Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did! Let me know what else you'd like to see. I'm thinking about doing some Super Bowl Snacks this week!

[@user-sw7js4jw7v]

Snack snacks snacks! Yes!

[@HannahinL]

Oh I would love to see sth like Bking’s chili cheese nuggets but veganized of course& with selfmade cheese inside ( maybe sth with tapioca?) 🙏🌱

find a way to combine a taco, pizza, and burger, for science 🧪👨‍🔬🔬🌮🍔🍕 perhaps multiple configurations are needed to find the perfect specimen 🧐🔎

[@Mary-eo9pd]

I gotta see some new snacks, I love seeing the cauliflower wings, but I gotta know of some new stuff!

[@thanosv416]

As a Greek I suggest you, to try the same recipe but with oyster mushrooms. It's perfect

[@Smashmallows]

Breakfast of kings!! 🌯 Really like how you explain the steps and talk about alternative ingredients. So helpful! You get the award for best vegan channel!! 💯🏆

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Thank ya!

[@katiaantonova6949]

I was overstimulated from a stressful situation at work and watching this video calmed me down. Not only does this look delicious, but your videos have a relaxing quality to them. Thank you!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Glad I could help and sorry about the stress at work!

[@HannahinL]

Love that! When I am making a kebab I am always using the dried Soja chunks/curls and marinate them over night. Cook them the next day in a pan and at the end add a homemade gyros herb mixture. The kids love it

[@oggouz]

great job! as a greek dude who has lived my whole life in Greece, your tofu gyros looks a lot closer to real Greek gyros than most of the meat based recipes I see online

[@mediafreak5923]

It tastes very traditional too, as far as the seasoning and marinade goes

[@duncangonzalez6145]

seitan works extremely well for this too! texture is super similar to lamb and you can carve it thin without it falling apart on you. i’m sure you could make your own, but gusta makes a perfect one for shawarma / gyros.

[@jocodabest]

Gonna make these this week. Very excited.

[@1000_Yard_Stare_Cat]

Wow dude, your foods are amazing! Keep it up!

[@susiehong2910]

Thank you for your no nonsense in your video. Much appreciated.

[@R.Specktre]

Dude, you rock! Thank you!

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

Wow! I am thoroughly impressed❤

[@k-Chicago]

I absolutely have to make this, it looks fantastic. And those onions look delicious

[@IDontWantThisStupidHandle]

Both versions look incredible!

[@absinthexiii4376]

This looks freaking amazing!

[@PeaProtein22]

Idk if you’ve ever made one of those seitan logs that you roll in foil and then bake, but they are perfect for gyro meat. On a cutting board, place the log so that it’s standing up like a tree trunk and shave downward with a knife. Spin the log and repeat. The texture comes out perfect for gyros.

[@Meccarox]

Omg that sounds amazing.

[@LATOYA666]

This is gonna be my New favorite 😍. I’m definitely stealing this one

[@jonathanw7317]

Going to make these tomorrow. Look amazing. I've made seitan for them before. Excited to try tofu.

[@anitak8056]

Oh this looks yummy ❤

[@user-sw7js4jw7v]

These look awesome! Saving in my vegan recipes list!

[@rini6]

Your videos always make me so hungry! I gotta get the ingredients but this looks worth making.

[@singleblackvegan]

😲wow. Looks great

[@madonna816]

You had me at tofu. Love the Chef John inspired pun, as well, lol.

[@thousandsunnysink]

So good!

[@VeryTastySoup87]

Looks absolutely delicious

[@andrewdetloff8859]

This was so awesome! I'm definitely going to give this a try. And as a Wisconsinite, I'd love to see a version of the Wisconsin Butter Burger (Solly's). Man, I miss those bad boys. Great video!

[@TheLeviathan1887]

Looks so good! And it’s really interesting to hear the pronounciation of gyros and tzatziki from an American. Not saying it’s wrong (I’m German and might be wrong, too) but it’s just so different lol. Keep it up, I love you’re videos!❤

[@alexandragatto]

This looks delicious! Loved the Chef John reference too haha

[@wylanvallotton4462]

thank you!!

[@khinkskhoils7647]

Definitely trying the tofu version. Both versions looked delicious 😋

[@purrangels9585]

Me too !!!

[@Uskotopo]

I just finished making some soy curl gyros as the video dropped. Def gonna try the tofu variety next time

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Nice, yeah I think I'm gonna do a shawarma recipe in the near future with soy curls and mushrooms, maybe tofu on a spit if I can swing it!

[@Uskotopo]

[@afangats]

This looks great. I'm definitely gonna try both versions. I always have tofu in the fridge

[@andreschou9560]

looks very savory!

[@radiokillurr]

I gotta say... This marinade is AMAZING! SALUTE!!!

[@lamemechose7072]

I’m not a raw tomato person, but this looks amazing with some thinly sliced cukes! Especially when tomatoes are out of season or just super expensive, cucumbers add brightness & texture to sandwiches/wraps. Yum!

[@Willowflower]

I think I'll try to make this with the Beyond Steak I have in the freezer. :)

[@naiadolling]

Great minds think alike🤣❤️

[@suzbackstrom]

Yum, yum! One of my favorite flavor profiles. There's a great (but time consuming) recipe for vegan lamb kleftiko on the mouthwatering vegan site that I love using for gyro meat but I'm going to give the tofu a try, thanks! I love the mayo base for the sauce with lemon juice and a bit of water instead of vinegar, dill and more dill, and a bit of minced garlic or garlic powder an a dash of salt. Violife feta to level it up. Oh, and I also need to try your onions! 😊

[@georgeh2095]

Ohhh, heck yeah!

[@justsomegamergril9759]

Another amazing video! Id love to see spaghetti!

[@dmtts1350]

For my Vegan gyro I do marinated pulled oyster, thick chunks, and into the oven, and it is awesome. Well here we also have premade vegan gyro. XD. Definitely the tofu recipe is one I wanna try. Thanks for the video.

[@teresaheenan1673]

Yummy mate 👌

[@suicune2001]

Yum!

[@gustavogomez3286]

the beauty of vegan cooking, tofu looks awesome

[@sophiegees]

This sounds great. Definitely trying it. Wondering if anyone will be able to reproduce the Cyprus sausages ever, but I guess you have to try them in order to know what you would be looking for and wouldn’t that make it into an impossible task? 😢

[@neomarvelbunny]

Believe it or not, i'm walking on air over this recipe.

[@Meccarox]

That tofu looks absolutely fantastic.

[@a_1cincy817]

Nice video!

[@123blooga]

Love chef John and I love your channel!! Excellent joke tribute lol

[@cameronhead3504]

Im gonna have to try this with soy curls

[@TheeBurgerDude]

That would totally work!!

[@isaacingleby8771]

Made this a few months ago and again today, the tofu recipe here really is fantastic, as is everything else!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Alex-ky4cd]

Yum yum yum

[@grapersmcgee7923]

A food truck around where i used to live made gyros with some super juicy and blackened soy curls. bomb

[@ericmenard3439]

Interesting techniques. I'll try the umami ingredients that I don't already have. Personally I've found Soy-Curls perfect for gyros. I use 16 bottles of herbs and spices though. Fenugreek seems a big factor in flavor along with caraway.

[@imdanhoover]

nice!

[@burntpizza8977]

Made this just now, absolutely amazing 😍 used chipotle bbq sauce instead of gravy master 😋

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Nice! That sounds 👍🏼

[@rakiyeaah]

These gyros look delicious!!! I wonder if using store bought seitan and cooking it directly in the pan could work, I'm not brave enough to use the oven in summer 😂😂😂

[@poleiroid]

i think freezing the firm tofu, then thawing it makes the consistency better!

[@JunkJordan]

Congrats on 148,000 subscribers!

[@heliospantazis216]

Where are my greek Vegans at 🙌. This recipe looks amazing, thanks for sharing this!

[@ak0e]

Found out recently that coconut oil (regular, not liquid) works so well as a binder for many things it grabs the flavor profile of your choice and acts almost like a fat and saturates everything perfectly.

[@AllBeingsAreLoveAmen]

i used to get gyros in nyc on the way home from improv class. ha! GESARA!

[@tinyjungle_]

Made this last night and it was really good verging on great. There was one dominant flavor that I wasn't particularly fond of and I'm having a hard time figuring it out. Followed the recipe to a tee using Vegemite and Kitchen Bouquet. I tasted all the ingredients individually and still can't place it. Someone described it as tarragon but I didn't use tarragon obviously. I do feel like it was an herb flavor but when testing them individually I still couldn't place it. I'll figure it out eventually and I want to thank you for making my request. It means a lot. It definitely hit the spot and reminded me of one of my favorites as a meat eater. Greek approved!!!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Oh nuts, sorry about that! Glad you liked it regardless. Only thing I can think of is the marjoram?

[@tinyjungle_]

@@TheeBurgerDude no need to apologize it's a personal preference. Like I said it was very good. Maybe the marjoram takes on a different flavor when cooked. I'll have to experiment and find out. Thanks as always.

[@randomgal269]

Not me reading that as "guy roes" 😂😂😂

[@justins5756]

Not even vegan but love the videos

[@YeonGi_Lover]

Just tried the tofu version with the vegan mayo sauce and all i have to say is THIS. IS. FLIPPING. AWESOME ! If somebody cooked me a shoe sole in this marinate i'd gladly eat it. It's just THIS good. And that tsatsiki is perfection. Man, this recepy changed my life for the better. THANK YOU! 👏👏👏

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Heck yes!! Glad you dig it!! 🥳🥳

[@TheeBurgerDude]

If you have the time and inclination please leave a review on the blog, it’s a new site and it’ll help it out! Thanks!

[@mikaylajbmartin]

ate one yesterday lol! all vegan restaurant just added it to the menu

[@lelalux3]

Can you try to make a vegan Döner Dürüm one day? My vegan German heart would love that!!

[@v-sig2389]

I hate using my hands to mix marinade haha. Even for breading tofu or greens, i use forks or spoons.

[@user-bq2uz1lj8f]

thats a thin slice. yums

[@barbarak1744]

The tofu version for the win,

[@alexandratsankova5825]

i personally am a vegetarian so for Gyros i use TVP and the marinade i use yogurt with basically the spices you listed and some oil. i add a LOT of salt tho. maybe too much but my idea is to only put salt on it and not on the rest of the gyros ingredients. after i've marinated the TVP for a few hours, i put them in the freezer and use them as i go. by cooking them in the air fryer ( on a stove , oven or a grill may also work) and i have a nice meaty thing to add to my dishes every so often for a few weeks (Oh. also- i add boiled water to the TVP before marinating them and squeeze out the excess water before matinading them so that they're not rock hard but also the water doesn't dilute the flavouring)

[@RobinGreatfellow]

Anyone comes at you for vegan meat paste just point them to how hot dogs are made

[@1998tkhri]

Any suggestions for doing this with pre-cooked seitan chunks?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

If the seitan tastes meaty already I’d just use the gyro seasoning minus the salt if the seitan is salty enough as is. 👍🏼

[@zarganaut]

👌👌

[@joesphlebronrolando1069]

Thanks you for the recipe. Can do Vegan Shawarma next please. Maybe Vegan Halloumi Cheese as well. Just asking.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Shawarma will definitely be happening! I want to make some Toum too!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Yep!

[@iheartcolorado9311]

PLEASE open up a Vegan restaurant with locations all over the country. People will flock there!

[@serafimb2319]

At home, i have smoked paprika and smoked salt but i can't seem to find liquid smoke where i live. Is it salty?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

No just very smoky. You could just use more smoked paprika it’ll still be great!

[@joeyq9953]

Greek food 🤤

[@grantmccoy6739]

It looks great, but the crinkle cut fries are a bit out of place. It's OK though. But do gyros usually contain potato? I've actually never had gyros before. I've had falafel though, I've also made them from scratch myself, even the pita pockets.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Fries are common in the US and Greece, the place I used to frequent used crinkle cut fries.

[@p.m.2914]

I bought a bunch of tofu but is not nearly as extra or super firm, what do I do? I think is mid-firm =\

[@mediafreak5923]

Press it for 20 to 30 mins, you'll be fine

[@elliehope266]

I had to go vegan for health reasons and this guy is a freaking life saver in terms of making vegans food super close to the original!! I'm Greek and Italian and these are great for my momma to make during family dinner for me and I'm glad she does lol
