My town needs a Greek-oriented restaurant. We've a selection of Gyros
places and some places offer Greek specialties like Spanokopita, or
(rarelt) Moussaka. Or Avgolemono soup. We have lots of Oriental (Thai,
Chinese, Japanese, and Little Saigon  (Vietnamese). Now we're getting
a rash of Indian places. Be interesting to see which ones survive. Plus
all the real-Mex, Cal-Mem and Tex-Mex joints.

If nothing else, once the eggs are consumed the remiander makes good
leftovers for later.
