<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The word "gyros" comes from the Greek word meaning "to spin" or "to turn". The very name conjures the spin of a gyroscope, which in food terms, evolved over time into the cylinders we now see at our favorite restaurants, set into motion by hydraulic pressure. However, the modern gyro is actually a scion of a long history of meat feasts, dating back to Alexander the Great and his massive armies, known for skewering meat on long, sword-like blades over fires. A recent discovery by Julie Hruby of Dartmouth, showed that the ancient Mycenaen's used portable grills to make a skewered meat called "souvlaki", which served as the culinary backdrop for Homer's "Odyssey". The ancient souvlaki pans were rectangular and made out of ceramic, and were likely used by chefs cooking for the Mycenaen ruling class. While the traditions of the gyro were upheld by Greeks, Arabs, and Turks alike, it wasn't until 1922 that the modern version of the gyro became popularized.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">As hundreds of thousands of refugees poured into Greece from Asia Minor (present day Turkey), the first gyro masters were born, many of whom had Armenian origins. After World War 2, the gyro traveled westward, following the immigration patterns of the Greeks themselves, and shops began popping up all over Europe, the United States, and Australia...popularizing gyros as one of the world's first global fast foods.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1965, George Apostalou opened Parkview Restaurant in Chicago, and soon thereafter, opened a 3,000 square foot gyro plant named 'Central Gyros Wholesale'. Apostalou's success spread the model throughout Chicago, until 1973, when Andres Papantoniou started 'Gyros Inc.', and put the dish on route to Atlanta. As the fame of the meat sandwiches spread, innovations naturally followed suit. A man named John Garlic invented the first assembly-line gyro cones, which put the spiced meats on an vertical, inverted cone rotisserie. This paved the way for companies like Kronos Foods to manufacture the meat on a massive scale. Today, consumers eat more than 300,000 gyros a day...almost 100 million a year!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Tony’s life began as
quite a struggle, growing up poor in Stadio, Greece and not knowing when the
next meal would come. After some help from extended family who had
migrated earlier to America, he was able at 16, to come to the place where the
pavements were lined with gold. Hard work and determination allowed him to
break through stereotypes and language barriers to finally have a business of
his own. He and his brother were proud to purchase Hub’s and work behind that
counter 7 days a week. Later they were able to purchase two more locations
turning them into Hub’s II and III before selling and splitting the business
but there was and still is much accomplishment to be celebrated. Having won
Silver Platter awards, being featured on TWO<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;"><span data-term="goog_978121579" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0">Saturday</span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Night Live Skits “You like it da juice,

<span style="font-size: 13pt;"> Tony’s
dedication shines through all of his achievements but also by just the simple man
behind the counter trying to make sure everyone who comes hungry is every bit
satisfied with their experience and most of all the food. From Greek recipes
passed down by grandmothers, to creative burger specials, BBQ sauces and rib
rubs, soups and chili made daily his aim is to please and for 40 years Tony has
done just that! But it doesn’t stop there. Growing up poor, in a village
surrounded by those in the same position where one couldn’t see the light at
the end of the tunnel, his history left a very large imprint on his heart. Once
his children were old enough to understand, Tony, along with this wife, Ann,
taught their children the importance of giving back. Whether it was a homeless
person who needed a coat and warm soup, a soup kitchen that needed food or a
homeless shelter that needed donations (of any kind) just to get through the
day, the message was clear … “You must give back, you must do something and you
must leave your own imprint.”</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The term <i>plaki</i> (plah-KEE) in Greek is used to describe a dish that is usually cooked with olive oil, tomatoes, and vegetables in the oven. You can serve chicken or soy products “plaki” style, but in this case, we will be using white fish for this particular dish, because it is the healthiest, and boasts the highest amount of Omega 3s. The recipe works well with any firm white fish, including cod, tilapia, halibut, haddock. <br />

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.<br />
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions and the celery until tender, between 3 and 5 minutes, depending on the stove. Add garlic, and saute lightly for a minute or two. Add the diced tomatoes and parsley to the pan. Saute until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, set aside.<br />
Place the fish fillets in a 9 x 11 pyrex. Make a mixture of salt, pepper and oregano in a bowl, and evenly season fish. Cover the fish with a few slices of lemon on each. Top with sauté mixture.<br />
Combine lemon juice and wine in a bowl, and pour evenly over fish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and light douse with olive oil. <br />
Put in the oven for 45 minutes, or until fish is fragrant and flaky.<br />
This dish is really easy to prepare, and ALWAYS impresses. And the wonderful thing about this preparation, is that it can be applied to so many proteins, so it never gets old. It is a great staple recipe to lean. Please let us know what you think if you try this recipe! We hope you and your family/friends enjoy it!</div>

<span>- Combine the coffee with the rum and 3 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and set aside. <br /><br />- Separate the eggs and reserve the yolks in a large bowl. In another clean bowl, whisk the whites until they are stiff. <br /><br />- Add the remaining sugar and marsala to the yolks. Whisk until pale and fluffy, then add the mascarpone and gently stir it in. Fold the whisked whites into the yolk mixture. <br /><br />- Using 2 sponge fingers per glass, dip each one in the coffee mixture, letting it absorb enough of liquid to wet the whole finger without it breaking. Place half a finger at the bottom of a small glass. <br /><br />- Spoon over a tablespoon of the mascarpone cream, then add the other half sponge finger and add another tablespoon of mascarpone cream. Sprinkle over a little cocoa powder and take another soaked sponge finger, break it in two and lay both halves on top, covering with a little more of the cream. Repeat for all glasses. Cover and place in the fridge for no fewer than 8 hours, or until set. </span></div>

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." -Adele Davis</h3>
<div>
This said, the Mediterranean diet has a lot of options for a light-but-satisfying lunch. Our favorite of which is a Greek staple, Fakes...more simply, Lentil Soup. It is really easy to prepare, and makes enough to serve a large family, or to eat throughout the week.</div>
<div>
You will need:</div>
<div>
1/2 Pound of Small Lentils, Rinsed</div>
<div>
5 1/4 Cups of Water</div>
<div>
1 Small Can Tomato Sauce</div>
<div>
1 Medium/Large Onion, Finely Chopped</div>
<div>
1 Cup of Olive Oil</div>
<div>
3 Bay Leaves</div>
<div>
3 Cloves of Garlic, Finely Chopped</div>
<div>
1 Tablespoon Greek Oregano</div>
<div>
Sea Salt</div>
<div>
Pepper</div>
Preparation:<br />
<div>
In a heavy bottomed pot, add bay leaves, oregano onion, and garlic to simmering olive oil. After a minute or two, add water and tomato sauce. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat and add the lentils and oil. Reduce the heat and simmer partially covered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until lentils are done. Remove from the heat, take out the bay leaves, stir in salt and pepper. Adding a dash of olive oil every 15 minutes is a good way to give the soup flavor. Serve with Red Wine Vinegar or Hot Sauce, depending on preference. In addition, warming a little pita bread in the oven (350 degrees for 4 minutes each side), and having feta cheese on the side adds a little traditional flavor. Please enjoy and let us know how it turns out!</div>

Last week, we covered the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet. So, in the coming week(s), we'll be posting a few easy, tasty recipes as a way to help you get started on the path to health and vitality! We hope you enjoy them...and please feel free to send us any comments or suggestions!!!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Breakfast:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Spinach, Feta, Tomato, and Olive Frittata</div>
<div>
(This will serve a family of 5 easily.)</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
You will need:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
1 10oz Bag of Fresh Spinach, Chopped</div>
<div>
3/4 Cup Feta, Crumbled</div>
<div>
5 Vine Tomatoes, Chopped </div>
<div>
1 1/2 Cups Olives (Black or Kalamata depending on preference), Chopped</div>
<div>
1/2 Cup Green Onion, Chopped</div>
<div>
Salt, Pepper and Oregano </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In a separate bowl:</div>
<div>
10 Eggs, Cracked and Whipped</div>
<div>
1/4 Cup of Milk (added/folded into mixed eggs)</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high in a pan. Combine all vegetables in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano to taste.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In a 9x11 glass baking pan, lightly grease the bottom and sides with olive oil. Add egg/milk mixture to pan. With a fork or spoon, add the vegetable mixture into the eggs, stirring slightly to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Add the feta into the egg/vegetable mix by crumbling it evenly over the dish.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Put into the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until fluffy and lightly golden. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes after removing from the oven. Serve with fruit salad and yogurt.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Note: Dietitians and Physicians have recently discovered that eating eggs on a daily basis not only aids in weight loss, it also LOWERS bad cholesterol. Plus, by eating a larger, healthy meal, early in the day, your metabolism starts earlier, and is less likely to crave fatty, salty foods as a replacement later in the day!!!!</div>

Mediterranean is a region known throughout the world for its rare beauty.
With pristine waters, impeccable beaches and mountainous landscapes, it is only
fitting that so much of our modern world seems rooted in its mythology.
The cultures of the Mediterranean are known for the richness of their
traditions, particularly the vast and complex histories which contributed to
the very making of Western society. Yet, in light of all of these varied
pasts, there seems to be a common thread which ties these countries to one
another, and to us: food. </span></div>

looking at a map of the countries which line the shores of the
Mediterranean Sea, one is easily awed by the cultural palate
presented: Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey...the
list goes on and on. And while each geographic region adds its own unique
ingredients and methods of preparation, there are a few staples
essential to the Mediterranean diet, which have come to define not only
the cuisine, but the entire Mediterranean lifestyle. This lifestyle has long
been known as one of good health, enjoyment, and longevity. But it wasn't until
recently that the science behind the Mediterranean diet came to the forefront
of nutrition, particularly in the face of a global health crisis of
widespread heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In March
of 2011, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study begun by Dr.
Ramon Estruch, a Professor of Medicine at the University of Barcelona. In
cooperation with physicians and health experts worldwide, a study of 7,447
individuals was conducted, all of whom were overweight, smoked, had diabetes,
or were shown to be "high risk" candidates. All participants were put
on one of three diets. The results of the study were so clear, that after
5 years, it was considered unethical to continue testing. The
participants who were instructed to follow a "Mediterranean Diet"
saw, across the board, a 30% reduction in the risk factors which
contribute to metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar,
unhealthy cholesterol, abdominal fat). And not only did participants show
phenomenal results, they CONTINUED to eat according to the precepts of the
Mediterranean diet, long after the study was finished. Now the question is: </span></div>

all, the Mediterranean diet is not a "diet". It simply
emphasizes healthier choices, while making food an enjoyable, shared
experience. In simple terms, it emphasizes the following:</span></div>

is not one of sacrifice. It is about moderation. It is about enjoyment...eating
with friends...drinking wine...plenty of exercise (which can include swimming,
walking, dancing, etc.). Anyone reading this list can imagine themselves
swimming on the beach all day, and then going out to a beautiful dinner with
loved ones. The sensory enjoyment is implicit in each point on the list...the
attention to detail, the sense of connection to life and to nature. All of
this lends itself to a more holistic sense of well-being, which
has substantial effects on one's overall health. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Speaking
of health, individuals who followed the Mediterranean diet, showed lower
levels of oxidized LDL (bad cholesterol). By lowering the intake of trans
fats and saturated fats, and substituting them with monounsaturated fats like
nuts and olive oil, LDL was significantly lowered, particularly in
"high risk" individuals. Mono/polyunsaturated fats such
as olive oil and nuts also contain linolenic acid (omega-3s), which
lowers triglycerides, decreases blood clots, decreases the risk of a sudden
heart attack, improves vascular health, and moderates blood pressure. In
addition, extra virgin and virgin olive oil provide the highest protective
plant compounds, providing excellent antioxidant effects. In essence, by
simply substituting organic and natural foods for processed foods, one
receives much greater benefits to their health, without feeling
like they are 'dieting'. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But there
must be a catch...Surely, following this 'natural' diet must be much more
costly...</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Actually
not. The Atlantic recently published an article about Dr. Mary Flynn, who
conducted an experiment with patrons of the Rhode Island Food Bank. She
recruited 83 participants, 63 of whom completed the course. She began by
offering 6 weeks of cooking classes on how to follow a Mediterranean or low-fat
diet, making meals that were primarily non-meat based (as most low-income
households cannot afford it), and could be made in ten to fifteen
minutes. After class, participants were given groceries, with no
additional information, and no instructions on what to buy in the future.
They were then followed for 6 months to watch their eating habits. The results
were staggering. All of the participants who had been instructed how to
follow a Mediterranean diet, made 3+ meals a week which followed the diet, and
naturally eliminated meat, soda, and dessert. Not only that, participants
reported spending half as much on a weekly basis on food, and reliance on food
pantries by program participants dropped from 68 to 54%. Prior to the
cooking classes, 48% were food insecure, meaning they reported having no steady
access to food. After the classes, that number dropped to 33%. In addition,
although this had no direct relationship to the study, half the participants
lost weight. </span></div>

undeniable validity of all of this information and research, it seems only
fair to pass it along. Whether it is for reasons of health or wealth, the
Mediterranean diet, and lifestyle, have something valuable to offer everyone...</span></div>
