This was really cool to read, thanks for sharing.

I had a similar experience in Greece, where some locals recommended an out of town Gyro shop ("Gyro" is a popular Greek dish, simply put, it's your choice of meat, wrapped or stuffed in a pita, along with ingredients such as tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce).

At a measly 2 euros, it was vastly cheaper than the Gyro shops dotted around the popular hot-spots of the island.

And yet it had been open for a very long time indeed.
