One of the restaurants where I regularly at lunch or supper when working was
run by a Greek family. They had a chicken broaster and my co-worker loved
their broasted chicken, as well as their regular specials, like foot long hot
dogs, cheese burgers etc. One hot summer evening I went in there grab a quick
dinner and the family was sitting down to a dinner. They had a platter of
sliced tomatoes, cucumber, onions, feta cheese and olive. Damn. I wish that
had been on their menu.
