    I made this on the rotisserie and it was beautiful. I increased the garlic, added some additional seasonings to suit my tastes and used reduced fat sour cream for the tzatziki instead of yogurt. (Using the sour cream meant I didn't have to drain yogurt for two hours.

    It was even better the next day when I sauteed the meat in a nonstick pan and got that brown & crispy texture on all the slices!

    Thanks to you Alton I no longer have to go out for a great gyro!!

    I have to say that I have been searching for a very long time for a receipe like this. I followed the receipe exactly, except I increased the amount of meat by 2.5lbs and adjusted the seasoning. I marinated for two days and stuck it in the basket of my Showtime rotisserie. Despite what Mr. Brown said, it came out wonderful! Juicy and nicely browned. We all loved it! Also made the tzatziki sauce and a tomato, red onion and feta salad put it in lightly toasted lavash bread. Wow!

    Used the oven instead of a rotisserie, it came out fantastic, tender and juicy meat.

    I've been waiting for a recipe for Gyros for a long time and once again Alton did a great job showing us how to do it. I made one change though - A Gyro from Chicago it actually made from a combination of beef and lamb. I use 1/2 beef (very lean and 1/2 lamb. I had my butcher grind them together. It turned out delicious! The Tzatziki is the best I've tasted - Make it a day ahead of time to reap the full benefit of all of the flavors.

    recipe was easy to follow. I used the
    oven method. It was great. I have also
    used ground turkey mixed with ground
    pork(family member allergic to lamb.
    It also was good. I would highly recommend this recipe. It is good.

    The recipe is foer Doener, not Gyro.

    I don't know why, but what is sold as Gyro in the US is actually Doener, a Turkish recipe.

    It would have been nice if a channel dedicated to food would have done some research first.

    The gyro's tasted great, but although I did exactly as instructed both from watching the TV show and following a printed copy of the recipe, the meat roll fell off the rotisserie stick within the first 10 minutes of cooking. To make it again which I will, I will probably wrap it in cheese cloth to hold it together for the first 10 minutes of cooking.
