Thanks, Gus. I'll have the lasagna special one last time...
Gus is worth a post. A true legend.
“Oh my God!” he says, in a thick Greek accent. “So many people! So many people!”
And he has one last job to do before the doors open: slathering a mixture of melted butter, oregano and garlic onto loaves of bread.
There’s no time left to talk to a visiting reporter on his next-to-last day. Too busy. He points to the closest booth.
“Sit down, sit down — but don’t open the door!”
The lines have been out there since June 2, when the restaurant’s Facebook page told the news: Kostas would be closing on the 10th, “after 41 amazing years in business.”
Its been so busy that Gus ran out of food some days. So he started closing at 4 p.m. instead of the usual 7:30.
