Gyros vs. Tacos: Which Restaurant Divided Concept Did You Like Better?

Restaurant Divided

Caught between her bickering fiancé, Neil Vaswani, and her mother, Terry Kipriadis, Vicky Giannakos explained: "My mother. She's stubborn like a bull. Neil is also stubborn like a bull." Terry opened Gyros & Goodies in Washington Township, N.J., three years ago, and Neil supported the venture as a substantial partner. But now that the Greek-focused restaurant is facing a mountain of financial struggles, Neil's convinced the eatery should relaunch with a Mexican concept, while Terry is committed to Mediterranean fare. "The restaurant can't continue like this, and as a family, we can't continue like this," Vicky admitted, just in time for Rocco DiSpirito and a Restaurant Divided transformation to decide the fate of her family's business once and for all.

After sampling made-over menu items and overhauling the interior of the restaurant, Rocco welcomed everyday diners and esteemed restaurateurs alike for dinner at two concepts — the blue-and-white-clad Gyros & Goodies, run by Terry, and The Township Cantina, a bright spot staffed by Neil — in the same space. The future of Terry's business, however, was ultimately in Rocco's hands, as he number crunched profitability estimates and spoke with customers before eventually deeming Terry's Gyros & Goodies more likely to succeed than Neil's Mexican endeavor.

What do you think of Rocco's decision to support a Greek-themed menu in the restaurant and forgo a new beginning with Mexican fare? Do you believe Terry learned enough to guarantee future success at Gyros & Goodies? Cast your vote below to tell FN Dish which restaurant concept you liked better.
