Monster Gyros Haunt Vernon Hills

Bo Bo’s Fast Diner (which we first read as Boba Fett’s diner - Chewbacca cookies anyone?) in suburban Vernon Hills has unleashed the Monster Gyros plate: 18 oz of beef and lamb gyro meat and Polish sausage with grilled onion, all blanketed in an oozy layer of barbecue and cheddar cheese sauce. Of the concoction writer Irv Leavitt says, “Maybe the union of gyros and Polish sausage just wasn’t meant to be. Like Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts. Or Madonna and … anybody.” Leavitt seems amused and delighted by the Monster Gyros, but doesn’t offer a clear final verdict on the plate. That being said, we hear the Hardee’s Monster Thickburger is jealous. [Pioneer Press]
