Pairing Gyros correctly — a note on cold Fix lager
Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Gyros. I ordered it with cold Fix lager and the cleanly savoury elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. feta cheese in particular became more prominent in a good way.
Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for millennia. The a taverna by the Aegean sea is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Gyros with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
