A large sandwich\sub is literally known as a "hero" sandwich. Why would you try to take that perfection away to go for "gyro" , that is neither pronounced the same, or is a similar sandwich?

You should know, Cole, that everyone loves a pedant.

Plus gyro DOES rhyme with hero

adjust nerd glasses technically speaking...the greek word gyro is pronounced "eeer-o" so its not that far off from "here-o"

.......go google Greek Gyro, then go find your closest Greek restaurant and educate your taste buds. Tust. They will be happy.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love eating them. But the guy threw a hero sandwich.
