/ck/ - Food & Cooking

There used to be one of these in every mall in the midwest down to Texas, but now the only ones left are in Michigan, I think.
When I worked at Foley's department store, at Barton Creek Mall in Austin while in college, there was an Olga's right outside the entrance I worked closest to. The best part of my day was going to get a gyro and an iced tea on my lunch break. I still remember how pillowy soft the pita was and how juicy the meat was. I wonder if they're still any good, or if they completely suck now. That pic really takes me back.

I can actually remember the first time I had hummus. It was at an Olga's Kitchen, that looked much like the one in the pic, at Barton Creek Mall, back in the late 80s or maybe early 90s when I was a wee little kid. I remember thinking it was magically delicious. That was also the first time I had a gyro. I was only maybe 4 or 5 years old, and I totally fell in love with that food. I'm sure it tastes different now, but I'd love to go to an Olga's again just for the nostalgia factor, but they don't have any outlets on the west coast, it's mainly in the Midwest I think.
Anyway, yeah, I remember when hummus was a totally foreign concept for most people here in the US, and you could only get it at middle eastern or Mediterranean restaurants or make it yourself.
Also, I can't stand Sabra. I either make it myself, or order a large container of it from my local Lebanese restaurant.
