Gyro Vending

It was a "drunken lark" in 1990 that set Bob Tanner of
Cortland on an 11-year journey. Bob and his friend
Jeff Stosik, a New York City hot dog vendor, were
doing the bar scene in downtown Kent when they decided
to get some post-drinking sustenance. The two stumbled
over to an alley where a man was selling gyros for two
bucks. They each bought one and began chowing down as
they meandered up Franklin Avenue.

"These are horrible!" Bob told Jeff, and they tossed
the barely eaten gyros in a garbage can outside the
Loft.

Jeff suggested Bob fix the problem by starting his
own gyro stand.

Within a month, Bob went to a New Jersey vending-cart
manufacturer, sat down at a computer and designed a
cart. It was built in a week. Bob got a health permit
and peddlers' license and set up shop in front of
Thompson's Drug Store, on the corner of Main and Water
streets.

Gyro Bob was just beginning.
