Gyro Day
In Chicago, the gyro is a way of life. The meat is stacked on a vertical spit, shaved thin, and served on pita with tzatziki, tomato, onion, and fries. In Greektown, they have been doing this since the 1960s. The gyro is not Greek. It is Turkish (doner), which became Greek (gyro), which became American (the thing you order at 2 AM from a cart on the street).
