Gyro, an iconic Greek street food, has achieved global recognition by being rated the best wrap in the world by TasteAtlas.
TasteAtlas, an online experiential travel guide, has cataloged traditional food, local ingredients, and authentic restaurants, and has given Gyro the top rating.
The name “gyro” literally means “turn” or “ring” in Greek, referencing the cooking method, where meat is stacked in a cone shape on a tall, vertical rotisserie spit.
The dish is centered around meat—most commonly pork or chicken in Greece, although lamb or veal are popular in other parts of the world—which is stacked and cooked as the spit rotates slowly in front of a heat source.
The chef then uses a long knife to slice thin, crispy, aromatic shavings of the cooked meat.
