Greeks pronounce it "yeer-oss". Pronouncing it "gigh-ross" is actually incorrect. Or Americanized. (But I thought more the "I" word when I heard them mispronounce it.) Glad they picked up the trash. The cams focused on it far too much, and should've closed the loop and shown B/J picking up the trash.

It's definitely "year-os." I think they were playing around because I can't imagine that a trained chef would really call them "ji-rose."

I think we were just commenting on the littering. I'm not sure we were actually complaining!! Not really, anyways!

A lot of people do say ji-rose (I know I have before I knew it was year-ose) but then again I haven't had one in years so I really don't say it...lol I guess that Jason didn't meet the planner since they really didn't have much time to. She hired him while Jason was away and only 4 weeks ahead of time?

Mymmy, I don't eat them either...lol But I love me a good Greek salad, with their yogurt/cucumber dressing. Gotta get a recipe for it. Back to Bethenny & Jason, I can hardly wait for tomorrow night. He really seems to get her, doesn't he?

I just dont like lamb! I watched one of those specials where they show how they make a lamb meatball kinda thing then skewer it and sell it to those that have the machines to cook the gyros (and I cant even begin to tell you how my mom butchers the pronunciation!! LOL)

I can't wait either Blue. I have stayed away from the wedding photos, so it will be all new to me. Good luck finding the recipe. I think their might be a thread here for that.

Bluejax, tzatziki is really easy to make. Strain yogurt (cheesecloth in a strainer over a bowl, covered with plastic wrap) overnight. Stir in finely grated cucumber (that's also been strained and water pressed out), finely chopped garlic, a splash of olive oil. Add salt. Stir. Most gyros made in the States are a combination of beef and lamb. You will rarely find all lamb. Even in Greece, many of the gyros shops use a combination. And gyros are also Turkish, sometimes made with chicken added. ETA: If you want exact measurements for the tzatziki, let me know. I know longer measure and just add for taste and consistency.

Thanks, Costa. Will try it, sans measurements. That's what I love about TVCH, people helping people! Yep, Mummy, I haven't seen any of the wedding photos either. The waiting and anticipation makes it all the better, jmo.

I've used 3 peeled english cucumbers (little/tiny or no seeds) and 2 cups of yogurt (drained like Costa said - both the cukes and the yogurt) 2 cloves of garlic I'll bet there is a youtube video of this!! (there is of everything nowadays isnt there?) tada http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv8BxF_oiuk (she used dill, I've seen it made with mint that is muddled but you can leave that out obviously!)

True Greek tzatziki doesn't have dill in it. That's the Americanized version!

I went to a local Greek restaurant and thought I was so cool for ordering 'year-os' until the Greek waiter didn't know what I was talking about. He said, 'Oh, the GYRO!' Felt like a fool!!

I didn't know it was called "tzatziki", just looked up 'cucumber salad dressing' or 'greek yogurt salad dressing', so maybe that's why I didn't have any luck finding anything that even came close to what I wanted. Thanks all! (Wow, can I hijack a thread, or what? Guess I'm prepping for BB...lol) How is the new family doing? Jason, Bethenny, and Bryn? She's how old now? Were they going to move out of Bethenny's condo?

They did move into "their" place. Bryn is what? Two months old now?

There are gyro carts on almost every corner in NYC and New Yorkers definitely call them ji rose. We have a guy on the corner that has the most amazing hot sauce, yum.

Besides her mom marrying a bunch, what exactly did she do to Bethany or what is wrong with her?

Tex I am waiting to hear more about what Mommy did to Bethy. You know, no matter how hard we try, it's always Mommy's fault. Real or imagined. <bad day, month>

I assume her mom just wasn't there for B. Probably just dumped her at boarding school and went on with her life. Funny the school she went to is down here in FL. I knew it was a private school for rich kids, but I didn't realize it was a boarding school. I also think B had a lot of freedom. I picture her drinking and partying in clubs at a young age ala Paris Hilton. Just a guess.

Great article about B's dad and step father. I am sticking with the fact she had rich parents who didn't have time for her. http://www.horseraceinsider.com/blog.php/John-Pricci/11182009-a-brooklyn-tale/
