Dining & Wine: The Making of a Gyro Cone | The New York Times

[@tomynoks]

It's YEER-O, not Jy-ro.. lol.

[@ioakim31]

great to see a Greek company with such a big potential . amazing presentation .

[@bighuge1060]

I'm curious as to why the top of the cylinder of meat is trimmed to make a slight cone shape instead of it remaining an even cylinder shape. Thank you.

[@lordinferno88]

They do it to make it look more authentic, but they fail...big time.

[@BetyarPali]

The final conical shape is required to facilitate the hand motion of slicing, which is always done at a slight angle, from upper left to lower right (for a right handed person).

[@ChescoYT]

so it doesnt look like processed 'pink slime'

[@xAxMxWx]

@@ChescoYT it’s less slime more chunky paste ^_^

[@FactStorm]

To ship properly & more likely, to have a consistent shape & size to cook evenly

[@JayyThao]

Ji-ro? 😂😂😂 it’s pronounced “Year-ro”

[@ChescoYT]

Tnx, didn't know that

[@sentryzero]

No it’s not always. Check yourself

[@paxtown71]

Wrong. Where it's made in Chicago it is pronounced guy-ro

[@woodsplitter3274]

I thought it was "gear-oh".

[@mbourbon1974]

@@paxtown71 Wrong - Pronounced Year-ro or Yit-O

[@MichaelJGrant]

When in Chicago, to avoid giving yourself away as a tourist, always pronounce the word correctly. If you are trying to pass yourself off as a Chicago native, dropping the F-Bomb in the same sentence at least twice is a nice touch. Nuns and children below the age of five can usually get by with only using it once.

[@DeathBySnuSnu418]

🤣👍

[@astershake1162]

People always call it "gyro" as in "gyroscope" when it's normally pronounced more like "yir-oh" I just realized I'm over a decade late to the party.

[@andydubbya]

Haha I’m glad I found my people. It was like nails on a chalkboard listing to that!

[@rumrunner5853]

haha! The report can't even pronounce Gyro right! New York Times really isn't what it used to be!

[@sharonlatour6230]

TRUTH!!!!

[@BOOSETO]

I stopped watching after that. I have gone into "Gyro" places owned but, let's just say, not Greeks, and if they say it like that I walk out the door.

[@kdross6328]

Pretty comical - mispronouncing like that

[@TheZXKUQYB]

Pure Awesomeness

[@DChaddPortwine-Connect]

Um...since when was it pronounced giro. I thought it was yero, and I'm from Chicago. Is it an East Coast thing?

[@tylerhollyfield]

Since May 2019. It switched pronunciation officially for unknown reasons. It’s now pronounced ji-row

[@mafatone]

That guy looked like Captain Kangaroo. LOL

[@logano4056]

The real heroes

[@Dionysius18]

He didn't pronounce gyro correctly. It's "Yee-row"

[@dobmaster4412]

Gyros are very famous in Chicago like literally almost every local burger joint will have them

[@unknown_Noname451]

It's "YEE-ROH!"

[@francescodiioia6337]

He pronounced it "jy-ro".... He should be fired for that sin alone.

[@KevinBradley1]

Didn't need to see that, still love Gyros though XD

[@alinajustme11]

thats not gyros we dont use this in greece( thank god )we use chopped pieces of meat stack one atop each other i guess in america you really have a fetish with grounded meat or something oh also we dont use lam most popular is pork but there always have beef and chicken all separate not mixed up

[@geletmote]

we do lamb and chicken here in Australia rarely see pork gyro. Cyprus and Greece only use pork and chicken.

[@FactStorm]

@@alinajustme11 Its the US, what did you expect? Its fake and an insult to real gyros

[@michaelforman6292]

Nasty. Real gyros are built from slices of meat, not an emulsified come.

[@badhonmannaf7352]

stuff is delicious unfortunately lol

[@byJessCh]

why do they pronounce it as "gairos"? it's "yeerosh".

[@daveborn1971]

You figure the would have learn the right was to say Gyro

[@MrDubblup]

Welp... I’m never eating that again.

[@latingchampion4617]

I wish to have a use cone machine, I will want to open a shop in my home country

CHI CITY!! 💪🏾💪🏾

[@sentryzero]

Chi city mayne

[@kriskris2625]

What are the another “ingredients “?

[@patio87]

Salt. Lots of Salt.

[@SnuggeryBuggery]

water, enriched flour, soy, emulsifiers, MSG, and salt. It is basically processed garbage.

[@pedro_thedwarf7985]

It's like a giant meaty ice cream cone

[@M3no0osh]

This is the fake commercial alternative of shawarma.

[@aamirbukhad9092]

"Yeeero"

[@LintEastwood21]

its sad that the New York Times cant even get the pronunciation right.

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

Wish they would make a kosher one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@poopysoap]

You could probably do that out of a prime rib and a lamb.

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

@@poopysoap Yes, ground beef and lamb perfectly acceptable and normal in kosher cooking, but no restaurants seem to do this; conceivable that if desperate enough I could try a DIY version. but I doubt it would be the same! Thanks for the encouraging suggestion!

[@poopysoap]

@@AnonYmous-ry2jn I see a lot more popping up with a kosher menu though. Even kosher hot dogs.

[@NANA3131]

what is so gross about it?

[@BetyarPali]

Looks like pink slime, that's all. Not eating that cr@p.

[@GeoThaDude]

Doesn't seem gross to me. Its like a giant sausage with no casing

[@MAYONNAISEMOOSE]

​@@BetyarPaliits literally organic meat, but grounded

[@FactStorm]

Why can't people pronounce Gyro (Yeero)? Embarrassing..

[@romeoromeo7881]

The meat itself does it contain carbs?????

[@badhonmannaf7352]

barely

[@alexleroy8498]

I’ve ordered from here and it says “cereal” on the ingredients lol, I would imagine whatever that is helps it stick together better

[@jamesm.8240]

And a lot of pink slime this is about around the time that that got exposed.

[@NotPhil1]

no

[@tomynoks]

Apparently, you won't find this in Greece.. lol. Not any traditional Greek restaurant anyway. The gyro is made from thin slices of beef and lamb traditionally and even pork, seasoned and stacked on a vertical rotisserie then sliced as needed once cooked.

[@FreddyTsDruff]

Yup. In Greece we eat pork gyros. It’s pork shoulder cut thinly and pounded and marinated. Then stacked on top of a rod to make a “cone”. There is no beef gyro in Greece and even lamb gyro is pretty rare and uncommon as lamb is expensive. Chicken gyros are becoming more common but the real Greek Gyro is Xoirino aka pork.

[@isafor96]

Thats basically Tacos Al Pastor 😅 ​@@FreddyTsDruff

[@TheRiteHand]

That luncheon meat is not gyros.

[@chefmarcgirard]

That giant blob of meat does not look appetizing.

[@imlamar2011]

Best meat ever

[@witchman1]

Buncha goddam suzys! Wait till you see head cheese made.

[@jeffb8562]

The way you pronounce Gyro let me know that you have no idea what you were talking about. I lived in Chicago and they had some pretty gyro places there. I thought they were good until I went overseas and had one in Malta. They weren’t made out of ground meat. They were made out of actual pieces of meat stacked on top of each other on a skewer. And I mean real neat as in pieces of steak basically And it’s pronounced, heero. Or something close to that

[@RaihanJamil]

It is not pronounced gai-ro. My Greek mates told me it is gee-ro.

[@FactStorm]

Still wrong, your Greek mates don't even know their own culture

[@astershake1162]

It's traditionally been yee-ro if we're talking about pronouncing it right. I work as a greek line cook so I pretty much learn the right way to say everything after almost 2 months of working there. (I'm a teenager, ofc I've been there for a short amount of time. It's really good as work experience on your resume as a teen.)

[@Sarah-wt2zk]

Is this like the spam of greece?

[@PBobs-Lvall]

tf is meat beef lol?

[@eddiedntwrry9833]

That’s just sausage meat

[@beaverc2884]

The narrator could at least pronounce Gryo correctly. 🤬🤬🤬

[@iokua1120]

It’s not giro, it’s yiro.... you don’t say fagilas... savage

[@GeoThaDude]

Nope, I don't pronounce it fahitas either. I pronounce it fajitas.

[@iokua1120]

Darron Hansen that was a pointless share

[@GeoThaDude]

Pointless? I was pointing out that you showed the pronunciations incorrectly. J is used to show a soft G sound while G is used to show the hard G sound. Nobody would say fagitas because nobody thinks a J makes a hard G sound.

[@asaelmuro8238]

But why are you pronouncing it wrong?

[@raulsimms4399]

This is not authentic

[@scottbecker2063]

How are you going to make a video about this and pronounce it wrong.

[@MrStrongmuscle]

They forgot to say, it's also made out of Human meat. Happy Dinning cannibals.

[@diwu16]

Immediately turned off the video after I heard Jai-roooo. Would’ve let it go if it were at least pronounced Geeeroo. Such work ethics nowadays

[@johnbelogiannis1946]

this is not realgyros .It's melted meat

[@qxpsmokeyqxp]

every gyro you have ever had is made like this, i worked in a gyro factory for a couple years

[@tee1up495]

I know I'm late to the party with, but pronounce the f*cking word correctly.

[@tinathompson683]

Flavor is interesting, but as with any meat product, the bones gross me out.
