The Two Hundred and Twelfth...


Number Two Hundred and Twelve:

Home, Dinner, Gyros

After Lisa picked these from our garden,

we got to use them in our meal tonight!

Another Friday finished. Homemade gyros and Tron Legacy for the evening. I really don't know why I decided that we should watch both Tron movies. The original we saw last week, and was pretty incredible for the time it came out. I hope the new one is at least entertaining...

Trak's, Lunch, Gyro








Trak's does gyro well, try it. Oh, they also have a lot of cool fake plants, note grapes behind me, all over and I bet in the evening is all lit up funny.

The Eighty-Ninth...

Number Eighty-Nine:






The Grapevine Greek & Italian Cuisine, Lunch, Gyro Sandwich





Carolyn and I first tried to go to this other Greek restaurant on Broad, former owners of the Greek Circus (which closed) now back in the restaurant game. The place was closed Mondays. Whoops. Okay then, how about we see if Zorba's has opened back up since that kitchen fire a month ago? Nope, not back in business for a few months according to their voice mail. Okay, The Grapevine is always a good place, parking the Bookmobile can get a little tight, but we manage. We get seated and who do we see but Henrico County Manager Virgil Hazelett eating lunch with some other well dressed dude. A few more shirts and ties come in, giving The Virge a nod and a wink and a hello. Wow, he's like Norm from Cheers here! We tend to see him when we are here on certain Mondays, so it wasn't really new. Me trying to get him in the Napstache photo, however, that would have been. I just couldn't manage without coming across like an insane employee, and hey, I gotta keep a good rep here people! The waitress approaching me in this shot, well, I am pretty sure she already wrote me off as a little nuts when I asked her complicated questions about getting a salad instead of fries and could I Greek it up.

Anyway, I tried so...

The Eightieth...

Number Eighty:






Balkan Restaurant, Lunch, Chicken Gyro






After reading the recommendation in Richmond Magazine, and me doing Yelp mapping, Lisa and I finally had the chance to try this nice little restaurant in the West end. We started with some cheese Burek, very tasty and fluffy. Then we each had the chicken gyro with two sauces to choose from; one was a red pepper sweet thing and the other was a sour cream and feta thing that was terrific. The bread they make is homemade and fantastic! I asked if we could get some to go for our dinner in the evening, but they said they couldn't because they only made a certain amount. I think our waitress thought I meant for free, but we were wanting to buy some. Anyway, she said we could call ahead for any large orders like that. Good stuff. Service was very friendly and it felt very much family oriented. Very culturally Balkan as many people came in, families, speaking the language and yucking it up like it was a neighborhood restaurant. Recommended spot, wish it was a little closer to town however, because I don't think we will get out there much. The Bookmobile however...

;-)

Balkanstache!

The Twenty-Fourth...

Number Twenty-Four:



Basilis, Lunch, Gyro

We were hitting Carytown early, cuz that's how we roll, and ahead of the crowd, even for lunch at this great little Greek eatery. Tokyo Market and
World of Mirth for stocking stuffers,Chop Suey Books where I picked up the funniest book title EVER called "Eeeee Eee Eeee" by Tao Lin, and a few other places on our list. No over the top consumerism, I swear!

Mirror Napstache here, note the Napstache P.O.V. on the left side.
