This looks like the bones of something wonderful...

Sandwich day, my pleasure. Today we are possessing intense Greek flavors, fresh and bright. I adore the acidity and salty tastes that are encompassed into Greek flavors. I prepared an additional round of chive and garlic grilled flatbreads to envelope the marinated steak, fresh veggies, and luscious tzatziki sauce. Street truck meets Greek cafe...delicious. Anyone would be thrilled to receive this delight.
