Happy shawarma day!I've got 1 big question: why is this not a thing in the states?Discuss
>>22247557Not in my nation, terrorist
>>22247557Because it's just four local restaurant chains that decided to do a joint promo.The bigger question is, why isn't Tahini's one of the restaurants doing that? They're in Toronto also.
>>22247563>bomb defused
>>22247563Tasty food is tasty food despite your hang ups>>22247605>Because it's just four local restaurant chainsDam, u ignant. It ain't just these 8 either, but assume all u wan
9/11 is unironically the reason middle eastern restaurants cannot survive outside of large cities in the US
>>22247557>Why are gyros not a thing in the States?"Let me tell you about your country," the thread. This entire site blew up with pic related 4 years ago.>>22247644Fake. They don't have large, logo-driven, name-brand gyro restaurants in rural areas in the 3rd world, either.
>>22247563your country is over 50% shit skin, its already a lost cause that will be abandoned by israel soon
>>22247557the % of good shawarmas here in my eu city is below 1%
best shawarma in israel is run by a guy who is supposed to be dead
>>22247557Wtf is shawarma anyway?
>>22249074Are you familiar with gyro/döner/carne al pastor? Basically, cuts of meat stacked on a skewer and roasted on a vertical spit (or as it's said on parks and rec "a meat tornado")Question: whereabouts do you live and what's the ethnicity of your area (mostly white, some hispanic, etc)?
>>22249183Yeah i am familiar, so answer the question.
>>22249321Basically, cuts of meat stacked on a skewer and roasted on a vertical spit (or as it's said on parks and rec "a meat tornado")I answered yours. You going to answer mine?
>>22247557>Another technique Jan uses sometimes is she eats a lot of shawarma before I come home, and that gasses up her spaghetti house and makes a sewage stink all in the bedroom.
>>22247557osmows and lazeez are so shitty these days you couldn't pay me $5 to eat there anymore.
>>22247747>This entire site blew up with pic relatedBut why though?>>22248576I'm also going to need context to this plz>>22249363Agreed. I had shelby's yesterday, didn't have a pleasant taste. Of all the chains though, tahinis is alright and (I kid you not) villa madina is best. But of course, ANY local hole-in-the-wall shawarma joint is best
>>22249338What is the difference from kebab is what you should be telling me
>>22247557>>22247633Interesting how many of them incorporate a meat tornado into their logo
>>22249920Answer me first dammit
>>22249992White
>>22250445Okay, now we're gettin somewhereAnd whereabouts? Are you in a southern state in a hick town? Or a more populated city on the east coast?>What is the difference from kebabThe key difference, besides spices (which I won't even bother getting into) is that kebab is chunks of meat on handheld skewers and is cooked individually. Shawarma on the other hand (along with gyro/döner/carne al pastor) are piles of thinner slabs of meat stacked on top of the other on a long skewer, about 3'-4' long, cooked on a vertical spit; the point of this is so the outer layer is cooked, cut off and served, and repeated in a slow and steady fashion, ideal for serving customers throughout the dayDid I miss something?
>>22247557Never eat franchised shawarma
I live in Greece and these are the same if not cheaper prices we get for a shitty wrap,at this point frozen gyros gets me more bang for my buck and even better quality meat,it's insane
>>22250588Stavros, in your opinion, is gyro easy to fuck up?Part of why shawarma is popular here (in leafland) is cuz of how most gyro joints suck ass; the meat is mushy, heavily salted, and rarely crispy. But the gyro joints that do thrive are fuckin phenomenal
