Demo's Greek Food

Two of the things I generally love most about Greek restaurants are their variety and their low prices. Typically, one can pick and choose from a large number of classic Greek delicacies - hummus, baba ganouj, spanakopita, dolmas, etc. - to build a custom plate of delicious and varied food for little money.
Unfortunately, Demo's disappointed on both counts. Although they offer two vegetarian sandwiches - a falafel sandwich and a salad sandwich - I chose the meze plate, which was as close as I could get to the type of plates I have grown accustomed to at other Greek restaurants. The meze plate included spanakopita, tiropita (filo stuffed with feta), dolmas, and kalamata olives. In terms of composition, the plate included too much grease and crunch that was not offset by anything creamy (like hummus or tzatziki sauce, which cost $2.00 extra), so eating it was something of a greasy chore. Moreover, I watched the server get the spanakopita and tiropita out of the freezer after I placed my order. I could reheat frozen spanakopita from the grocery store for less money and an equivalent experience. The food was lackluster and unappealing, and I did not finish my plate (a very rare occurrence for me).
For $8.25 I expect more variety and better flavors than Demo's offered, and it's unlikely that I will return.

Background

No one is paying me to do this. No one has even asked me to do this. I have no qualifications to write a food blog. My knowledge of culinary terminology is noticeably lacking.

But!

I love food. I really. love. food. On my bad days, eating a great meal is often the best part of my day. On my good days, I still take particular relish in my meals.

I am a grad student whose life is pretty damn occupied by work and school (which explains my "On my bad days..." comment), so writing about something I love seems like an excellent choice for a hobby.
I go out to eat every weekend in restaurants around San Antonio (where I currently live) and Austin (my hometown). As a vegetarian, I am always on the lookout for restaurants with excellent and expansive vegetarian options. Even if a restaurant just has one particularly delightful vegetarian dish, I will probably end up a repeat customer.

So yes, this is a vegetarian food blog. However, other than the no-meat restriction, I will try just about anything. I won't limit my reviews to vegetarian-only restaurants or any particular genre of restaurants. I have certain biases and preferences (Indian food - yes! Steakhouses - no!), which will become apparent, but my tastes are pretty broad.

Enjoy. And feel free to educate me about terminology, undiscovered veggie havens, etc.
