Last weekend I hosted an al fresco/outdoor Greek Supper Club for the meat lovers out there. Inspired by the Hasapotavernes (butcher/meat tavernas) in Greece. None of this could have been possible without the kindness of Tony Barkas, who allowed me to use one of his rotisseries. The main event for this dinner was Kontosouvli and this BBQ delivered! RotisserieBBQs.ca, a Canadian company owned/operated by Greeks.

Wine and spirits were poured by Kolonaki Group and Ioli and Souroti water donated for the tables.

Nisos Importing is providing extra-virgin Cretan olive for all the dishes plus many other specialty Greek products imported from Greece.
