Roland and Carla Wakim, besides supplying foods to the Whole Food Corporation, decided to open their first (of more to come as franchises) new restaurant offering International food specialties that they already provide to Whole Foods. Barb and I stopped by to sample some of their fare, and were quite happy to be able to enjoy specialty items, usually only found in the Middle East, Greece and other very far away countries, almost right in our own backyard. Wakin’s Gourmet Foods is located at 1707 NW St. Lucie West Blvd, Suite 154 in Port St. Lucie, FL 34986 and their phone: 772-249-0556 Check out Wakim’s on line at: wakimsgourmetfoods.com We are sure you will love this place.

APtravelnews-April 11th– Port St Lucie West, FL.—Barb and I have once again put on our cuisine hats and visited Spiro’s Taverna Greek Restaurant. If there is one dish I enjoy its shish kabob. I’ve had this skewered, either chicken, or marinated pork dish braised for me all over the world! Recently, we have kept our hunger under control in the good old USA. There are so many fabulous places all over the US, and it would take many lifetimes to visit all of these thousands of food emporiums, so why bother traveling anywhere else? Every country in the world’s cuisine is represented healthfully in this country-no more going to Mexico for me, hate spending my nights with stomach miseries!
OK! So we first dove into a flaming Saganaki of cooked golden brown Greek Kasseri cheese doused with brandy and set aflame at the table (see image) coupled with fresh bakes pita bread. Quite delicious and really revved up our appetite (helps not to eat lunch, the day you go for dinner at a Greek Restaurant). A quick lip-wipe and then our shish kabob showed up in the hands of our able and smiling server; Tara. With rice, a dish of tzatziki a creamy delicious condiment that is so Greek and we absolutely face-slapped this marinated, burnt on the edges, grilled meat with a comma of tasty green pepper between each piece on the skewer. Barb and I share everything as we comment on each and every aspect of our review meals for American Press Travel News. So it was with the next dish; a Greek sampler platter replete with Moussaka, pastitsio, & spinach pie. These are authentic and we might as well have been in Athens at a Taverna there, but without the plane, transfers and Russian Roulette accommodations we had it our way in Spiro’s. The owners also have two other Greek food emporiums: Olympic Taverna in Jensen Beach and the Olympic Diner in Palm City. We plan on visiting them when we come back from our farm.
Spiro’s “Live Long Eat Greek”; their motto, is located at 1738 SW Saint LucieWest Blvd. Port St Lucie, FL 772-879-4083 www.spirostaverna.com
Talk about Greek salad! Best in PSL.Tara brings our kabob and Greek platter.
