The gyro, a beloved street-food staple, has roots tracing back to Greece where it was inspired by the Turkish doner kebab. The name "gyro" comes from the Greek word for "turn," a fitting name given the cooking method: the meat is typically cooked on a vertical rotisserie, turning slowly to ensure even cooking. As the outer layers of meat are roasted to perfection, they are thinly sliced off and served in a warm pita. The gyro made its way to the United States in the 1960s and 70s, quickly gaining popularity, and has since become a fast-food favorite, not just in the States, but around the world. However, the classic Greek gyro uses pork or mutton; the chicken variation we know today is actually a more modern twist on the traditional recipe.
