Walking in the wee hours of the late night/early morning on the Streets of San Francisco a few years back, my chick at the time and I stumbled in to one of the few establishments that were still open at 2 am. This greek restaurant that was obviously closed, but allowed us to come in as they were putting chairs up on the table and cleaning up for the night. I was drunk, my girlfriend was drunk, and what we didn't know was the whole staff of this humble greek restaurant made up of cousins and uncles were about to join us in inebriation and tear shit up! The guy who let us in happened to be the owner of the restaurant. He sat us down, brought out a plate of curly fries with ranch dressing (that we didn't order), and proceeded to give us a shot of some horrible flavored liquor I'd never had before along with a story. He began to tell us this libation was the source of Greek beauty. This libation was the reason all of the homeless winos in Greece are tanned and look like Olympic sprinters. This potent liqueur was called Fernet...and because of this night, would soon become a staple in my liquor cabinet. Two shots later, my body felt warm and numb. Three shots later, this black liquid I was tossing down my throat became wonderfully delicious! Five shots with him and his family later, a celebration broke out typically only reserved for weddings. Greek music blared, the short order cooks and waitresses started smashing plates and dancing around the shards of sharp porcelain. Old and young were partying and dancing like someone won the lottery! They treated us, two random strangers from out of town, like family they haven't seen in years. Looking for a bite to eat after the club with my hyna turned into one of the funnest nights I've ever had with complete strangers! On the way out I asked him what the celebration was for. With a wink and a smile he answered. ""It's Saturday."
On to the review! As I was walking into Costco, my keen eyes fixated on this lady's shopping cart that contained a thirty seven pound bag of Lay's potato chips with coloring and lettering I've never seen before on a bag of Lay's. I knew I had to find out what this flavor was up close! As I got up close...Greek Tzatziki! As soon as I got in the car I took a picture for my review and ripped into the bag. These are incredible! They taste exactly like that sauce on top of the gyros I get from The Lucky Greek. Onion, cucumber held together with a light tangy almost blue cheesy yogurt flavor. I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so don't let that sway you if you're not either. I happen to know that "gyro flavor" Lay's will be released this summer as part of the Lay's Do Us A Flavor contest. This flavor will be on a kettle chip as part of the contest, but I love the flavor on the wavy ruffled chip I tested. 5 outta 5 on the chip mack scale.
