Who knows where to get original PORK Gyros in Chicago?

Question

I'm tired of the mixed fatty 'whatever' you get sold in Chicago as Gyros. Looking for a place that makes pork Gyros, who knows such one? - thanks.

Answer 1

JB Gyros on W 79th might be a good start if you haven't tried that already?

Or there's the Parthenon Restaurant on Halsted, which the previous reply mentioned as a good street to start with.

Hope that steers you in the right direction...

Answer 2

You realize gyros are made from lamb, right? That's the "fatty whatever" you'll find typically sold as gyros meat---and it's tasty!

The general understanding in Chicago is that gyros meat is lamb, not pork.

Most places where I have gotten gyros, the staffers cut the slices of meat off from a hunk of lamb meat on a spit. That's why I doubt the meat product is a mix of questionable "meats" such as is sometimes the case with cased meats, e.g., hot dogs and other sausages. But I could be wrong....

Answer 3

probably somewhere along Halsted St in Greektown

or a shop that sells polish sausages, burgers, and hot dogs

Answer 4

pork gyros? gross
