What's the buzz on the grub? Article #1; The Olive Branch

 One thing everyone will come to see about me is that I love food. Who doesn't though right? One of my favorites is Greek style food. Here in the state line area it is hard to find good gyros. I am so glad that I found out about The Olive Branch.

   The first thing that drew me towards this food truck is that the owners are 100% Greek. The name is a tribute to the owner's mother, who had an olive farm back in Greece. Also the owner's father was a chef at the Wagon Wheel back in the day also. The Olive Branch is a family owned business. First generation Greek food truck owners, but plan on passing this tradition and culture down. Everytime you go to The Olive Branch you don't know who you may see. The whole family takes part in bringing Greek culture to the state line. Overall the family feel of this food truck is one of a kind.

   Lets of course talk about the food. My go-to is a gyros with fries! You can’t ask for more than that. One of the best gyros is the state line area. The meat and the pita on the gyros is so good. The gyros meat is always moist, juicy, and ripe with flavor. Add on the soft and perfectly cooked pita, your taste buds are in for the time of their lives. The fries are extremely good as well. Nice and crunchy. I love dipping my fries in the gyros sauce. Thinking about it now makes me want to throw on my jacket and go get me one for lunch. My only regret is not trying all the wonderful options they have available. Next time I go, I'm going to have to venture off course and try something new. Overall the food is amazing.

   I am looking forward to getting to know the family behind The Olive Branch more. The Olive Branch is one of those places you can go and have a conversation with the owners and their family. I love that you can ask questions about the food, and get a little background story. Every item has a piece of Greek culture attached to it. That really stands out to me. The best way to describe the overall feel, and food at The Olive Brand is, Go see it for yourself. This food truck is so unique compared to many places here in the state line. Not to many places where you can have amazing Greek style food, learn about the culture, and have the family atmosphere. Don’t just take my word for it, go try it out yourself. Tell them, Oscar from Stateline Buzz sent you.
