Grub Crawl - Lake Mary: Lawless Subs (Closed) and Krazy Greek Kitchen

I went to these places near City Hall today. The idiots at the Sentinel said there was a food truck gathering here on the last Sunday of the month.

Lawless Subs - I had a white hot dog and a roast beef sandwich at this spot where a sweet shop and a cupcake place used to be. They have been open for one week. They have another shop in Altamonte. The dog cost $3 and was great. A Syracuse area dog - Hofmann's (which coincidentally I just saw in Publix for $5 for a pack of 6). The bun was fresh. The dog was more of a weinerwurst (veal/pork). Great snap. The roast beef (they roast the beef themselves) was tender and rare. It came on a "in house" baked sub roll. They have a 7" and a 11". I had a 7" with swiss and their horse radish sauce. You could have filled it with greenery too. The meat volume was way more than you get at any chain sub place. I think it was supposed to cost $5, but, it totaled $5.75. Maybe cheese was extra or I mis-read. They have most kinds of deli meats and they'll put anything on a dog. They also have a spicy one (and a think a regular one). They also have salads and serve a small breakfast. The owner was there and was very cordial. That Deli finally has competition. This place is cheaper and has hot dogs. They have an Atlantic City motif.

Krazy Greek Kitchen - This place is also new and took over the Delano spot. It is an offshoot of Zorba's in Longwood. I was a little disappointed that the Pork Souvlaki pita ($7). It had only had 4 cubes of what seemed like reheated (dry) pork in it. The to go stuff, at least, seems not to be made to order. They also seemed to be a little pushy on the up sell. The place looks the same. They have a pretty large menu of Greek food. The prices seem typically over reaching. I'll never get why they think their level of gastronomy deserves these prices. For example, a 1/2 of a chicken cost $10. I think the supermarket sells a whole chicken for $6. It's just a mechanical roaster. Lake Mary now has two Greek places and two (they opened a Whitewood a few days ago) Mediterranean places. It will be interesting to see if they can all survive.
