Another Southern California opening of The Halal Guys from New York! If you've been following me,  you know that I'm a fan of The Halal Guys in Costa Mesa and at their opening in October. With the opening of the 2nd location in Southern California in Long Beach, I was invited to get a sneak peak at this location.  Grand Opening on January 2, 2016! Besides staff training, the media was invited to sample why their lines are so long in NYC. On past trips to NYC, The Halal Guys' cart was always a late night stop. Now, I don't need to travel 2,500 miles.  A platter with everything, including a falafel. Gotta love the famous White Sauce  Choice of gyro (beef), chicken, and falafel. You can choose 1 or 2 items Each platter comes with rice, pita, lettuce & tomatoes and served with their famous white sauce  and red sauce (hot). Fresh-Cut Fries  Get it with sauce! ...

 One of the most anticipated openings in Southern California... The Halal Guys are Here! On Opening Day (October 2, 2015), the line was 4 hours long. I was there on a mid-week afternoon, the wait was about an  hour and a half . Yes, that famous New York City original is now in Southern California!  So, what do you order at the Halal Guys?  Known for their gyros, chicken with rice, and lots and lots of white sauce. See What Jay Eats...  The Halal Classic Platter with chicken & gyro and all of the fixings. One thing I learned from my visit, each ingredient is of the highest quality, each piece of chicken is inspected before cooking, rice is constantly being cooked to ensure quality throughout  the day, and fries are  made to order. By looking at it, you might say, it's so simple, just chicken  and rice in an aluminum container.  But if you don't  do it...
