Can Greek Street Food Really be as Good as Restaurant Food?

[@JohnB-xg2om]

Quality yet again Dj, quick question if you have time to answer. If you opened a street food stall what would you offer the customers?

[@DarrenJohn]

I would do Philly Cheese Steaks

[@AJ-sv5qg]

I would do real curry, cooked over 3 hours with, curry, chilli's, herbs and spices. No nonsense dairy or so called curry sauce. Real curry is red not yellow

[@keithrowe4317]

Very nicely done, mix of a good meal + good music 🎶, & yes the strings do work in the vlog!!😎👍…Should had a nice Baklava to top it all off!?! Cheers, 😎👍🇨🇦

Excellent vlog looked very tasty. We cook a very similar dish at home here in cyprus marinated chicken cucumber onion tomato feta cheese olive oil and topped with crispy fried chicken skin and of course pita bread.

[@jimmysnailshoes]

That sauce, you went a bit Nigella on us there D.J. seriously though another great vlog

[@Jay-Leigh]

I so enjoy your videos Darren. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before in my village we have a pub, that’s it! Four miles to the next village 😂 So seeing the streets of London and the food is such a treat for me personally. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us lot. The food looked delicious 🤤 Have a super lovely day stay safe 😊❤

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you Jayleigh, must be nice to know everyone living in the village (or almost) 🙂

[@Jay-Leigh]

@@DarrenJohn I have to confess I’m also the “Verger”. So they know me more than I know them. No vicar of dibley jokes thank you ☺️ ☺️☺️☺️🙏🏻 but seriously it is lovely very peaceful ❤️

[@annemarieelton2069]

Lovely quirky idea with the venue I cannot eat olives 🫒 however the rest of the dish seemed fresh & tasty Loving your food reviews Darren xx👍👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you 😋

[@kezzacollinson621]

Hi Darren, I have been asking you for Greek….and that looked amazing 🤩 Typical healthy,fresh Greek food ❤❤❤

[@DarrenJohn]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@sandiemarian304]

l love Greek food. I would have had the gyros with pitta bread. Nice one again DJ.🌮

[@nickgolding5786]

Used to love eating the fried white bait with fresh crusty bread and tamasata when I used to hol in corfu many moons ago 😊

[@junemccann5981]

Beautiful Darren but I can't do olives at all. 🤮Lol! Love the onion and cucumber though. Glad you enjoyed it. Music was bliss too. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks so much

[@ThePensta81]

Ok I may be biased being Greek but I was super excited to see you try Greek food as its definitely a fave of mine. Technically you removing the lettuce made it more authentic to a real Greek salad as they don't put lettuce in it. As for the olives I would have happily taken yours 😂 I used to hate them too but now I don't mind them (has to be kalamata ones like the ones you had). Knowing you have a sweet tooth like myself if you ever see loukamades on a Greek menu anywhere you should definitely give them a go as they are Greek donuts and are so good!! Usually served warm with a honey syrup. Thanks for giving Greek food a try. Loved it! 🇬🇷 😊

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

Surprised what you said about lettuce. All my years in Cyprus, I have never been served a Greek salad without lettuce.

[@ThePensta81]

@@jeanettedemosthenous2685 Cyprus may be a little different to Greece. A proper Greek salad doesn't have lettuce (the original way). It should just have cucumber, tomato, olives, feta, olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano. But really you can make it or eat it anyway you like. 😊🥗

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

@@ThePensta81 Very delicious either way x

[@ThePensta81]

@@jeanettedemosthenous2685 Absolutely!! 🥗💙

[@DarrenJohn]

I'm not a Greek food expert, so maybe an OTC for you. For the record, the olives are all yours 😂🙏🏼

[@neiloldfield]

Great stuff DJ Get to benidorm with macmaster love it when you two Collab 👍👍

[@DarrenJohn]

If only Neil

[@TheSpokesman69]

I had am appointment at Guy's hospital. I so want to ho round Borough Market and find all these food stalls you have shown us on previous videos but just don't have the time as it's a long day and by the time we leave it can take almost 2 hour's to get home

[@denniswendy11]

Very health Lunch, Looks great..

[@butterflydiva1]

Looked delish again. I love olives with feta just don't like the hassle of removing the stone. How would you describe that sauce? Thank you sweet for showing this place to us as I, like many, are on a low carb diet, so it's great to know a place different from the norm exists xx

[@sparkymarky9883]

Hi there, another great video like always very interesting to watch. This looks great I can I said I can’t wait to get over to London to have a look at some of the food looks brilliant and hopefully do some filming myself really interesting like always, but I never say that all the time I should say something else.

[@DarrenJohn]

Let me know when you are visiting and what you are looking for, I will point you in the right direction 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@brianherring6393]

Right up my street a lovely fresh healthy clean plate of food 👍

[@janw1746]

Course your 'at the top end'..👏👍..🌟

[@JohnWalker-ho4gl]

Another enjoyable blog Darren but why the funereal dirge, you usually get the music spot on !

[@DarrenJohn]

Blimey, I cant nail it all the time

[@stephenperry2870]

Hi looking good and very relaxed getting very professional,don't let popeye know about your opinion on olive 😂 keep it up, keep safe.

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks 👍

[@geourgiou]

DJ, I'm glad that you enjoyed the gyros, I come from a greek Cypriot background and I live in North London, tons of greek restaurants where I live. Hopefully one day you'll try the Cyprus cuisine.

[@paulbass1972]

Love street food. Could be an Easter weekend treat..

[@thelmabrindley2369]

Darren, your face when you ate the olive was "Off The Charts" 🤣🤣 That was not my kind of food, but glad you enjoyed it. Didn't you go there with Luke ?

[@helenwilliamson7099]

Looks really nice again ❤

[@AJ-sv5qg]

Looked so nice. Healthy option as well

[@yohanone]

The Athenian is lovely, went to the branch in Victoria

[@ianm2170]

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson: "When a man is tired of kalamata olives, he is tired of life."

[@DarrenJohn]

🤦‍♂️

[@karensterling5597]

Love Greek food feta my fav , agree street food is far cry from when used get burger or hot dogs very top now, thanks Darren j. Your a star

[@DarrenJohn]

Indeed

[@rmil4531]

Kalamata olives are my favourite. I love Greek food, usually only have it in Greece. I’m not fussed for stuffed vine leaves but the way they cook lamb is delicious. Good video. Thank you.

[@kevinhoughton9134]

I'm with you DJ on the olive thing, I hate them! Enjoyed the vlog though.

[@jglasernyc]

I would try it for sure, OTC! I'm not an olive fan either by the way.

[@rachelshonahague5718]

A bit of healthy can't hurt I guess. 🤫 yeh! That looked really good . 😉

I. Very impressived with the no carb button

Love Greek food & that looks good 🥙🍴😋Thanks DJ 🤗

[@sarahroberts6672]

Looks amazing what was the sauce you added?

[@DarrenJohn]

No idea 😂 I think you see it on the menu

[@karengalley3669]

I’ve never tasted olives and don’t plan to. Looked lovely and healthy. What was in the sauce please?

[@DarrenJohn]

My first time, but filmed it on the menu

[@yohanone]

You need to try their wraps

[@gavlosmedia6323]

Love greek food Back to Corfu in August

[@mikewilliams4499]

Olives with anchovy inside...epic.

[@karenandmike6650]

Hi Darren ! Love your videos ! I am only just getting used to olives as I used to hate them too 😳but keep trying different ones as they all differ 😆 Just wondered what the yellow sauce was that you tried ? It looked lemony 👀

[@DarrenJohn]

I think I show on the menu - not lemony at all

[@angierobinson5570]

That looked delicious DJ, what was the orange sauce 🤔 I would definitely try that dish 👍🏻 another great vlog 🙌🏻

[@DarrenJohn]

Included when I filmed the menu - so good

[@peterdawson5115]

Love Greek food, fresh, tasty and usually healthy, can’t wait for my next trip to Greece 🇬🇷👍

[@dottydot8058]

that does look good i will try my boxpark food now

[@christinewilloughby3487]

I can't get away with olives either the taste always reminds me of germaline antiseptic cream . The sauce looked amazing

[@davidnm21]

You’re like myself Darren, I have a thoroughly dislike of olives, a salty, sour vile taste which I detest. Greek food I do enjoy. Anyway nice little vlog DJ.

[@dennisward2323]

One thing about our country Darren is that you can get restaurants who serve food from all over the World! For a small country we really do punch above our weight.👍

[@colinrattray816]

Wow I thought that looked amazing!

[@cdeldn2012]

Great video yet again DJ!

Greek food is best done at home. Every one does it slightly differently but very few eateries are any good.

[@shanegammell578]

Another excellent stream darren

[@Steeley67520]

Another great video Darren. Out of interest, what was the yellow sauce you put on the Greek food ! Keep the videos coming, myself and my wife love watching them. All the best mate 👍

[@DarrenJohn]

I filmed it when I was ordering - loved it

[@billmagowan1492]

Assuming the sauce was Avgolemono…egg & lemon?? a Greek classic

I have to say Box Park is ok. Been a couple of times, but I prefer Dirty Burger across the road TBH.

[@andrewgalt3964]

Enjoyed your video at Boxpark for me a preferred option for eating street foods given the tables and chairs availability for me I find it awkward to find a suitable eating location especially in central London ❤

[@chrisaris8756]

That looked good - and I’ll eat the olives if you don’t want them!!! For years I hated olives then one day I loved them. A lot of people say that so keep trying them. You might click! That was a good Keto dish - what was in the sauce??? Sadly no Greek restaurants in our part of the world, Turkish yes but no Greek. Shame. And thanks for resisting the temptation to play bouzouki music!!!!

[@DarrenJohn]

😂😂

Agree 💯 percent tried a olive once my self in a salad horrible taste 🤢

Nice one. Olives are horrible to me as well. So bitter.
