Fresh 4 U Mediterranean


Gyro & pesto pasta.


Wingz.

Wedged between the crack of CVS and Mama Fu's, this little Mediterranean joint hangs out like a dingleberry that is barely visible to the naked eye on Peachtree Street. If you keep pulling on that string and squeeze real hard through the corridor... You'll find a cozy little space that pushes out some tasty grub.

Mom? Dad? I'm home! A true mom and pop shop that is sorely needed in this area of festering, gag inducing slop. I mean c'mon... Jimmy John's? Where the workers are wearing Jimmy Hands while handling your meat and waiting on line for the John while you desperately need to pinch a loaf. At least Piedmont hospital is across the street... Hycolonics are half off this month. Thank baby Jesus for this place, they should put a manger out front with a delicious gyro in it.

Lamb Gyro - Pleasant surprise to see an Autodoner with a big hunk of man meat in a skewer... Roasting on an open heat element. Not a bad version, it was tasty but Al's up the street is better. Pita was nice and thin but held together well. Tzatziki gave it that velvety smoothness to aid in swallowing that beast.

Pesto Pasta - Cute little bowtie pastas that weren't over cooked and bathing in oil and spooge like most places. Sun dried tomatoes and pesto paired up well and didn't make this look like a bowl of ectoplasm.

Stuffed Grape Leaves - Most places either do them too mushy or too dry, this place is spot on. Just enough tooth to these little sacks... I wonder if they came from Eunuchs... Someone hold me, I'ma scared.

Hot Wings - Yeah yeah... Wtf? Wingz at a Medi joint? Why the hades not? I'm a sucker for these things and these were nothing to write home about... I shoulda known better. Told them to make it the hottest they can get it... Almost yelled out Thai hot pweez. Fwies were the regular old run of the mill that came in a brown sack. What can brown do for you? Oh, you know...

Kofta and kobab next time... Burp.

Opa!
