Jimmy’s
is the name of a little place in Lisle I like to go, but only maybe once a year.
The reason is, they make gyros.
Not just gyros, but deep fried gyros. Yep, the peel the meat off that doner kebab, and run it through the deep fryer for a couple seconds, just enough to sizzle the edges crisp. And the deep fryer takes on the taint of the gyros meat, so they have two fryers, one for fries only, and the other for everything else.
So about once a year I stop in and get a fried gyros sandwich, with dirty fries. Dirty fries are fries that have been fried with the gyros grease.
They have little pieces of gyros crispy fried stuff sticking to them.
They;’re as crisp themselves as sticks.
I could actually feel my arteries hardening. But once in a while, dammit, it’s worth it.
I live in Elmhurst. Now I must go there. Damn yer eyes!
Yep.
Avoiding everything that’s “bad for you” is a sure path to a miserable existence.
Have good stuff, but only once in a while. Moderation is key to a happy and healthy life :)
Hate to be your family when you come home from that gastronomical feat.
Damn it, that almost makes me want to head north. Almost.
I’ll have to drive down to Trashville & eat a Fat Mo’s Super Deluxe burger as a compensation.
There is a place in North Chicago about a mile from Great Lakes Naval Station called 5 Points. They make a polish sausage smothered in Italian beef and mozzarella cheese with grilled onions and peppers. We called it Heart Attack in a Bun. It was a once a year thing.
LOL @ Broad’s remark. Claude have mercy, that’s all I can say. It IS worth it, Og, it’s all vitamins anyway.
