Marathon Souvlaki – Why are you so good?

If you are thinking of starting a successful restaurant chain, you should probably stop by one of Marathon’s Souvlaki location and take some notes; these people have figured things out. Everything these people have on the menu is a delight from those little round fries to the their special marathon salad dressing and tsatsiki.

Marathon  locations are always packed with all types of people all thinking the same thing:  I hate you Marathon…  because I love you. Why? because every bite of that sandwich is a conscious decision to live with its consequences:  the garlic breath, not to be confused with ”garlic bread”.

So here’s some Marathon related  advice.

1. This is NOT a good place for a first date, unless you are into sometype of  kinky disgusting  garlic fetish
2. Take the marathon salad, its borderline addictive
3. Try the Greek beer, it tastes a little weird, but its good
4. If you go there at night, after clubbing, expect your bedroom to smell like shit the next day, enough to have your roommate/parents/siblings to force you to open the window.

I guess the garlic references can  apply to any greek or  even lebanese  place, but I thought I would give some props to Marathon since they really are the best. And no they are not paying me…  Even if they did, I would take store credit over cash.
