Freshman Maria Grafas’s traditions originate from Greece. As a result of helping prepare and cook meals at her grandparents’ restaurant, Grafas feels it gives her a chance for full immersion into her own native culture. One of Grafas’ favorite traditional Greek meals is the gyro, in which thinly-sliced meats (usually lamb or pork), tzatziki and onions are sandwiched between pita bread. Accompanying the gyro are lemon potatoes, a lemon soup and baklava.
