My Big Fat Greek Lunch: Having Chicken Shawarma at Gyro Express

8:26 AM EDT on April 13, 2023

In the middle of small-town Shawnee, past the endless antique boutiques, discount auto-parts dealers, and various vape shops that litter the road, I came upon a strange sight: a brightly food truck that read Gyro Express.

Near the AutoZone on Independence, I was amazed that an actual Greek food truck was near me, and to be fair, even more amazed that Shawnee had gyros at all.

But, as the acropolis-based edibles struck me down with savory spices and well-done meats, I was pleased to find the elusive Shawarma on its menu.
