There's a place in Dublin called Zaytoon that does the best Doner Kebabs you'll ever taste. The kebabs here really aren’t as good as the ones in the UK/Ireland – dunno why that is.

I just had one down on Macdougal street, and the fresh lamb flavor (not gamey at all) that was sliced slightly crispy straight off the huge wheel, was incredible. Comparing this to a streetmeat gyro is like comparing a Peter Luger steak to a McDonald's hamburger. Worth the trip to the Village, for sure.

No squeam here with the raw meat. Break out the history of hot-dog/ sausage making videos. All hail the Gyros with tzatziki!
