There was one thing Maria Fotiadis missed most after her restaurant 2Crazy Greeks shifted to a food truck model – getting to mingle with her customers.
The opening of Go Gyro Go in East Ridge means that she gets to do so once more.
“The place in Hixson was drive-through, and you can’t conversate with people or check in and ask how things were,” she said. “I’ve been a waitress for many years, and it is good to chat with customers. This is much nicer.”
She also missed being able to serve French fries and fried eggplant.
Check out here what the restaurant, where “only the pickles are frozen,” has to offer.
