Gyro, an iconic Greek street food, has achieved global recognition by being rated the best wrap in the world by TasteAtlas.
Gyro is an online experiential travel guide dedicated to cataloging traditional food, local ingredients, and authentic restaurants.
The name “gyro” literally means “turn” or “ring” in Greek, referencing the cooking method.
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 in a cone shape on a tall, vertical rotisserie spit.
As the spit rotates slowly in front of a heat source, the outer layer of meat is cooked and crisped.
The chef then uses a long knife to slice thin, crispy, aromatic shavings of the cooked meat.
Author's summary: Gyro is the world's top wrap.
