What do you think of when you hear someone say “the Mediterranean food?” Granted, the Mediterranean food can mean a lot of things, depending on which country you’re talking about but it does have a few commonalities, like lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy amounts of olive oil, and some savory meats and cheeses, chief among them being lamb and feta cheese. As it turns out, some of the tastiest Mediterranean-inspired food is available on this side of the pond. If the fates are smiling on you, they’ll veer your road trip off to the highways and byways of Alabama, and steer you and yours into Taziki’s Mediterranean Café. A cross between fast food and fast casual, this regional chain satisfies your taste foFr fresh Mediterranean fare, without being dogmatic about it.
For example, if you love Greek gyros, you can totally order one. You won’t find meat on a spit, but you will find sliced lamb, assorted veggies, and lots of feta cheese. If you’re just feeling a bit peckish, try an appetizer, like whipped feta with chips. And naturally, you don’t want to hit the road without trying at least one square of baklava. And if you’re not in Alabama, you can find a Taziki’s in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, to name but a few locations.
