Earlier in my life I traveled through Greece and as much as I brought back an appreciation for the sights and the history, I brought back a lifelong love of the food.
I've yet however to find a place in Louisville that serves good authentic Greek food.
My latest attempt was at It's All GreeK To Me on Frankfort Ave. Let me forward a quip, Greek food is all Greek to the staff at IAGTM.
It was a cold day last week when I ordered and only after paying was I told that there is no indoor seating, the tables and chairs had convinced me otherwise. So I waited, went outside, and sat at one of the three available sidewalk tables. The food was brought to me in plastic deli containers which had been melted by being placed in the microwave (microwave, really!) for too long. So, I got past that and noticed that no silverware had been brought with my order. I asked the more than somewhat unpleasant man who had brought me my food, a hulking bald fellow who was proud to claim his Greek descent, who had little to say and probably couldn't have cracked a smile had Zeus himself commanded it, for some silverware and he told me flatly that there was some inside. No offer followed from him to retrieve said silverware for me so I got up, left my food, went inside and picked up, big surprise, a plastic fork.
As for my food, the gyro had so much sauce, with so much garlic, that even though I had quite an appetite, I couldn't finish it. The bean soup was, all soup, few beans, and seemed to have no sort of seasoning at all.
I left, sorry that I had wasted my effort and still wondering where in Louisville I might find my beloved Greek food. Anyone care to offer any suggestions?
