Louks To Go

I've been so anxious to catch up with my blog posts so that I could finally get to this one.

Behold the awesomeness that is Louks To Go.





A little about the day I tried Louks:
First of all, I was dressed up in a blouse, skirt and heels. A skirt and heels, people. Not a good truck chasing outfit at all. I had just taken my 2 year old to the pediatrician's office in the morning so when I finally arrived downtown, I had snot on my shirt and crumbs all over me. Oh and my feet hurt like a biaatch.

When I read on Twitter that Louks was going to be in Downtown, I drove my lazy ass to their corner to stake out a gyro.
They weren't 'doors up' quite yet so I checked out the menu while I waited.


Then nice gentleman filling the ice bin informed me that they wouldn't be open for another 20 minutes. Suck. Luckily, I had spotted Don Chow Tacos down the street and walked my tired feet over there for a little BBQ Pork taco snack. After shooting the shit with the Don Chow guys, I headed back to Louks to order my gyro.

Beef Gyro


I apologize for the quality of the picture. I was trying to get close enough so you could see the fries that they had stuffed in with the other delicious ingredients. I'm totally one of those people that puts chips in my sandwiches, so fries in my gyro were right up my alley! Sounds kind of dirty huh? I assure you, it was not dirty. It was divine.

I wouldn't say the gyro was superior to others I've had...but I'll tell you what rocked my socks.

These.


Honey Feta Fries

Holy Lord Baby Jesus Son of Mary!!!!!! Amazing, Rich, Flavorful. By far one of my favorite items I've had on a truck thus far. My mouth is salivating just thinking of them.

For those of you with a sweet tooth, they also serve these:



Nutella Louks

These are like little funnel cake holes drenched in Nutella. They are good, but I'm not much for sweets. "just co-worker" loves these.

My one critique for the fine folks at Louks is that they should change their Fries & Louks packaging. When we took the Nutella Louks back to the office, we noticed that they had melted the bottom of the plastic container a bit. Kind of gross. But.umm.yeah, we still ate them.

My poor attempt at a photo of the hole.



Louks has become one of my regulars just for those honey feta fries. I may try to replicate them at home. That would work out great during this Lenten season!

  5. When you visit L2G again, I recommend trying the sausage gyro. Their sausage is really yummy - it's got a slight cirtusy flavor that was so good. I think you'd like it.
