Only in NYC--A Greek Moveable Feast

Wherever we venture in NYC, we often see interesting if not unique sights.

The other day, we spotted Uncle Gussy's food truck (photo below).  The truck featured an image of a Greek island and a logo with the Acropolis.

Greg was hungry (Greg is always hungry).  So, with dreams of gyros and dolmathakia dancing in his head, Greg ran after the truck.  He yelled and barked.  Unfortunately, Uncle Gussy outpaced Greg.  (Not to worry.  There was a happy ending.  We ate Chinese instead.)

A little known fact about the current food truck fad.  While the fad is new, food trucks are not.  In fact, it turns out that Uncle Gussy's mobile food wagon has been around for a very, long time.  Gussy's ancestors traveled with and served the Greek armies at the Battles of Marathon ad Themopylae.  If you want sustenance and strength for battle or running 26 miles to deliver news of victory, then Gussy's is the place to eat.
