The melted cheese is saganaki, just a delicious hunk of cheese (usually kefalotyri [sp?] or Kasseri) dredged in flour and shallow fried in olive oil, typically the staff will flambé it table side with some brandy, yelling “OPAAAAA” then they’ll put out the flames with lemon juice. I could seriously eat 10lbs of it with fresh bread and a simple horiatiki salad. Greece might actually be the food to convert the two of you into veggie lovers.

You must come to Greece!

Greek from Athens here! Kalimera! Yes, the correct pronunciation is "yee-ros" instead of a Gyro. The places you went for food are 100% run by actual Greeks since the souvlaki has fries in it like the originals here (although its the modernised post-1980s version). The cheese that you had in that restaurant is called "saganaki" and its a pan-fried semi-hard cheese called "Graviera/Kefalograviera". Its absolutely amazing and a great starter. Although we eat it straight up without the bread and contrary to popular belief, it never comes "in flames/flambe". In Greece at least.... I would also like to add that the Greek salad you got was authentic and that makes me so happy due to the many "fake" versions with lettuce that exist. You guys truly made my morning and i hope you liked the samples of our dishes that are so rare to find abroad! Filakia (kisses) from sunny Greece!

In case you are wondering, this is exactly how we eat in Greece when we go out. We make huge orders and eat until we can not eat anymore. Then we ask for the check and once the free dessert arrives, some space in our stomachs magically opens to finish the dessert.

​@@BunnieHuxtable "Souvlaki" is a name that is used for every type of pita bread with meat in general, regardless of the meat type. It can be skewers, Gyros or kebab. Example: "Souvlaki Gyros".

i'm greek and i would like to say this...Greek traditional pita soyvlaki ( pork skewer ,pork gyros) does not contain potatoes and the reason is that u r missing the true taste of meat and veggies such as tzatziki sauce ,tomato, onion, parsley and paprika ... now the potato inside pita gyros or pita soyvlaki skewer just gives only quantity, volume, and the feeling you are full. we have a moto says: about spanakopita appetite means if u r hungry you can eat everything..thanks nice video.

Hello from Greece 💙🇬🇷💐

Those Greek potatoes are definitely crack! They are slowly roasted in garlic, lemon and chicken stock with pepper and oregano for over an hour. Once I learnt how to make them many years ago from an old Greek-Lebanese neighbour of mine in Sydney they have been my fave side dish!

Greeks are legit like that, some of the best people ever, I love my Greek friends.

Greek fan from Thessaloniki here :) We take pride on how well we treat our guests, hospitality is something that is taught to us from a young age. We will always try to share our food and make new friends while we are at it! You nailed how to pronounce gyros, it is indeed "Yee-rosh" which is the cuts of meats either pork or chicken, "souvlaki" is the skewered meats which can still be either pork or chicken, you can ask for a pita with a skewer in it if you prefer the meat to be a bit more chunky! The deep you enjoyed in the Greek Tavern was Melitzanosalata, eggplant salad, basically we bake eggplants in the over, take the peel off and then strain the "flesh" of the eggplant, mix some yogurt with it and garlic with a bit of vinegar as well and there you have it! Traditionally lukumades are eaten with honey and nuts or almonds on them. Later on we started putting on them chocolate of other flavoring sauces. Thank you very much for enjoying the foods and conveying the feeling :) P.s. We are louder when in great numbers or enjoying ourselves a bit too much :P

Greek Australian here both lived in Melbourne and born raised in Greece.. and this is the authentic Greek gyros.. i remember in Melbourne we only used to find chicken and lamp gyros without fries and with Lettuce salad..the most common gyros in Greece is pork.. I've been a fan for a long time glad to see a Greek vlog...

As a Greek-Australian with an Asian wife, I find your white-yellow brotherhood compliment spot on! No other food can even compare to Greek and Asian food.

I love when ppl enjoy my country’s food and the atmosphere! So glad you guys tried traditional Greek food today. Definitely fly out to Greece if you can once in your life. Everyone’s so kind and really treats you like family plus the beautiful beaches and great food!

YES! I'm so glad you did a Greek episode! To answer your questions about souvlaki, what you both ate was actually gyros, pronounced just like you said. Traditional souvlaki is skewered meat, usually pork or chicken, sliced tomatoes, tzatziki and fries. We don't eat fries on the side when eating souvlaki because they are already in the wrap. I'm glad that you enjoyed your food!

I am Greek, Greece is very famous for its wonderful local food, it also has some attractions, like the Acropolis and Thermaikos, it also has many beautiful islands, like Santorini, as well as beautiful Corfu , it also has very nice seas, I recommend you to visit Greece. Kisses from beautiful Greece

Your pronunciation of Gyros was spot on! I hope you can visit Greece one day

damn, the people at jim's restaurant were so welcoming even I started to feel like part of the family

This made me miss Greece so much! I highly recommend you guys go because the experience you had in the tavern is exactly like what I experienced over there! It’s amazing they make you feel like family!

There’s a little family run Greek restaurant down the street from me that does amazing Greek food. My favorite of course is the souvlaki, which is usually on skewers!!! Also, Fasolakia is a traditional green bean side dish and is totally a must try at places that have them! Will have to get Greek for dinner now this week since this video made me crave it even more!

the vibe in this esp. is amazing. will love to try greek food too. great video

love u guys so much, ur videos make me so happy :')

YESSSS, Been waiting for this for ages!!!

First of, thank you for trying our food. But I have to say, the most I have ever paid for Gyro is 8 euros (I don't know how much it is in dollars ), but for, almost, double the quantity in the plate. This was in a fast food in Ioannina in Greece called "Οι Βλάχοι". Mutch love from Greece :)

Greek viewer here! I left a comment from a different account I follow you a couple weeks ago about the large Greek community in Australia and I am so happy you did a Greek food video! 🙋 As you can see you have many Greek viewers and we love you! Your Greek was spot on! Impressive! Also, your impression about my people is very accurate. If you show respect about our culture and food, that we take a lot of pride in, we will treat you like family. Our food is simple and on the healthy side with lots of vegetables and fish. If you ever come to Greece make sure you do your research first and go to all the hidden local gems instead of the tourist ones. Better food, lower prices. The souvlaki wrap (each) you ate it costs about 2.30 to 3 euros here fyi. You will pay lower prices for greek food here than in Australia in general for sure. Love from Athens! 💙

Amazing video guys !!!Greek viewer here

The cheese dish is saganaki which is a very popular dish when they have it a Disney World. The chips in sandwiches are something that took off during the 2000's and today they use tater tots! Jonny, your best friend is Dalena. Greek Lemon potatoes are amazing! In NY Astoria in Queens used to be primarily Greek. I miss some of the restaurants that served what you ate! Delicious, no?

I’ve tried so many different foods from different countries but never Greek 😭 it looks like all the stuff I love 🥰

awesome that you showcased Greek food cause Melbourne has one of the largest Greek populations outside Greece what you mean you don't eat no vegetables?! oh that's okay i make eggplant

Greek here from the US! 🖤 I'm guessing that dip on the meze plate that you loved so much is their own version of melitzanosalata or baba ganoush. I got so hungry watching this video and it made me miss my mum's home cooking 😭 I'm glad you had such a wonderful feast!

You guys really do look like you both really enjoyed all the food today in fact loving it and look So excited. Usually you have been having food that’s ok or one or two items so so. So good that you both love it so much. You guys should come to Europe. Look forward to the next video 🤣😋 “queen of potato’s” such an accurate statement.

Me and my fam have been going to Jim’s tavern for years it’s 💯 my mouth is watering watching this !!!!!!

Awesome video, actively searching for greek food around this I am currently traveling to.

I love Greek food. Definitely one of the benefits of living in Melbourne is the awesome Greek food. Chicken gyros and spanakopita are my favourites 🤤

Those pitas you had for lunch looked exactly like the ones I had on Crete. Stuffed with fries which I thought was weird but oh so delicious. Dinner looked fantastic too and makes me want to go back to Greece! Thanks for the video from a fan in Ottawa, Canada.

Kalimera Souvlaki Art is my favourite Gryos shop in Melbourne. Their Gyros reminds me of the Gyros I had in Fira, Santorini so many years ago. It's where I first understood that Pork is traditional (not lamb) and chips in the Gryos is a MUST. Oakleigh is a great place for all sorts of delicious Greek food, desserts and cakes.
