are you sh!tting me? east side pockets sucks! they’re such a sad excuse for “middle-eastern” food. i guess for a locale like thayer st where most of the clientele are drunk college students, this could be acceptable for good food. and esquire mag is not exactly gourmet magazine. for some reason, this post made me really sad

Well if its not American I don’t want anything to do with it. That was a joke. My only point was that if Esquire is going to make a point of saying “..finest meals on sliced bread” and then put non-sliced bread sandwiches on their list then Esquire is kind of silly.

So let me reiterate my points: Esquire makes silly lists, East Side pockets makes good food.

Pita is a sandwich…just not a traditional sandwich - “with one or more slices of bread…between each pair” A pita is one piece of bread wrapped around filling - its a sandwich, just not American…that doesn’t make it void…

I beg to differ Tim….

“Gyros or gyro (pronounced /ˈjɪəroʊ/ or /ˈdʒaɪroʊ/, Greek: γύρος “turn”) is a Greek fast food; it is a kind of meat roasted on a vertical rotisserie. By extension, gyros may refer to the pita sandwich it is often served in, with various salads and sauces. The most common fillings are tomato, onions, french fries and tzatziki sauce. Sometimes the name is applied to the form of the sandwich (pita wrapped around filling) rather than to the filling itself, and sometimes the name “souvlaki” is applied to the sandwich.”

I’m down with East Side, they make good lentil soup, but a Gyro isn’t a sandwich. If Esquire is going to make point of saying, “…finest meals on sliced bread” then how can they put something that is wrapped in a single piece of non-sliced bread on their list. Come on! A gyro/wrap/pocket isn’t a sandwhich. Neither is a burrito.

Seriously? The meat for the “gyro” comes frozen…this place is good - but, definately not “the best” - or authentic…just cheap, convenient and relatively satisfying….
