Unexpected Feta Cheese
Not yet sold at Trader Joe's
I went to a restaurant last night and liked it so much I decided to use this as a moment to write up a review. Even if you will never be in Coconut Creek, the review is not necessarily for prospective restaurant visitors but rather my readers who are interested in my unique perspective on food.
Ethos Greek in Coconut Creek, FL
People these days care way too much about Grass Fed Beef, Seed Oil Free Foods, and Pasture Raised Eggs
Many restaurants have picked up on this and they’ve adjusted their offerings for better marketing around the trendy terms and leave everything else by the wayside
Tonight, I visited a restaurant and by coincidence came up with my own version of trendy items you should care about when going out to eat:
✅ Freshly Made Tzatziki with Full Fat Greek Yogurt
✅Feta Cheese Imported Direct from Bulgaria
✅ Elite Kalamata Olives
Here’s why:
So many Greek Restaurants use a distributor's base level product for their olives, cheese and tzatziki. It's honestly why so many people hate these 3 items: they've never tried the good stuff. Same issue in Olive Oil…
And for those that say they've tried Tzatziki with Fat Free Greek Yogurt. No, that is not real Tzatziki. Fat Free Greek Yogurt is Gross.
And also one more very, very important thing. I did not ask the server before the fucking meal if they serve these particular items or if they cook with seed oils or whatnot. Yes the videos of this particular action by the seed oil freaks bother me a ton.
Ok I sat down and ate like I typically do.
I took note of how the Feta Cheese Tasted and just kept scooping it with my fork. Wouldn't stop eating it. After a while I realized this was no ordinary feta. There's a reason why I like it so much.

I still haven’t found a restaurant with olive oil this good

At the end of the meal, I just told the server, "this actually was a very quality meal — thank you." I couldn't express my gratitude in tip as I was not the payer of the meal.
Then he dropped the ball on me saying how everything in that restaurant is homemade. Every ingredient cared for.
In fact, he took exception to the feta where they do a direct import from Bulgaria. No reason to be bummed, it's in the top 3 (?) of Feta Cheeses I've ever had at a restaurant.
I am not here to influence you, just sharing my thoughts, especially after seeing all the nonsense that goes around by influencers on social media and by reviewers on Beli.
I am thankful to have visited Ethos Greek, and if you happen to find yourself in Coconut Creek Florida, it is well worth the visit.
Great service, quality food, fresh food.
A Winner
