Souvla, 1805 Larkspur Landing Cir Suite 14, Larkspur, CA 94939

Fro-yo girl here. Souvla opened in Larkspur on the Marin County Mart on November 6, 2023. The menu seems to be the same as the SF locations: The regular menu includes spit fired all-natural meats (Vande Rose Farms pork shoulder, Freebird free range rotisserie chicken, Thomas Farms lamb) served as a pita sandwich or salad, with a sweet potato option for vegetarians. They also have sides, Greek beverages (including their own wine) and Straus Family Creamery organic Greek frozen yogurt with Greek toppings or plain ($5). Toppings include sour cherry syrup, olive oil & sea salt, baklava crumbles & honey syrup, and Cretan wildflower honey.

* Frozen Greek yogurt with Greek sour cherry syrup ($6). There’s one size and one flavor, plain. So good! Creamy but not heavy, tangy even sour, natural tasting, lightly sweetened. The texture feels airier and fluffier, even more so than the yogurt at other Souvla locations. The sour cherry syrup isn’t that sour but it does enhance the tang of the froyo. The portion is generous to satisfy without being meal-sized.

The shopping center had plenty of parking. The Souvla location also had plenty of seating, though most of it was outdoors. There’s a cute pick up window on the side where they gave me my froyo. Lots of people go there just for the froyo. It’s the only froyo option at the Marin County Mart.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

CHALLENGE: SOME RECIPES THAT MIGHT BE FOUND IN GOTHAM

CLASSIC GOTHAMITE DISHES FOR A BAT HERO LOOKING FOR HOME

If you want some obscure references: Buttermilk with breakfast (Recipe) Mulligatawny Soup The Animated Series "Vendetta" mentions French Onion Soup Steak (end of Kingdom Come) And of course, Cucumber Sandwiches (Classic vs My Fave)

Some stuff I imagine would be favorite things among Gothamites: Lobster Newburg Lumpiang Shanghai Yang Rou Chuan’r or Souvlaki Falafel Dogs (If you don't have boxed falafel mix, this recipe is good!) Arancini White Chicken Chili Beef Patties Chicken Divan with Curry

Or, since Newark NJ is literally Gotham City's inspo in this realm: Jersey Breakfast Dog Ultimate Breakfast Bagel (Best served on an Everything Bagel with Pork Roll) Manhattan Clam Chowder Egg Creams (Ubet syrup forever) And if 21+, Newark Coctail

EasterCon 2023 Con Report - Food and Drink

I do like a good cooked breakfast when I'm on holiday, and the bacon at the Metropole was particularly good.

On the first evening, we strolled around the lake to the World Bar. When we were there at the last Con we were at, the World Bar specialised in obscure and interesting beers from round the world. Now it's switched to 100 different sorts of gin, but I still managed to get a Goose Island IPA, which I've not had for a while, and the food was very nice - we had a cheeseburger and Singapore style noodles.

Sadly, the food truck (or rather, food tents) outside the hotel were not in operation on the Friday evening, but they were so popular when they did open that the souvlaki stall ran out of meat and had to bring in emergency supplies. The souvlaki was excellent (I like Greek food) and we also tried the Korean beef with rice from the other side of the stall, which was also very good.

Apart from that, we lived on ham sandwiches from the hotel sandwich and coffee stall.

We also treated ourselves to some special whisky from the bar. I tend to stick to Scottish whiskies, so had a very nice Laphroaig, while my friend was keen to try a Japanese whisky called Toki, from Suntory, which has a light and delicate flavour compared to the Laphroaig. The following evening he tried the other Japanese whisky on the bar, Chica - also light and delicate, but I think the Toki was more flavoursome. I had the Bowmore.

We also tried the porter from the real ale bar, from Silhill Brewery. I think my friend would have liked it better if it hadn't been labelled as a porter, because he was expecting a certain style of beer, and this was not quite the same, being lighter and a bit more hoppy.

Chicken Souvlaki Pita Recipe: Easy Grilled Greek Sandwiches

New Post has been published on https://eazycamping.net/chicken-souvlaki-pita-recipe-easy-grilled-greek-sandwiches/

Chicken Souvlaki Pita Recipe: Easy Grilled Greek Sandwiches

One of the best things about making camping grill recipes is how fast they cook! With a little prep at home, this Chicken Souvlaki Pita Recipe will have a scrumptious dinner on your camp table in about 30 minutes!

Chicken Souvlaki Pita Recipe by CampingForFoodies

Psst we’re compensated…see our disclosures.

Prep And Make Ahead Sandwiches For Camping

There are three main parts of this recipe that you can make at home, eliminating the time you need to devote to this meal at camp:

Marinate the chicken.

Make the Tzatziki sauce.

Chop a few veggies for toppings.

Doing all of these steps in advance actually makes the sandwich taste even better because the flavors have time to marry!

Methods Of Cooking Grilled Greek Camping Sandwiches

The main difference between a souvlaki and a gyro sandwich has to do with how the meat is cooked. The word souvlaki refers to meat that is cooked on skewers while the meat for gyro sandwiches is cooked on a vertical rotisserie.

The only thing you are cooking in this meal is the chicken which can be grilled many different ways:

For camping grill recipes, you can use a charcoal or propane outdoor grill.

For campfire recipes you can cook right on the rack of a campfire ring, or place a separate campfire grill grate over your campfire coals. You can use a grate that sits on the ground or the type that hangs from a tripod.

For camp stove recipes you can use a cast iron grill pan to cook over a propane camp stove.

You’ll need a “medium” hot grill to cook the pieces of chicken. If you don’t have a thermometer, just use the hand test to achieve the proper grill temperature. Medium heat = 5-6 seconds using the hand test.

Hand Test For Cooking Temperatures

You don’t need a thermometer to determine the temperature of your heat source for cooking. Here’s steps for the “hand test”.

Hold the palm of your hand about 5 inches above the heat source (campfire coals, charcoal briquettes, propane grill etc.) you’re using for cooking. (Make sure nothing is flammable, like clothing or jewelry.)

Pull your hand away from the heat before it hurts and note how many seconds have passed. Example: 5-6 seconds = medium heat.

Heat Level Temperature Range Time High Heat 450-550°F 2-3 seconds Medium Heat 350-450°F 5-6 seconds Low Heat 250-350°F 8-10 seconds

Hand Test For Cooking Temperatures

Grilled Greek Pita Sandwich Campsite Assembly

When you are ready to eat, you’ll just grill the chicken, toast the pitas and assemble the toppings. You can see why this is one of the fastest camping dinner recipes you can make at camp!

You’ll want to serve these chicken gyros immediately. The warm chicken souvlaki pitas contrast nicely with the cold sauce and veggies.

Pairings For Campfire Greek Chicken Pitas

This flavorful chicken dish is a Greek classic and pairs well with a simple Greek salad.

When I want to bulk up the meal, I like to choose one of my camping side dishes that carries the same tastes. One of my favorite things to do is add this Greek Tomato And Feta Pasta Salad to my menu. It has similar flavors, uses simple ingredients and tastes better after the flavors meld together for a day or two so it’s the perfect make-ahead to pair with Greek food.

Try this Dutch Oven Lemon Chicken if you want an easy one-pot dinner. Chicken thighs are seared in olive oil to give the skin a nice crispy texture. Then, the meat is cooked with petite potatoes, lots of garlic, rosemary (fresh herbs are always worth it) onion and lemon slices. This chicken dish would make a Greek restaurant owner proud!

My Middle Eastern Chicken recipe can be described from this reader’s comment:

Carla said: I gotta tell ya…this is my go-to chicken dish when I have company. It is phenomenal. I cook it all day so that the chicken gets nice and sticky. It is great to make the day ahead and even better as left-overs. I had people over for a Middle Eastern feast and they kept going back for seconds (and thirds) of this dish. I know some people are wary of cooking with fruit, but, one of the guys at my dinner absolutely hates fruit in meals. In fact, he was telling us, while he was eating this dish, how much he hates fruit. I waited until he was finished and said, “Weird. Cuz there’s both dates and apricots in that third helping you’re going for.” HAH! Thanks for this recipe – it has a permanent home in my ‘winner’s cookbook.

1/2 lemon juiced

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Homemade Tzatziki Sauce (see * Note)

1/2 small cucumber seeded, peeled, shredded (use box grater)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/8 cup sour cream

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1 small clove garlic minced (Camp Cooking Tip: If the garlic clove is large, only use half of it. This is a raw preparation and the garlic will be strong.)

1 1/2 teaspoon fresh dill weed chopped

1/4 teaspoon Greek seasoning

Dash black pepper to taste

Toppings And Assembly

4 pita wraps we like the pocket style

4 leaves romaine lettuce sliced into ribbons

1/2 red onion diced

2 Roma fresh tomatoes diced

1/2 cup Kalamata olives

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Trim fat off each piece of chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces. (see ** Note)

Combine the marinade and the chicken in a large zip top bag, work out excess air, seal it then toss the bag to coat the chicken (or use a non-reactive large bowl). Then place it in a refrigerator or cooler at least a few hours or overnight (overnight is best).

Make the Tzatziki Sauce by putting the cucumber and salt in a bowl. Let it stand for at least 20 minutes (this will draw out the water.) Squeeze out the excess water so the cucumber is as dry as possible.

Now, mix all of the Tzatziki Sauce ingredients (including the drained cucumber), cover and refrigerate in airtight container until ready to use.

Place chicken skewers on preheated grill over medium heat of a campfire, propane grill or charcoal grill (see *** Note). (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water about 30 minutes prior to grilling so they don’t catch on fire during the grilling process.) The chicken should be grilled until the juices run clear or the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 F degrees. The cook time depends on your altitude and thickness of chicken but it usually takes about 10-20 minutes to finish cooking on skewers.

Warm pita bread by placing it on the grill, about 30 seconds per side to heat pita and provide a little crunch to the fluffy pita bread.

Remove the chicken from the grill (slice it into bite sized pieces if it was cooked in whole pieces.)

Assemble the pitas with your favorite toppings and yogurt sauce, then serve immediately.

*NOTE: Flavors marry here so make this ahead of time. Camp Cooking Tip: You can make the Tzatziki Sauce a day ahead and just keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve. If you want to do this in even less time you can just pick up a nice creamy tzatziki sauce from your local grocery store. **NOTE: Camp Cooking Tip: If you don’t want to deal with skewers you can leave the chicken pieces whole, grill them, then, just cube them after they are fully cooked, about 20-30 minutes. Also, when fire restrictions are in place I use my cast iron grill pan over a propane camp stove to grill meat.  *** Note: If you don’t have a thermometer on your grill, use the “hand test”: hold the palm of your hand about 5 inches above the heat source, pull it away before it hurts, 5-6 seconds = medium heat.

Kalamaki, 344 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles (Hancock Park), CA 90036

Kalamaki Greek LA is a new Greek street food café in Los Angeles that started as a food truck in 2018. A brick & mortar restaurant last September in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. In November 2023, they added Greek froyo to the café (but not to the food truck).

The owner of Kalamaki, Antonios Karagiannakis, is from Crete and he made Greek frozen yogurt when Greek froyo became huge in Greece. Then he was recruited to make Greek fresh and frozen yogurt for Go Greek in Beverly Hills.

Kalamaki specializes in authentic Greek street food made with Greek olive oil, Greek feta, etc. Choose from appetizers, skewers (chicken or pork), falafel, Greek salad, and gyro sandwiches (beef/lamb, beef, chicken or pork gyros). I spotted some housemade baklava.

Greek salad with beef/lamb gyros ($18) served with ½ a warm, thick pita. The Greek salad featured diced cucumbers (bigger pieces), cherry tomato halves, sliced red onions, yellow bell peppers, copious amounts of crumbled Greek feta, salt, pepper, and oregano. It usually comes with olives but I asked for no olives. The salad was mostly tomatoes. I don’t usually love tomato salad but this one was so good – the freshness of the ingredients, the creaminess of the feta, the sharpness of the red onion, the way it was seasoned. Perfection. And the beef/pork gyro was tender but had crisp edges. I didn’t need to use the dressing which was served on the side. The pita wasn’t housemade but the way they grilled it and dusted it with spices took it to another level of yumminess.

I was disappointed that they were cleaning their froyo machines that afternoon, so I couldn’t order froyo (and that’s the reason I made the trek). They were nice but clearly understaffed. The food is clearly cooked with love. Five stars for the salad minus one star for not having froyo.

Order at the counter and get a number. They’ll bring the food to your table. The café’s décor is inspired by Greece so it has blue and white touches, neon signs, hanging floors, and photos of Greece on the wall.

4 out of 5 stars

Female Restaurant Owners in Edmonton Receive Recognition

A vibrant city with a diverse spectrum of gastronomic and cultural traditions, Edmonton. Both in the trendy Whyte Avenue and in Edmonton's core business district, there are a number of restaurants to accommodate a range of tastes and budgets. However, have you ever thought about purchasing your restaurant needs from businesses run by women? The achievements of Edmonton's female restaurant owners in promoting gender equality as well as their contributions to the local economy and community should be commended. In this post, we'll cover the value of supporting these companies, the range of cuisines they provide, how they differ from other restaurants in town, and how to find them. Get your forks ready, and let's dig into some delectable meals.

Why it's important to support businesses run by women

In several industries, including the food industry, women company owners are breaking through barriers and achieving success. By supporting women-owned businesses, the community can indicate how much it values them and help them grow.

You do more than just assist women in business when you choose to do business with a company that has at least 51 percent of its ownership held by women. Women have particular difficulties when starting their own enterprises, such as a lack of funding and support. Making a reservation at one of the restaurants run by women is a straightforward way to support them and give them a chance to flourish.

Additionally, the utilization of ingredients acquired locally and ecologically responsible practices are usually emphasized by these businesses. Making recipes that are healthier or that fit certain diets, such gluten-free or vegan options, is frequently a priority for female chefs.

As many of the restaurant owners bring with them family recipes from various cultural backgrounds, supporting women-owned companies in Edmonton's restaurant sector also contributes to the city's culinary diversity.

French-inspired cuisine produced with local ingredients is served at Café Linnea. They have the best croque-madame and smoked salmon tartine around.

If you're in the mood for something unique, Little Village Food Truck is a great option. Gyros and souvlaki, two traditional Greek street foods, are served along with crisp salads. Langano Skies, on the other hand, serves great Ethiopian cuisine. With injera bread, they offer hot stews.

If you're in need of some comfort food, head down to Dovetail Delicatessen. This family-run deli serves traditional Jewish comfort food including matzo ball soup and pastrami sandwiches.

Many restaurants owned and operated by women offer a wide range of cuisines in Edmonton. Everyone can find something they like, whether it's traditional Greek street food, French bistro fare, or Asian fusion.

6/12-6/16

On Monday I went back to Spandauer Vorstdast so that they could fix my phone at Apple, it took a couple hours and I got my nails done in the meantime at Ohlala Beauty and I got the Essie color Shearling Darling which I love, the girl did a really good job too. I wanted to get a blueberry muffin but they didn’t have them today so I got a bubble waffle which was actually really good and the fro yo in it was okay. Then after work I hung out with Marvin who I met at Kit Kat on Saturday.

On Tuesday I had lunch with Cindy who is a journalist and we went to Fatoush, which was actually quite good. I think I just worked after.

On Wednesday I had to go to Racha’s because I broke my necklace so he fixed it for me. I got a chai from two different places and a scone. Then I went to holzmarket and just sat there for a bit.

On Thursday I went to Friedrichshain. I stopped by Markethalle Neun, which I realized I had been to before. Apparently they have street food thurs starting at like 5pm so I wish I went later. Then I went to Marheinke Market in Friedrichshain which is where I always got my souvlaki pita but this time she wouldn’t give me the chicken one and gave me pork so it wasn’t as good but pretty close and I think the same price!! I walked around and there’s so many cool stores, seriously what the heck did I do when I lived there that I didn’t find any of this stuff?? There’s a ton of thrift shops and paper shops and just really cute. Then I got some ice cream from the corner at the Market while waiting for the bus. At night I went to Dark Matter. It was cool, but not something I would do again. The outside exhibit was nice and I would go again with people but I was really hungry and got kinda bored alone so I left before it ended.

On Friday I had my flight to Vienna at night so I did a bunch of my work earlier. The weather was pretty gloomy but I walked around and went into a few places. I got a chai which SUCKED from Vollkonr-Backerie Hartwich. Maybe I should’ve tried a baked good instead. Then I got a smoothie bowl from Kala which was also not great like it had chunks of frozen coconut milk? I had to pack earlier, but I made myself a sandwich after I got back and then catch my flight which was delayed but I got in and went to bed!
