“If you don’t have a rotisserie...”

Bro my card got declined on a bag of taki’s

Tzatziki tip from a Greek: Grate the cucumber in the big cheese grater and then squeeze all the liquid out. LITERALLY GAME CHANGING! In Greece we never cut the cucumber, we only grate it. Plus we use vinegar instead of lemon ☺️

“I love your pita” “Thanks! It has pockets!”

Tips from a Greek 🇬🇷: if you are using the rotisserie that Joshua used to rotate the gyros put a whole tomato 🍅 on top!! We do that in Greece and literally adds a lot to the flavour of gyros!! Also you can grate the cucumber strain it and put it in the tzatziki . Last the pita bread is thinner and bigger here in Greece so try to make it thinner but not too thin !!

Tzatziki tip: Scrape out the watery core of the cucumber and discard. Grate the cucumber with the big holes on your grater, salt the grated cucumber and let it sit for like 5 minutes. Squeeze excess water from the cucumber. Tastes much better than just cubing the cucumber.

Those pita breads Are gorgeous. As a retail bakery manager for the past 20 years, I am more than happy to give customers frozen Kaiser rolls in raw form To make pita bread at home the same way. So stop by your local supermarket bakery and ask. They should be able to help

I like how Josh makes cheap and tasty meals using kitchen equipment his viewerbase will never own.

As a greek, I can say that this man has put more effort into this souvlaki than most Greek gyros places

I’m jealous of your cameraman, as he gets to eat what you cook .

Papa's Greek pronunciation was spot on! Love how he seeks out authentic recipes and uses metric.

The kind of pita you made was a middle eastern style pita that has a pocket. Greek/Mediterranean pitas are generally thinner and so when they cook they don't puff up as much resulting in no pocket, hence why Gyros are traditionally placed on top and folded like a taco.

A couple small tips from a Greek. Pita is usually a lot thinner and usually they spread tzatziki on the pita before the gyros. Also cucumber is grated and then sqeezed and vinegar is used instead of lemon. Also tzatziki usually contains healthy amount of garlic.

I grew up on these, typically made of Lamb/beef/chicken but that Pork belly and shoulder combo looks freaking amazing. I need it.

[alexpashalidis]

As a Greek man, I am happy that you pronounced gyro and tzatziki properly lol

[rxanime]

I see Josh is flexing on Arby’s gyros without mentioning them. I like it.

[damianosvlachos]

as a greek I love this, my only critique is that I think that the pita that you made was a bit too bready. But for everything else,

[cnharitos]

As an actual Greek person, even 1 minute in I am proud of your pronunciation 😌

[fncsmiley]

Ok as a Greek felt proud of what i saw. Tzatziki sauce was good enough but if you want you can make it simpler or traditional,
Just add the yogurt - dill - salt - 1tbsp apple/wine vinegar - 1 whole cucumber grated and wring it till dry - 3-4 cloves of grated garlic and here you are :D

Btw keep up the good work Joshua every video you made is beyond awesome

[opusermighthunt]

I feel like he has so much fun complementing his own work at the end of each vid

[pokopingos]

As a greek, seeing someone from the us make ACTUAL real looking gyros makes me wanna cry, thank you lord joshua
