New Recurring Post: Get Yo' Ass Out Da House !!


Today, We Return to the Florence Greek Festival....




Welcome again, as we introduce a new installment to SC6 - Get Yo' Ass Out Da House.. Yep, it's festival season again, and we here are going to get out and show you everything happening in the Pee Dee , and maybe elsewhere too. We'll see......




Tonight, we took a trip down Cashua Drive to the 26th Annual Florence Greek Festival. You may not know it, but you can't swing a dead cat in Flotown without hitting a Gioldasis or Kampiziones or a Costas.... They are everywhere, but it makes for some pretty good eating. There isn't a ton else to do - they have dancers, games for the kids, but the food more than makes up for it. Gyros, Souvlaki and more Spanakopita than you can shake a Bouzouki at !!



Usually, the festival ends on Saturday, but since it rained so bad on Thursday, they extended the party to Sunday from 11-4, so it's not too late to join in on the fun. Here's the highlights.






Jeannie says Dolmades kick butt !!









Bobby and his empty table.... LOSER !!!!

There isn't a ton to do. Mostly, you get your food, which is excellent, then you sit and eat. After a while, you leave. Like i said, the dancers are about the only entertainment.

Actually, I believe it was the race car driven by that Rydell High Greek Gang, The Tzaziki-Birds. How ya like them apples?

I haven't visited to festival yet, but I know their food is excellent! I used to have a Greek Landlord, who would leave pastries and meals at the bottom of my stairs. Yummy!!

I wished I had a Gyro, but they were serving them outside only. But, you can get a Gyro anytime. I had a landlord that used to leave his laundry on my doorstep... OK, not really.

Mike it's Greek, not Somali, North Korean, Thai, Vietnamese or French.

Octopus isn't that bad unlesss its overcooked or served live.

It's pretty similar to Ukrainian food too, although in the Ukraine, they can't afford to break the plates ! I imagine live octopus might be a bit squiggly on the way down....
