You’re going to be hearing a lot in the near future about how The Fat Greek is, by far, the best Greek restaurant in the Vegas Valley, but we at ELV thought you deserved a sneak peek (ahead of our review in the Las Vegas Weekly) at some of the extraordinary food this place is now putting out.

THE FAT GREEK
Eating Las Vegas hesitates to review any Greek restaurants because they never pass his “YiaYia/Popou” test. As in: would the dearly departed John and Pauline Cutsumpas of Danbury, Connecticut (The Official Paternal YiaYia (pronounced: yi-ya, i.e. grandmother) and Popou (pronounced: popou, i.e. grandfather) of ELV) have approved of them?
ELV also has his “thia” (aunt) test, as in: is any of the food at least as good as the food my Greek aunts have fed me in Dunedin, Florida, Tarpon Springs, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Stamford, Connecticut, Bridgeport, Connecticut, Danbury, Connecticut, and Las Vegas, Nevada….for the past fifty years?
Usually, the answer is a resounding “no!” (it’s not even close), but The Fat Greek is better than most.
