Heard flashbacks to 2016 are trending,
lets flip that 6…
2019,
2 northern transplants in their 20’s, a craving, head full of dreams, and empty pockets.
This is our origin story.
Both born in the 90’s in central PA, hospitals 45 minutes away from each other, One born in America raised by Americans in the US, the other born in America raised by Greeks in Greece.
In 2001 the Greeks move to America
The “American Dream” was alive and well overseas so with a few suitcases and whole lot of unknowns, leaving behind a crumbling economy, unreasonable level of living and hopes for a better life for their children the Kakaziotis’s fly to Central PA where relatives have already settled.
After 16 years in PA and being convinced by the newcomer a ξένο (My Big Fate Greek Wedding reference, if you know, you know) of 3 years to the family to move south, everyone agreed. House was sold, business closed, a full U-Haul and a few vehicles and the family relocated to Charleston.
From there, we all didn’t know what the next step was. Jobs were maintained but we knew we could do more. We were here, loved it, had no intentions of leaving, but missed the flavors of all the delicious Greek restaurants in the north.
Discovering the need for an authentic Greek gyro spot, An idea was born, funding was secured, and a plan was set forth to introduce Charleston to the Greek food we missed, we love and we indulge in when in Greece,
My Big Fat Greek Trailer is born!
Fast forward 7 years and here we are today. Crazy to think about. We wouldn’t trade a single moment of it for anything else. Through the ups and downs, rained out events, trailer disconnects on 17, global pandemic shutdowns, nothing is guaranteed so Thank you for being a part of our story and journey! Without you, none of this would be possible and we can’t express our gratitude enough.
Σας Ευχαριστούμε, με αγάπη
