 

Please say this is going to happen soon...

This sounds...

...like a positive development.


When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. -C.P. Snow

Late Night?

It all sounds great, and it's pretty likely that I'll be a customer.  Will you be there for weekday lunchtime?  Paisleyboxers talked about late nights--you aren't going to sell food on the sidewalk late at night, are you?

Well, it's not me doing it,

Well, it's not me doing it, I'm just spreading the word. As far as I know, the food will be sold during bar hours, I imagine that means until 2am or shortly thereafter. I could be wrong about this, so don't hold me to it.

Another great part of the whole thing is that when "Gimpy" asked Pit (owner of The Brotherhood) if he wanted any kind of "rent" for the use of the space, Pit responded "Just give $50 a month to Bread and Roses". Go Pit!

That all sounds great. We

That all sounds great. We need more diversity in our eats in Oly. Can't wait to see it.

oh yes

I can't wait. I hope they do lunch. I loved when Allan (I think his name was) had the hot dog cart with the $1.25 veggie dogs before he had the window or split to do festivals. ¡Viva street food!

 Specials suggestions: veggie dogs? With kraut?

Shish kabobs

Yakisoba

eh... smoothies?

strange and exotic jerky, like ostrich, alligator and emu? 

okay, all right, enough
