"Imagine a life where instead of looking for problems you look for solutions."
Solid advice in any setting.
Math abused that saying.
Without knowing the problem can’t work out the solution
@@mthienk7377 True, I thought the same thing. It might be best to emphasize looking for the solutions, rather than staring down problems hoping they will go away. Yet when we emphasize solutions, I think at least, that we can all really enhance our creativity, and our confidence in our ability to look at things in a unique way. I know that when I look at solutions and don't consistently focus on my problems, then I really enhance my ability to problem solve and have faith in myself.
Guys chill, let's eat the gyros
energy flows where attention goes
whatever you consistently focus on , becomes your reality , be careful with your power of attention 😉
As a person from Greece it’s insane that anyone would pay 10$ for a gyro, 3$ gyros should be a human right
Amen to that brother.
tbf the food in Greece is just way cheaper overall than it is in the US. Or at least it was seven years ago; I haven't been there that recently.
I paid 18$ for mine yesterday lol
Everything here in the US is overpriced
@@Da1017cutter wow 🥴
Fan fact: 2€ (= about $2) used to be the default price for it in greece up until a few months ago. Now it's hard to find it for less than 3€
Komşu first time ?
Fun fact: Thanks to Erd*ğan Döner prices in Turkey raised to at least 40TLs from 2TLs
Wow that’s incredible actually
inflation at its best
In citys like Athens and Thesaloniki gyros was expensive already, but now it started getting more expensive everywhere.
Two tips for perfection you can also add a little bit of yogurt into the dough for additional texture and you can also add vinegar in the tzatziki
and dill instead of parsley on the tzatziki
You don't either dill or parsley are you crazy?
So the chicken is basically accurate?
Just made these today, pita and all, and WOW. Well worth it! I did make some changes to the tzatziki by adding fresh dill instead of parsley, and added juice of a lemon! 😀
As a Greek I find it crazy that gyros are sold for €10. Also good job for adding fries. Most non Greeks often dont add fries. Also in the tzatziki insted of the parsley you should add dill, its a lot better in my oppinion.
Δεν βαζουν πατατες στον γυρο μονο επειδη παει στα γυραδικα, βαζουνε για να μεγαλωσουν την πιτα με μικροτερο κοστος. Ευτυχως βαζουν αρκετο γυρο και δεν το κανουνε πατατοπιτα.
We’re American sir. We have fries with everything.
@@PanditaP how did you read this
@@sotirioskapartzianis235 i know they dont add fries because they are popular but not everyone adds them in. I just think its good joshua put them in.
@@sotirioskapartzianis235 what do you mean? It’s pretty straightforward lol. He said good job for adding fries, and I said of course we would add fries; we’re American. 😅
Over the past 4-5 years Greek food has been criminally under represented by magazines and food writers. Would love to see more....and I will be making these.
What other Greek food would you recommend?
@@catwithshades7577 I know you didn't ask me, but if I may, there's so much to choose from. Some staples are mousaka, stifado (beef stew with onions, served with pasta or rice), gemista (filled tomatoes with rice, minced meat and herbs). Mousaka is definitely the most time-consuming since you have to fry lots of stuff and wait for it to drain, while also making the minced meat sauce and bechamel sauce.
@@catwithshades7577 Sarmadakia or Dolmadakia are also great. Rolled vine leaves filled with rice and herbs, sometimes you can add minced meat too. A gift from the gods if you eat it from a greek grandma.
It's become trendy to just pretend Europe doesn't have great food unless it's Italy. The UK has great food and it's like a second job for people to convince themselves it doesn't.
In Cyprus, we make tzatziki with dried mint instead of parsley or dill. It's not super common in Greece I think but trust me, try it and be blown away. Ooh, also, you forgot the garlic in the tzatziki!
It looks like he grated it into the bowl between the S&P and olive oil :)
And mint sounds so good in this!!
My family is from chios and some people in my family put mint. It’s sorta a toss up between dill, mint, or no herbs in my family. All taste good honestly, but I think dill is my preference
I visited Cyprus when I was 7 and Crete when I was 9. What I remember most was eating the most delicious food of my life at a local gyros place. Holy moly it was delicious. It was served all on paper on the table and we got the gyros wraps and garlic fries.
Extra tips red wine vinegar in tzatziki and add oregano on potatoes. i also love to add a bit of mustard sometimes on potatoes. it's a great combination with tzatziki. Also u can make the same recipe with chicken fillets and accompanied the chicken gyro with tomato lettuce and cocktail sauce.
I worked in a nightclub in Greece and we finished work some days at like 5am or 6am and there was this little takeaway restaurant that opened for breakfast we’d always go to after work. They did chicken soup and breakfast sandwiches but the same places did gyros for €1.99 after 11 o’clock till late and there is nothing better after day drinking on the beach than a mixed pork and chicken gyros. If I was hungry I’d get 2
please give a raise to pahno and maybe include him in more videos. his personality raises the level of enjoyability of these videos from great to immaculate. 🐐
when I was on a school trip in Greece I ate $2 gyros every single day for a week
literally can't get enough of these
I went to Greece last year and let me tell you it is one of the cheapest and most delicious meals ever!!!
Coming from Chicago and going to various gyro stands and shops all over, i'm used to the ground meat cone type of gyro. Those tend to be easier and somewhat cheaper especially if you go all beef. Lamb is actually kind of hard to come by where I live, and it's expensive when you do find it. But all beef, seasoned to perfection baked in the oven and pressed immediately afterward...only thing I miss i the super thin shaved meat coming off of the "loaf". Homemade tzatziki with dill, homemade pitas.....almost makes me not visit my favorite shops :)
Perfection. We can finally get back to the golden age of the 2.40 gyros. Prices have increased all over Greece recently.

He should do but better crumbl cookie
Think one of the best gyros I've ever had was like 4 or 5 years ago at a random place along a road in nowhere greece for 1.79
@@resania1 sounds like rat meat
@@hippiemuslim you sound like an ignorant fuck
Wow i always wanted to make your recipes but im too lazy to buy the specific ingredients, however for this recipe I already have everything and it looks so good 🤤🤤
Dude I’m subscribing. This is actually informative AND funny as hell. Done in a smooth way. Hats off
I’m Greek and that one is 👌🏻👌🏻😍🚀
One note to make with tzatziki, I would recommend adding plenty of lemon juice and some dried or fresh mint.
Some use dill some use mint it’s personal preference
@@CherrrrBear A greek friend of a friend used oregano
It's not lemon juice. The correct ingredients is vinegar.
@@Fkillergr I stated a recommendation, I personally prefer lemon juice as the citrus flavour works well👍
Food is like painting, we all do our own thing with it. I like a bit of lemon, and a bit of white wine vinegar, but what do I know.
1. Pronounced gyros the right way.
2. Added fries.
3. Used pork instead of lamb.
GREEKS APPROVE🇬🇷
Also gyros has been a very controversial thing these last few months in Greece. It used to be around 2.30-2.50$ and recently it changed to 3+$. They were literally talking about it on the news, so it’s really been affecting us. But yeah great job josh!!❤️❤️
What’s wrong with lamb?
@@marquisdelafayette3333 nothing at all. it’s just not what we eat in Greece. Lamb is more of a festive food here, especially on Easter or when we celebrate something, we may make roasted lamb. it’s not really and every day dish and definitely not a street food.
@@pinelopik98 oh ok, thanks

Josh, I can only stand your videos when I'm drunk, but when they hit they do hit
I remember first having one of these at 16 when I was staying In Greece for a month. Ones you get in UK nothing like them so I was really interested in this recipe. Going to have to try making it when I have the time!
Homemade gyros are key, I usually slow roast a leg of lamb for a few hours and pull it apart
From a home cook that’s been praised on multiple occasions for his homemade gyros…. both your marinade and white sauce are missing acidity (vinegar is crying somewhere in the corner of your pantry). Also I’d replace rosemary with thyme. Other than that… spot on.
Do you have the recipe for it?
@@peoplepeople21 Use Joshua‘s recipe but add acidity (e.g. vinegar) to the sauce and marinade and replace the rosemary with thyme…
@@peoplepeople21 it’s basically the same exact recipe, except you add a touch of vinegar to both, to balance out the fat in the meat and the garlic in the tzatziki.
hey Josh!!!! Thank you for doing this! I could suggest the pronunciation Yeeros
i dont know anyone named luke to warm my water
I’m obsessed with your videos! I’m literally never bored watching you bake/cook. You’ll have me laughing throughout the entire video lol
We used to go to Greece on holiday when I was a kid in the 00's and I will always remember the happy and hairy Gyros pita man ready to make us tired tourists some beautiful 1€ pitas...
Now I am a grown, hairy man as well, and I too, make amazing pitas with a smile on my face.
Thank you papa...
There's only 2 food show hosts I trust enough to get/use recipes from. One of them is Joshua Weissman and the other is Alton Brown.
Yasou Josh, pame!!! Great job malaka!! killed it! Best one ive seen so far from a non Greek on YT! 💪🏼💪🏼🔪🔪 Cheers from Athens Greece🥂
The (Weiss)man really took that brutal Reddit thread’s criticism to heart and came with a $2 gyro recipe video less than a week later. Beautiful.
What was the Reddit thread?
Link?
The quality of the whole thing was top notch but I think there were a few things that could have been different.
1. The Pitas (which means pie in Greek, but Greeks use that word for all kinds of pies like apple pie, or this pie etc) could have been a bit lighter in size and mass, they are usually smaller when served in Gyro places but thats not that big of a deal honestly.
2. Although I really like your idea of washing the onions with water to take out some of the acidity of the onion (and I am planning to use it in some recipes) it's not usually done with this kind of food. In Greece we usually just wash the onions briefly before cutting them since the Tzatziki is helping take out most of the acidity because of the yogurt.
3. Lastly, In my opinion, the sauce (Tzatziki) should go first unto the Pita so that it helps glue the rest of the ingredients together so they dont fall out like in most other fast foods (like burgers etc). So you just add the Tzatziki then the meat, onions, tomatoes and potatoes.
Btw, cutting it in half is a sin! Don't do that :D.
Okay greek uncle roger
how do you cut it properly?
@@catmuncher you dont apparently
He also could have saved some money by not adding PARLSEY to the tzatziki… wtf 😭
@@mounne13 I'm 20 and not an uncle bruh.
Delicious, added bonus: apple roasted in pork fat is something I didn't know I was in love with.
I love when RUclips chefs say something is "easy" and then proceed to describe a multi-day process. It's not that it's not worth it. Or that I won't do it. But c'mon, if something requires 20 steps and 30 hours of time, and the alternative is literally pulling something out of a bag, "easy" isn't the right word...
It’s not like you’re sitting there for 30 hours staring at an oven, I made this and it took 3 hours for multiple meals.
Certified Greek Approved, Josh. You make this more authentic than most Greek spots here in Toronto 😎
True Thessaloniki gyros is one of the best things ever 🇬🇷❤️
"Imagine a life where instead of looking for problems, you look for solutions" 2:32

Lmao got em
Your Papa’s jokes always makes me laugh lol. Keep it up!

shout out to Joshua for teaching us how to plan for our future and giving us a gold star , love you papa , i won't fail you
no parsley especially in tzatziki.
1rst goes tzatziki
2nd meat (and as your greek friend said main meat is pork)
3rd tomatoes and onion

Hey Josh - really appreciate your videos! Would you ever consider doing recipes that people living alone can do as well? I find that this series works, but I can’t do a lot of these because I live alone and a) it’s a lot of work b) a lot of it might go bad
bro we shoulda have a dinner party so we can cook these recipes together
My advice is to either halve the amounts or just get your exercise in and prepare to eat more than you normally would
My Grandma used to freeze the parts she wasn't going to eat right away. Bread is very cooperative.
This is authentic Greek and delish! Try dill instead of parsley in the tzatziki, even better
I've just come back from Greece, Kos Island, paid 3Euro for a Gyro everyday, amazing. Going to try this, thanks Josh! Also bought your book!
I was raised on subway “sandwiches” and pizza. I discovered Greek food as an adult (along with many other amazing foods lol) and immediately fell in love. Totally following this recipe EXCEPT…. Gotta say, I was so excited to see your tzatziki recipe and I was bummed there’s no dill or garlic. Maybe I’m eating inauthentic Greek food lol. I use full fat Greek yogurt, bunch of finely minced garlic, an English cuke (grated but not strained of its juices), unfiltered EVOO, and dill. Maybe a spritz of lemon if I’m eating it w/pita at home as a snack and not making full blown gyros. But also I’m not a chef and do not have a NYT bestselling cook book so what the hell do I know lol. Love ya papa.
This is my favorite one yet! Can you do picnic food and how to pack it, please?
I love the little cartoon graphics included in this vid, such a cute touch!
You're using a kris knife for your meat for carving? You're a warrior chef now! Good job.
mmmmm I have chicken thighs that i was wondering what to season with, now I know! Perfect timing for this one. Thank you!!
Even going to try Coconut milk yogurt tzatziki as well.
EDIT: Made it this week and it turned out great - chicken thighs are a great meat for these flavors, and the plain coconut milk yogurt work great for the tzatziki - loL! Used about 3 cloves of garlic too much for my small batch of sauce, but I survived!
Yay, the only way I can get a gyaro where I live is Arby's. It's pretty good but I'd rather learn how to make it myself.
THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY PRONOUNCING GYROS CORRECTLY!
Joshua's food in the "But Better" series: *b i g*
As a greek, I totally approve this. Next time, more potatoes and the assemble goes: tzatziki, salad, meat, potatoes, paprika. Kudos brother.
Your voice overs brings new meaning to 'hot in the kitchen' 😂 keep doing great👍
Just admire that we can make gyros for that cheap nowadays. Today, it's almost impossible to find gyros in Greece for less that 3.50€
As a Greek this is super accrate. Respect for the way you cun tomatos and onions, thats how they should be
I thought dill was the main herb in tzatziki? Either way this looks delicious and I’m not Greek so I could be wrong
From a few sources I've seen, tzatziki appears to be one of those things that's made differently depending on your family or location. Dill or parsley. Mint or no mint. Lemon juice or sumac. All of the above or some smaller combination. So many options, and all of them good - just find the version you like and have at.
@@sonipitts no sumac bro no sulac but in northern Greece people use dill and in the eastern part use the people parsley
my family is from Thessaloniki and we only use Greek youghurt, looooots of garlic, cucumber, salt, black pepper and olive oil.
Well, try and pick what you like. At home i make with lemon and dried mint, is what we enjoy
The original tzatziki is made with cucumber, a lot of grated garlic, some vinegar, olive oil, salt and no herbs
This looks so delicious but are we surprised? 😋
Great video! Love how you made this work in an oven and achieve great results
Nothing is like gyro in Greece but this looks so good!
I'm sad. I did this just as instructed and the middle was still raw even after over an hour. 3 lbs and 1/2 inch slices
Edit: lowered the heat and gave it another hour and it came out glorious
As a Greek from Greece, this is really good!
“we’re better than italians”
as an italian with a greek best friend, even i can confirm that this is true. like i cant even lie bc their food is sm better 😭
Love Josh, but I am not making homemade bread EVERY time.
Uhhh then don't? I'd rather him show how to make a pita/bun/bread/whatever than just using store bought. That way if you want to make it yourself you have something to follow, and if you don't want to make it you can just buy pre-made

I'm about to hunt down your dinner rolls recipe to make alongside dinner tonight. Not sure if it really goes with the porkchops, brussell sprouts and mac I'm planning to make (one of those wanna be fancy boxes of mac and cheese with different flavors, like gouda. Saw one at Aldi that was pesto and basil that was amazing), but I think a fluffy breadroll would be nice. I have some packs of yeast and the rest of a bag of bread flour that won't be used if I don't force myself to use them.
Or. I might make beer bread, which doesn't need the bread floue. It's quicker and easier. Grr, but those bread rolls be looking amazing when pulled apart, like a commercial 😂 Also, I don't drink alcohol, so I always feel so out of place and self-conscious buying beer. What type to buy, do I go with the brands I know or something new? Also, I only need a can the size of a Coke, but the stores always have them being twice as large. I could have my sibling drink the other half last year when we roomed together but now I live on my own. The beer will go flat before I'd want to use it, so...down the drain it will go. So wasteful, but I love the flavor it adds to the bread.
So, bread rolls that take more time or beer bread that's quicker and easier but I waste half of the beer? Decisions, decisions...😅
If you have the energy, the dinner rolls. But beer bread 🤔 who cares about the half beer lol 😂
@@characterblub I chose the beer bread, lol! I went back and watched his video on the Hokkaido milk bun dinner rolls and while they look really good, I had to go shopping today and my feet are hurting. Don't feel like standing as I roll out the buns. So, I'll make them another day 😁
1:58 I love summer ^^
Making pork souvlaki tomorrow and looked for this particular video for the pita bread recipe. I had already cubed the pork and put it in a marinade that I found on a different site. The pita dough is in the fridge. I'm sure it'll be great. I must say that I wish that I hadn't made the marinade that I did, and would have marinaded with the ingredients in this video, or maybe not... we'll see tomorrow I suppose.
As a greek i can say you even nailed the tzatziki, although we would put something like 10 cloves of garlic in it
" Instead of looking for problems look for solutions " is good advice.
Not just for food but for life in general.
For food in particular it means YOU have to figure out how to make it work. To make the budget work. To find the time. To make that bread. To make it better, cheaper and/or easier.
Papa does it again for my weekday dinner needs.
pita - tzatziki - tomato - onions - gyros - potatoes is the correct order to build it !!
You have my respect for this recipe and for the on point pronunciation of "gyros" and "tzatziki".
-Humble Greek fella.
And, you know what else has no "B" roll? "A" roll. Beautiful recipe, chef!
There is a Turkish lady who gets minced beef, pork, herbs, spices and onion mixed shaped into a log, refrigerated for a day then frozen for two. She takes the frozen meat log out and shaves of frozen wafers which are then fried and immediately assembled into a gyro. The unused meat log is immediately returned to the freezer so that it does defrost ready for next time.
Joshua descended into madness since I last watched him
watching this with Gyro Zeppeli's theme is GODLY
The best gyro I’ve ever had was made with the more traditional (in America I guess) lamb and beef mixture, with chunks of pork belly in it. Then the pita was seared closed on a flat top grill. It’s been over a decade since I’ve had that, but I still think about it.
I’m Greek and I personally think gyros is so good that it should cost 1 kidney. But 2 dollars. PLEASE 🥺
As someone who's from Greece, i can definitely say this is one of the best representations of gyros i have seen, as well as pronunciation. Great job.
Looks amazing, but lets be real. For someone who doesn't cook a lot and doesn't already have a lot of these cooking utensils and seasoning on hand, that grocery bill is not cheap, and the time investment to do all that... if time is money, it's way cheaper to hit up a gyro shack.
I am Greek with love Greek food because it’s amazing and you nailed that gyro
I made these last night - had to use beef roast because it was what I had on hand but wow! Definitely will be making it again with the pork butt.
We made the meat as shown in this video... and this is INCREDIBLE. Everyone enjoyed it! It was juicy, flavoury and crispy! 10/10 would recommend!!
GREAT I have tried it today I am so excited and looking forward to eventually perfect this recipe,
if I can add 2 notes one for the time of cooking and one for the spices
1) mine was still medium some parts rare on the inside after 45 minutes on 200+ celcius on air so I will play with the overall thickness not so much of the thickness of the stake (apprx 1cm thick) but the overall diameter of the gyros and
2) on top of your recommended spices I added bit of cinnamon, cumin and ground coriander that gave a sweet tenderness on the overall result.
Well done and thank you for the inspiration!
The way he made the gyro looks fantastic and great video man!
How to identify Greek people: scream "I'VE GOT FETA" and see what emerges
Pop pop. Never thought about pork on a pita. Going to try this hard core.
Just did this mate, very pleased. I like how you don't piss about with the information
Btw, the way you've done the pita bread is more similar to the one we do and use for gyros and souvlaki here in Cyprus.
First time i see a foreign cheff make tzatziki the right way,exactly how my mom makes it, exactly how i eat it at home.
We would go over to the Greek across the street from my brothers house and order Gyro, we'd get exactly THIS! The fries were what set them apart from other Gyro places in town. And they'd always have a shot of ice cold Ouzo for us while we wait. Good lord, my mouth is watering right now!
1:02 Brother gyros is the meat ( named like this because it turns while it cooks ) , what you got there is a Souvlaki .

Why am I surprised at the B-roll reveal at the end of every video? I know it's coming. I have prepared myself for it. But then I get all engrossed in the food prep and forget until about 3/4 of a second before Josh says, "B-roll!"
It looks so easy to cook in your way! Thank you for your recipe and my cooking confidence is improved a lot!
Today I learnt that I wasn't subscribed to Josh. His videos showed up on my RUclips homepage so much I assumed I had subscribed. I guess it just knows me too well. I rectified my failings tonight.
Omg, made this, superb, only change was cooking it in the rotisserie on my Weber gas grill
Muito bom este vídeo é super prático
