I was walking through a local farmer’s market a few months ago and noticed a tent set up serving Mediterranean food. They were the last tent in what felt like a mile-long row of vendors, yet the smells of their food served as a welcoming fragrance that lured me over.

Chickpea and quinoa salad, fresh hummus, dolma, the list goes on. Fresh, wholesome ingredients, just the way I like it. Of course, despite the fact that I’d had breakfast less than two hours prior and didn’t really have an appetite, I had to order something.

Falafel. My first falafel experience. Yes, I waited 23 years to try falafel. Sue me.

I ordered, paid for my food, sat on a bench near the tent and patiently waited for my lunch. When my name was called, I couldn’t have lifted myself up fast enough. I scurried up to meet the woman who hand-made every dish. She handed me a warm, foil-wrapped gyro.

I unfolded said gyro, and got to work. Instantly, a love story was rendered. Falafel became my homeboy.

Now, here I am, almost a year later, making my own. And let me tell you, I don’t have to rely on the bi-weekly Saturday farmer’s market anymore.
