The gyro sandwich is something I keep wanting to call a /ji-row/ but yet it is pronounced /hero/ and no matter how many times I hear it pronounced the right way I think of gyroscopes and how awesome they are.
You need to go to Hobby Town for the gyroscope but my recomendation today is to go by What About Kabob’s and His Gyro’s and get my favorite sandwich, the Philly Cheese Steak Gyro.
The sandwich is downright good! It just is, enough said! Take my word on this, ok! Now on to the fries…
I love not only the sandwich but the fries…they have a seasoning that is just right and not too salty. There is enough seasoning on them that I refrain from ketchup but that is fine because they are nice and tasty.
If I can give you a comparison regarding the fries I would say that if you go over to that burger restaurant Mooyah you may have noticed that the Mooyah fries are extremely salty and so much so that you may have eaten like two before throwing the rest away.
At Kabob’s the fries have a seasoning that actually makes sense because they put that on those fries because it makes them taste good. You would think all restaurants would follow this formula but yet they don’t.
I know at Kabob’s I will get a good sandwhich and good fries and I can write on the walls with a marker whenever I want. I often read quotes and things written by various friends and aquantances in Tyler on their wall.
Why just the other day I read some graffiti on the big yellow wall by the South Campus First Baptist Church pastor Chris Legg.

When in Tyler you now have a couple more burger places to try out. Jucy’s opened a new more modern looking facility and sells the same good burgers but frozen chicken fingers and milk shakes made from soft serve icecream. Now Smashburger on the other hand has even better hamburgers, really good fries, and their shakes are made with Hagen Daaz icecream.
If I could pick each time for lunch when I am in a hamburger mood where I should go it would be Smashburger everytime.
Why do more local chains like Jucy’s have to resort to buying cheap Sysco foods tasting frozen chicken strips and making shakes out of stuff they give you for free at chinese buffets?
Smashburger offers the quality, consistency, and food choices I demand in a good hamburger place in Tyler TX. It is going to be very hard to out do them.

Tyler TX Portion Control
It is quite possible that the number one cause for the obesity epidemic today has more to do with portion sizes and less to do with what the actual foods are. While it is true that fatty, processed foods are less healthy for us than fresh and natural choices, the problems arise when they are eaten in excess. A simple hamburger from the local Tyler, Texas fast food joint won’t have any lasting detrimental effects on its own. It is when the hamburger is made to be double or triple the normal serving size and consumed in conjunction with the largest side of fries available and a 36 ounce soft drink that people begin to experience weight gain.
Consume these portion sizes every day, several times a day and it won’t be long before you start noticing your clothes are getting a bit snug. Moderation is the key to maintaining a healthy weight. You do not have to dine on lettuce and carrots exclusively, nor should you. A healthy diet is not about deprivation as much as it is about moderation. Learn what a serving size it, how to measure it, and do not allow yourself to consume more than that.
Make the bulk of your Tyler, Texas diet unprocessed, healthy foods in portions appropriate for your body. When you do indulge, do it wisely and do not over indulge. There is no reason you can’t enjoy a fully loaded sundae every once in a while…just make it a small one and don’t make it a daily habit.

Sonic has several locations here in Tyler, Texas, but the one I am going to talk about is on the corner of Rt 64 W and Loop 323. It is directly across from the Super center Wal Mart. Sonic is a fast food type of place, where you can go and order outside. The have carhops who deliver the order directly to your car.
They have a sandy beach area for volleyball and soccer where you can go play anytime with your friends. Good entertainment and completely free. You don’t have to play on the playground equipment or the sandy beach area, you can just sit and enjoy the weather outside, or get the meal and leave if you prefer. The food is good and if you get the items from the dollar menu, they are very reasonable. Their drink selections are even better than the food menu.
There are other locations at 5611 S Broadway Ave., Tyler ; 2501 W Gentry Parkway; or 3210 Troup Highway, Tyler, Texas. If you would like to find out more about Sonic you can go to their website or any of these locations.
Sonic seems to be quite the hang out place during the summer when people like to go hang out or just play. So Sonic is not the best nutritious place to go, but exciting. If you are trying to work out or loose weight, this is not the place you are looking for. On the other hand, they do have some items that are good for you. Once in awhile it’s ok to go eat food that is fried or high in fat. Their burgers are really good and sometimes they have the brown bag special, where you get two for the price of one. Always nice to pay less and get more for your money.
Sonic has some great tater tots with or without chilli, mozzarella sticks, corn dogs, chilli and fries, and so much more. Their blizzards are good or their slushy’s plus their flavored teas. If you want quick and tasty, Sonic is it. If you have not tried Sonic yet, then maybe its time.
