Eat like a king at George's Gyros And Burgers

Colorado Springs Food Guy on my quest for good food leads me to George's Gyros And Burgers located at 3008 S Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO. I ordered a Yorgo’s Gyro with fries. The Gyro was tender and flavorful and bursting with goodness. They hand cut their meat off the vertical broiler when you order. All gyros are served on a 7” fluffy pita bread with their signature homemade tzatziki sauce, onions, and tomatoes. The fries were hot and crispy despite them being frozen from a bag. The fries would even be better if they were fresh cut. The staff was all smiles and super friendly. Elda Esparza and Joanna Montoya told me more about the food and help me with my order. I think this is a great place for lunch or a quick dinner.

Wade’s made The Grade

Colorado Springs Food Guy visited Wade’s Café located at 3504 N. Academy Blvd. Colorado Springs, CO 80917 today for brunch. As you may already know, Wade’s Café has been around since 1953 and it is still a great place for breakfast and lunch. Their pancakes and omelets are what bring you in, but it is the friendly service that makes you come back again and again. I sampled the green chili smothered Breakfast Burrito and it was mouthwatering. The Everything and the Farmer’s omelets were spectacular, so no wonder they are considered to be some of the more popular dishes on the menu. For lunch, you should try the Rueben or the Chicken Fried Steak—simply delicious. So if you are in the mood for some legendary pancakes in a home-style family atmosphere, then come out to Wade’s Café and tell them the Colorado Springs Food Guy sent you.

High-Grade Jamaican Flavor

Colorado Springs Food Guy visited the High Grade Catering & Food Truck for dinner this evening.  This food truck specializes in ethnic Jamaican cuisine. The truck was next to JAK’s Brewing Co located on McLaughlin Rd in Peyton, CO. The food was authentic without a doubt and gave me a true sense of the culture. I sampled the curry lamb, the beef patty, the pork burrito, the ackee with saltfish sandwich, fried macaroni and cheese, and jerk chicken wings. First off, the shredded pork in the pork burrito was slow cooked to perfection, well-seasoned, and tender. The curry lamb tasted like chicken and was simply delicious and succulent and surprisingly not to spicy. Furthermore, the jerk chicken wings were big, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The highlights of my visit were the beef patty and ackee with saltfish sandwich. This is not only because they are staples in Jamaican cuisine, but because the ackee with saltfish tasted like homemade heaven! The beef patty was served up with plenty of spice and the crust was so flaky. The atmosphere was upbeat and customer service was excellent. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Needless to say this place sent my taste buds on a journey and was one of the best food trucks I’ve visited in a long time. If you are in the mood for Jamaican food, try High Grade Food Truck.
