When in Chicago, to avoid giving yourself away as a tourist, always pronounce the word correctly. If you are trying to pass yourself off as a Chicago native, dropping the F-Bomb in the same sentence at least twice is a nice touch. Nuns and children below the age of five can usually get by with only using it once.
I'm curious as to why the top of the cylinder of meat is trimmed to make a slight cone shape instead of it remaining an even cylinder shape. Thank you.
The final conical shape is required to facilitate the hand motion of slicing, which is always done at a slight angle, from upper left to lower right (for a right handed person).
thats not gyros we dont use this in greece( thank god )we use chopped pieces of meat stack one atop each other i guess in america you really have a fetish with grounded meat or something oh also we dont use lam most popular is pork but there always have beef and chicken all separate not mixed up
@@poopysoap Yes, ground beef and lamb perfectly acceptable and normal in kosher cooking, but no restaurants seem to do this; conceivable that if desperate enough I could try a DIY version. but I doubt it would be the same! Thanks for the encouraging suggestion!
It's traditionally been yee-ro if we're talking about pronouncing it right. I work as a greek line cook so I pretty much learn the right way to say everything after almost 2 months of working there. (I'm a teenager, ofc I've been there for a short amount of time. It's really good as work experience on your resume as a teen.)
Apparently, you won't find this in Greece.. lol. Not any traditional Greek restaurant anyway. The gyro is made from thin slices of beef and lamb traditionally and even pork, seasoned and stacked on a vertical rotisserie then sliced as needed once cooked.
Yup. In Greece we eat pork gyros. It’s pork shoulder cut thinly and pounded and marinated. Then stacked on top of a rod to make a “cone”. There is no beef gyro in Greece and even lamb gyro is pretty rare and uncommon as lamb is expensive. Chicken gyros are becoming more common but the real Greek Gyro is Xoirino aka pork.
The way you pronounce Gyro let me know that you have no idea what you were talking about. I lived in Chicago and they had some pretty gyro places there. I thought they were good until I went overseas and had one in Malta. They weren’t made out of ground meat. They were made out of actual pieces of meat stacked on top of each other on a skewer. And I mean real neat as in pieces of steak basically And it’s pronounced, heero. Or something close to that
Pointless? I was pointing out that you showed the pronunciations incorrectly. J is used to show a soft G sound while G is used to show the hard G sound. Nobody would say fagitas because nobody thinks a J makes a hard G sound.
great to see a Greek company with such a big potential . amazing presentation .
It's YEER-O, not Jy-ro.. lol.
haha! The report can't even pronounce Gyro right! New York Times really isn't what it used to be!
TRUTH!!!!
I stopped watching after that. I have gone into "Gyro" places owned but, let's just say, not Greeks, and if they say it like that I walk out the door.
Pretty comical - mispronouncing like that

🤣👍
People always call it "gyro" as in "gyroscope" when it's normally pronounced more like "yir-oh"
I just realized I'm over a decade late to the party.
Haha I’m glad I found my people. It was like nails on a chalkboard listing to that!
Ji-ro? 😂😂😂 it’s pronounced “Year-ro”
Tnx, didn't know that
No it’s not always. Check yourself
Wrong. Where it's made in Chicago it is pronounced guy-ro
I thought it was "gear-oh".
@@paxtown71 Wrong - Pronounced Year-ro or Yit-O

They do it to make it look more authentic, but they fail...big time.
The final conical shape is required to facilitate the hand motion of slicing, which is always done at a slight angle, from upper left to lower right (for a right handed person).
so it doesnt look like processed 'pink slime'
@@ChescoYT it’s less slime more chunky paste ^_^
To ship properly & more likely, to have a consistent shape & size to cook evenly
He didn't pronounce gyro correctly. It's "Yee-row"
Um...since when was it pronounced giro. I thought it was yero, and I'm from Chicago. Is it an East Coast thing?
Since May 2019. It switched pronunciation officially for unknown reasons. It’s now pronounced ji-row
Nasty. Real gyros are built from slices of meat, not an emulsified come.
stuff is delicious unfortunately lol
Pure Awesomeness
That guy looked like Captain Kangaroo. LOL
He pronounced it "jy-ro".... He should be fired for that sin alone.
It's "YEE-ROH!"
Gyros are very famous in Chicago like literally almost every local burger joint will have them
You figure the would have learn the right was to say Gyro
Welp... I’m never eating that again.
Didn't need to see that, still love Gyros though XD
thats not gyros
we dont use this in greece( thank god )we use chopped pieces of meat stack one atop each other
i guess in america you really have a fetish with grounded meat or something
oh also we dont use lam
most popular is pork but there always have beef and chicken
all separate not mixed up
we do lamb and chicken here in Australia rarely see pork gyro. Cyprus and Greece only use pork and chicken.
@@alinajustme11 Its the US, what did you expect? Its fake and an insult to real gyros
why do they pronounce it as "gairos"? it's "yeerosh".
The real heroes
its sad that the New York Times cant even get the pronunciation right.
What are the other ingredients is my question?
This is the fake commercial alternative of shawarma.
It's like a giant meaty ice cream cone
sammeee
What are the another “ingredients “?
Salt. Lots of Salt.
water, enriched flour, soy, emulsifiers, MSG, and salt. It is basically processed garbage.
@ez2rmmbr That's the way they look unless they're handmade.
I wish to have a use cone machine, I will want to open a shop in my home country
G is silencent !!!!
Why can't people pronounce Gyro (Yeero)? Embarrassing..
what is so gross about it?
Looks like pink slime, that's all. Not eating that cr@p.
Doesn't seem gross to me. Its like a giant sausage with no casing
@@BetyarPaliits literally organic meat, but grounded
That giant blob of meat does not look appetizing.
Best meat ever
CHI CITY!! 💪🏾💪🏾
Chi city mayne
Wish they would make a kosher one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You could probably do that out of a prime rib and a lamb.
@@poopysoap Yes, ground beef and lamb perfectly acceptable and normal in kosher cooking, but no restaurants seem to do this; conceivable that if desperate enough I could try a DIY version. but I doubt it would be the same! Thanks for the encouraging suggestion!
@@AnonYmous-ry2jn I see a lot more popping up with a kosher menu though. Even kosher hot dogs.
And a lot of pink slime this is about around the time that that got exposed.
"Yeeero"
The meat itself does it contain carbs?????
barely
I’ve ordered from here and it says “cereal” on the ingredients lol, I would imagine whatever that is helps it stick together better
It is not pronounced gai-ro. My Greek mates told me it is gee-ro.
Still wrong, your Greek mates don't even know their own culture

Wonderful pronunciation lmao
That luncheon meat is not gyros.

Buncha goddam suzys! Wait till you see head cheese made.
Hey if you’re gonna make a video on gyro you should probably at least pronounce it right
It’s not giro, it’s yiro.... you don’t say fagilas... savage
Nope, I don't pronounce it fahitas either. I pronounce it fajitas.
Darron Hansen that was a pointless share
Pointless? I was pointing out that you showed the pronunciations incorrectly. J is used to show a soft G sound while G is used to show the hard G sound. Nobody would say fagitas because nobody thinks a J makes a hard G sound.
no
tf is meat beef lol?
Is this like the spam of greece?
The narrator could at least pronounce Gryo correctly. 🤬🤬🤬
How are you going to make a video about this and pronounce it wrong.
But why are you pronouncing it wrong?
They forgot to say, it's also made out of Human meat. Happy Dinning cannibals.
This is not authentic
That’s just sausage meat
this is not realgyros .It's melted meat
every gyro you have ever had is made like this, i worked in a gyro factory for a couple years
I know I'm late to the party with, but pronounce the f*cking word correctly.
Immediately turned off the video after I heard Jai-roooo. Would’ve let it go if it were at least pronounced Geeeroo. Such work ethics nowadays
Flavor is interesting, but as with any meat product, the bones gross me out.
The failling NY times.
