From a dog's point of view. About a delicious aromatic gyros sandwich with bright fresh ingredients. The dog sees it up there, calling him, calling him, drawing him closer.
The page is a brief photographic essay on a gyros sandwich that attempts to convey scent through pictures. Arranged so the photographs speak of driving hunger and resistance to taboo, a willingness to break human law to investigate in order to attain satisfaction, but ultimately denial and crushing disappointment, a return to low social position, to hunger and disillusionment.
I made that up. But you have to admit, it is an icebreaker.
You get the idea in a few shots. Three or so pictures of a sandwich getting closer and closer as if descending from heaven, but it is really a dog approaching. You are the dog.
I think that is probably why the Germans like it.
That's the thing that got me. They have oddly been popping up suddenly through Yelp, and that is all I can see. I have no idea what Yelp.de is doing but it is leading German readers to me. I think they like the well-behaved dog. Maybe they like the sandwich. I don't know. It is supposed to be a quiet day around here and this unusual activitah caught my notice. I think it's interesting.

If Chickl were here... he would say something. I'm sure of it.
The Germans call gyros Doner Kebab. It's Turkish actually (see link). Ask a Turk, and he or she will tell you that the Greeks stole it from them, just like Cyprus and Helen of Troy.
Anyways, the concept is the same. I once lived on Doner kebab and beer for an entire week in Berlin. Fun times.
I love gyros. But I can't stand the white sauce. So I always make a point of no sauce no sauce when I order. And I always get a startled look from the counter guy. No one understands my preferences!!!
If you push one north, it moves west, if they're like the gyros I know.
I actually ordered a gyro at a Greek food stand at a street fair using the Greek pronunciation. The pimple faced clerk said, “Did you mean a jyroe?”
