[jvilo80]

[kolotripiditsa]

Best restaurant in DC, nothing really comes close to The Greek Deli!!!

After he added the onions he put to hands of a salt and pepper mix. Looks great and easy.

This soup is delicious, but too salty. I watched this again and again and could not find the portion of salt he put it. Is that in the brown powder? Or it might not be the salt but the lemonade who make it feel salty? I'm so curious to find it out.

My theory is that if you put a lot of salt into the food, it's very easy to make it "delicioius", but the real good chef is the one who can make things taste good with little salt and little oil.

@hannaw22 the brown powder was black pepper. he references it when telling how to cut the quantity to make it at home.

I tried to make this soup just now. Mine came out a little too lemony...:(

[misskimmmyyy]

@asianbuzz1 it is egg and LEMON soup, thus the point of the lemon.

[asianbuzz1]

Your soup is delicious....!!! Thank you for sharing!

Good to know, but until I move out of DC I think I'll just pay the $3.50 for the soup & bread made by Kostas himself.

Efharisto poli. If you come to Valencia, Spain I will buy you a glass or two of ouzo. This is one of my favorite Greek dishes (and I like them all).

[Daisytoo]

This was so much fun to watch. What a generous man Kostas is -- I like the little bit of extra everything he added!

[sampreap]

what was that brown powder stuff he put in?

[RyanKelly18]

@sampreap black pepper

Kostas, your lentil soup rocks! Show us how you make it, please.

[The123whitewolf]

Sorry this is not the way u make it .

[booleanbetrayal]

"NEXT IN THE LINE!" is one of the best things you can ever have yelled at you. Kostas runs a well-oiled machine capable of producing some of the very best food in all of DC. If this place were to ever close its doors, I'd seriously consider relocating.

[lmcolet]

Hi Kostas! Why don't you post your lima bean dish recipe...one for us vegetarians! thanks!

[theayatollah]

I'm applying to grad schools in Washington, D.C. currently. My reason is so I can eat at Greek Deli.

Kostas FTW.

[ubermick]

Goddamn, I miss this place!!

[levitd]

Kostas is the man and Greek deli is a national treasure.

[edwardmccann]

I used to work across the street from the Greek Deli. This place has lines 20-30 people long at lunchtime, and it's totally worth it. Everything is very fresh and extremely tasty.

This man is G-D! Hands down, best restaurant in DC.
