We have feta cheese with olives and oregano Over here we have a fava bean mash with onion, olive oil and parsley We got fries with the minced beef, tomato and shaved cheese And meatballs right here Oh

It's a Loukoumades spot Opened since 1912 This is very unique I've never seen Loukoumades made like this Because I've had Loukoumades before in Athens But never like this So they already make the dough into tiny little balls Then they deep fry it with syrup Then when they're ready They let them dry a little bit They sprinkle some cinnamon, sesame and syrup Super cool This is a place that has been running for over a century Okay let's give it a try Buon appetito Absolutely in explosion of sugar and cinnamon Mamma mia Amazing So it's still hot Not piping hot But still hot So by the time you bite into it It completely explodes So the juice, the sugar burns completely all over your mouth The other Loukoumades that I've had Somehow covered with the ice cream or other condiments This one you really can taste the dough, syrup Very elegant And look at this place The tables, the chairs Has been like this ever since they opened Super authentic Doesn't get any better than this Super traditional I absolutely love them A trip to Athens wouldn't be complete Unless you're having a gyro Look at that Beautiful pork gyro With the onion, tzatziki, tomatoes and fries This is a super local spot I just shot just a few clips in the kitchen Or in front of the kitchen Where they grill all sorts of souvlaki, kebabs And there is the massive gyro The stack of meat, pork gyro Mamma mia So inviting The smell is incredible Friendly And I'm starving So actually Shirley got the idea of Why Max we're not going to have gyro We haven't had it yet She was dreaming about it I said you know what
