Aka Greek street meat, this is what you will find in all the local grill houses throughout Greece and yes, in every Greek town around the world. Deliciously marinated in classic lemon, olive oil and oregano, this pork souvlaki recipe will bring back memories of your time in the motherland LOL
And just in case you don't like pork??? Feel free to substitute with chicken, beef or lamb.... the marinade works great with all of the above.

RIP my Greek friend, your videos will ensure you will never be forgotten 😢

If ever a guy can literally make you feel like you are his best friend thru a video, this guy does it!

I agree!

Genaro Contaldo but Ken Panagopoulos is also great, just saying. 😁

To be blunt the negative comments are u tube trolls, troublemakers, and competing channel owners. Keep up the great work👍

Ken died 2 years ago

[@dylan-reece]

Rest in Peace Ken.. Im sure going to miss our talks and sharing family History's. You touched many many Lives in the best way possible.

I miss him so much. He had such a bright personality could have easily got his own food network show. He was a beautiful soul.

Wait. With great respect did Ken pass away?????

[@dylan-reece]

@@alicekapolas3210 Yes He did sadly.. I was friends with him on twitter for Years. talked to him every day. then one day he stopped Posting so i reached out and then a family member posted on facebook he had passed away. Im sure going to miss him.

[@Hammertime054]

Im gutted if he did❤️

[@olgabarlow786]

RIP Ken. I will surely miss you videos. Thank you.

Nailed it!. I was stationed on US Air Force Base on Crete for 8 years. I was in Greece last summer for 3 weeks.

[@stevecaranci2463]

I have been taught to use wood cutting boards because the wood has natural enzymes that kill bacteria. Plastic can get cuts in it that hold bacteria even after washing.. But, his pork looks delicious anyway. Can't wait to try it.

[@thetwistedgeek77]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I was born in Athens and adopted at 3 months. My adopted mom's whole side of the family is from Crete and my grandmother had a house in Sissi. They also had Land in Vrahassi with olive trees and I remember my aunt and mom always bringing home those giant metal containers with olive oil in them. We used to go every summer

[@sauron153]

I just wanted you to know that, since my favorite local Greek restaurant just closed recently and I decided to start learning how to cook this stuff on my own, I just tried your recipe and was amazed at how well this came out. Thank you so much for doing this video, and I'll be looking through your library for other great recipes to try!

[@maricrisr.]

I will be making this weekend. Thank you for the recipe!

[@rjb6327]

I was in the Air Force in Greece for almost 3 years back in the 1960s. The souvlaki I used to have and enjoy, was from a little wheeled cart. They were cut much smaller that those made here. The skewers were about 8 inches long. The key is that they are grilled over charcoal. Do not use a gas grill. The souvlaki was then put on to a 6 inch grilled pitta with chopped onlion and tomatoes and a sprinkle of salt. Then cam the magic, when the olive oil and lemon was put right on the prepared souvlaki.. Delicious! I lived on those things.

[@steveharrison4580]

I remember the small place I used to eat at in Glyfada back in the middle 70's called Mackies.....He would serve mine with Tzatziki and pita....I could eat those all day long...........I just loved them....

[@KensGreekTable]

Maki’s May. It be there anymore BUT there are a few other really good places....

[@steveharrison4580]

@@KensGreekTable His place was close to the base, and we could get there and bring it back for dinner pretty quickly. I agree with you about other places. I didn't have any meals that weren't good....I can't think of any Greek food dish that I didn't absolutely love...

[@KensGreekTable]

Hard to have a bad Greek meal Steve....

[@340neptune]

My father was in the army and we were stationed at Hellenikon Air Base near Athens for 3 years. We ate Souvlaki at least 2x a week. My father would bring home what I felt like was a ton on the sticks, and he liked what we called Souvlaki pancakes (on Pita Bread). We ate that food like there was no tomorrow. That was back in 1980-1983. Man what great memories and culture. I loved Easter and the cracking of the eggs.

Thanks, your video reminded me of grilling with my Family & Friends in Italy (I'm in Canada now, and can't go back for Summer holidays - thanks covid!) Your description of your time at the BBQ actually brought some tears to my eyes - that's exactly how I feel when I'm out there! "Happy, sad, mad, or glad", that's where I like to be!

Hey Brandon, thank you for your comment and kind words!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 No biggie at all. Practice makes perfect. But when it comes to pork, better to overlook a bit than undercook IMHO....
