George's Famous Gyros

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is George and I currently own and operate George's Famous Gyros in Scottsdale, AZ. I was born and raised in Chicago until the age of ten when my family and I moved to Greece. That was definitely nice for a while but after about a year and a half we decided to move back to the States. We've been here in Arizona for about thirteen years now and consider it to be our second home. Although George's Famous Gyros is the first restaurant I've opened on my own, I have had plenty of experience running restaurants because my family has been in this business for as long as I can remember.The word "Gyro" means "round" in Greek.At George's Famous Gyros, which recently opened at 7620 E. McKellips Road in Scottsdale, it appears to also be a reference to our extremely well-rounded menu.Make no mistake about it, the Gyros are delicious, but you'll also find great Pita Pizzas, Greek salad, Hummus, Baklava and other Greek favorites, plus Italian cuisine including Spaghetti, Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana and Italian Sausage Sandwiches. If you'd like something a little more domestic, Burgers, Hot Dogs and Chicken Wings are also available.Despite the eclectic nature of this restaurant's offerings, the secret to great cooking is to keep it simple. Anything we make is with garlic, bazil, olive oil, mint, parsley, oregano and pepper. Everything is made from scratch. Although the food is made-to-order for maximum freshness, it's served quickly..

My Interests

I enjoy flying, travel, cooking, and just hanging out with old friends.

I'd like to meet:

People who like me.

Music:

In Scottsdale- I have a great playlist that took 3 months to put together, 227 bands and over 500 songs that range from 50's rock to underground hip-hop. I always say, "if you don't like the song that's playing, you're sure to love the next one." In Phoenix, the playlist is all Greek all the time, dad likes to keep it old-school...

Movies:

Not in a while, waiting for the new Indiana Jones to come out.

Television:

TIVO when I have time

Books:

Mostly school books, I have to keep it all fresh. I went to school for aviation and am trying to stay up to date on all the new regulations.

Heroes:

Anyone that can go out there and make something out of nothing….umm my DAD
