Finally he produces another Bic and whoosh, a column of flame shoots toward the ceiling of the Grecian Inn, lightly toasting the cheese. It's creamy soft inside, crunchy brown outside, tasting of cook pots over open fires. Sure, it has hamburgers and fish fries, spaghetti and frajitas. But it also has one of the most extensive Greek menus in metro Milwaukee. Try finding that anywhere north of Chicago's Greek Town.
Greek dinners come with choice of soup or salad.
The Greek salad, despite its prosaic bed of iceberg lettuce, is an attractively prepared treat with marinated black olives, thick cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots and radish and a hunk of feta cheese, sprinkled with a vinegar and oil dressing. The soup is Greek eggdrop and rice, lemony and thick as porridge, served piping hot. The bread basket is crowned with a white sesame-seed loaf. It is thick and fresh. Forget the butter and soak the pieces with some extra-virgin Greek olive oil from the bottle on each table.
