      All of you Greek restaurants across Canada who make Gyros and try to pass it off as a Donair TAKE NOTE: the secret is in the “sweet sauce”. And also in the rolling spit of compressed meat. It’s a Maritime province’s thing. The taste is so much different, not to mention better, than a Gyro! I’m a Maritimer by birth now living in Montreal and every time that I go back to New Brunswick, I need my “Greco Donair” fix because Gyros just doesn’t work for me. So glad Joseph Debenedictis put this on the menu.

Can Jason open a PO box in the US for subscribers to send things to the channel? Sending stuff to Canada has a bunch of paperwork and you have to detail every little thing and it costs a lot. If someone from the US mails to another person in the US its not as bad and then he could bring it to Canada next time you get together which I assume you guys will be doing a lot more often to catch up on lost time.

    I love the videos that you guys do. It's like a road trip without having to go on a road trip. Hopefully, when things start to level off, I hope you guys are doing videos more often to catch up for this crazy pandemic.
