Goden Gyros – Gyro BLT

Golden Gyros – gyro BLT

Ever wondered what happens when you merge a gyro with a BLT? Wonder no more, just look up. If I’ve got your attention, your next task is to head to Golden Gyros on 9th South. Once there order up the regular BLT, a side of gyro meat and some extra fry sauce. From there you can assemble this absolutely calorie monster of a sandwich. Extra bonus points: the BLT at Golden Gyros comes on a type of thick, Texas toast style bread, which makes for even more texture and taste.

You’ll need to complete this one in the comfort of your own home. You’ll need an order of Gurkha’s biryani and an order of chicken tikka. Next up, cook a couple of eggs in a hot pan with oil until a small omelette forms. Break it up a little an add your biryani, chicken tikka and a few pieces of the onions from the dish too. Cook on high heat and add a little soy. Perfect.

SOMI – extra extra extra wings

SOMI – SOMI wings

Hands down the best chicken wings in town. These beautiful things can be found at Sugar House’s SOMI Vietnamese Bistro and eschew the usual sweet or sticky sauces. Instead they come with a smart balance of Thai basil, garlic, jalapeño and salt. The menu actually has an option for extra additions of each of these. Ask for extra of everything and get ready for a taste like no other.

O’Falafel – Everything Upgrade

The menu at O’Falafel lets you add a little of this, that, and that too. My favorite? Start with the chicken tikka tin – vibrantly colored grilled chicken, that comes on a bed of rice with side salads. From there opt for the extra side of gyro, beef skewer and falafel.
