Gyro or falafel?

Neither of those are a “guilty pleasure”!
Maybe Ben & Jerry’s or Haagen-Dazs would be a better question.
Or a choice between two of the lovely ladies often fanticized by many of us here on a daily basis.

Are you watching Diners, Drive in’s, and Dives now? They just had some place who apparently made great falafel. Honestly, I’ve never had falafel, but I would like to try it sometime. I like gyro...
Loukoumades.....now those are a Greek “guilty pleasure”!
Got introduced to those at a local Greekfest a few years ago.....little light pastries about the size of donut holes, flavored with cinnamon and soaked in honey. Really really good!

In my younger ( much) days I lived about 5 blocks from Tom’s Diner. 2 AM gyro omelettes.
Team Gyro. Falafel tends to be hit or miss.
In the Burgh, Rupe’s Roadhouse on Camp Horne Road in the North Hills (Between Rt. 65 and I-279) has very good Gyros. Very comparable to Tom’s in Dormont and Mike & Tony’s on the South Side! The good Gyro joints build the meat stacks from home made marinated meats, not the pressed lamb from Sysco!
When it’s good, it’s really good.
How are these two things even in the same category? A gyro has meat, which obviously makes it far superior.
Good gyro is hard to find. It's typically in pressed loaves of meat in most places, which is the lazy way to do it. Ideally, it should be individua layers of slices of lamb with herbs and spices, pressed down on a vertical pike, and places that make it right (this side of East Jerusalem) are on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn or in Dearborn Michigan. I have relatives in Allentown that claim there are genuine gyro places there, but I have not verified that.
Is like 90% of gyro cones sold in the US from like 1-2 places/recipes? I think Kronos must have a huge market share.
Give me falafel. Gyro stays with me for hours. I had interestingly good falafel at The Press Room in Lancaster a couple times in the past couple years.

A falafel is a side dish to Greek meal? Okay....considering that it's not Greek in the first place.
Maybe your problem begins with eating it as a side. It's not meant for that. It's either a snack or a light main.
I had some good Gyros @ a little place in Barcelona, Spain down by the waterfront.
