Yesterday I found out that Spitz, a local food joint in Eagle Rock, is the creation of two Occidental College alums. One of the guys studied abroad in Spain, where he discovered the delicious doner kebab sold on every corner by street vendors. The doner kebab was brought to Spain by Turkish guest-workers in Germany after WWII, from where it spread through Europe. Upon graduating, he and a friend started this business.As I had been to Turkey 3 years ago, I had tasted the doner before. Spitz's version is healthier and lighter, to cater to Californian taste buds. I had the chicken doner, with sweet potato fries and a root beer. You can choose between the lavash wraps or the focaccia bread, which I got. Will got the beef/lamb and they also have falafel and veggie. Inside are greens with tzaziki sauce and hummus. We thought they could give less fries and more sandwich, but overall, it was yummy!
another thing i remember about will is that he ate the blandest food ever in the dining hall. the one time he ate something savory he exclaimed "omg, my taste buds are exploding!" it was hilarious...
ReplyDeleteHello Edward...
ReplyDeleteMy taste buds were exploding because of the doner kabob. I recommend it, but they could increase size of their sandwich.
spitz is a great little find. my friends swear by it every sunday after church. for some reason for some reason i always thought it was a coffee shop as i drove by.
