Skorpios Gyros in Newark, Ohio: Must-Try Eats

I wrote about Skorpios Gyros before but it’s worth bringing up again. This is the place to go in Newark, Ohio if you want a good gyro. We had the small Traditional Lamb Gyro with the Greek Fries and we were not disappointed. The Greek Fries have seasoning on them, along with feta cheese, banana peppers and a drizzling of olive oil. There was plenty enough for two, so we shared those. We found the small gyro and the fries to be a satisfying meal.
Now, that’s not to say that I couldn’t eat the regular, but the small was plenty. Their special is a combo:  small gyro with regular fries and a drink for $5.99;  and the regular gyro special is a dollar more. You can get a small gyro by itself for $3.99 or a regular for $4.99.
Nice service too the people there are friendly. It’s great to have a local gyro place right near downtown, too.

Bread goodness from Great Harvest

We’re so bummed out Great Harvest Bread Company closed their Newark store and no longer sell at the downtown farmer’s market. Their bread is wonderful for a treat. It’s got perfect consistency, great flavor and no preservatives. At a premium $5 a loaf, it is definitely a treat! I guess Newark isn’t a $5 a loaf kind of town. I stopped in their Pickerington store while I was in town with a friend. I still had one free loaf remaining from a drawing the Newark store had, and the Pickerington store honored it. Jalapeno cheddar bread it was! I also got Popeye and Dakota loaves.
