Pharaoh’s Legacy

I ordered the Lamb Gyro Pita with a Greek Salad. The Greek Salad had a couple of Kalamata olives, some Feta cheese, onion, tomato and a bunch of greenery. The lamb was tender and along with diced tomato & onion was tzatziki sauce. The hummus seemed to be overpriced so I chose the Greek Salad, but would have probably preferred the hummus as most of the veggies sans the greenery were in the Gyro Pita. Good flavors.

I asked my waitress if Leonnie still worked as a waitress, but she said Leonnie had gone elsewhere.

NOTE [ 10/20/23 ]: I’ve rethought my ordering the Greek Salad with the Lamb Gyro sandwich. I definitely like the tanginess of the vinegar dressing, and the exceptionally flavored Kalamata olives in the salad. The Gyro doesn’t have that vinegar dressing, nor the olives, so those two items, done well, work really well with the sandwich… and today, they worked really well! *This is one of those meals that is really pleasing to eat. A “This is the One” Margherita Pizza from “Sticks -n- Stones” Pizza in Greensboro, NC is another one of those distinctive dining pleasures. Well worth the two hours, one way, trip from Fayetteville and Greensboro. The country ham breakfast at Helen’s Kitchen is good, but it doesn’t quite rise to the level of the two meals listed above.

My Zucchini, Kielbasa & Shrimp dish, at home, is consistently good, and can hang with the two best meals above. The spicy heat, and distinctive flavors of the items make this a favorite of mine. And, when I do my Pastrami Reubens (Rachels) at home, with the homemade Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut, toasted buttery, Seeded Rye bread & melted Swiss, and add the spicy ice cold dill pickle and wavy salty potato chips, hmmm… that’s good eating also.

You know, something so simple as a waffle, with margarine, sugar free syrup, some Agave Nectar and microwaved bacon is very satisfying for breakfast.

A few months ago Pharaoh’s Legacy had a fire and they completely gutted the place and have since rebuilt and reopened the restaurant. I’ve eaten there once since the fire.
