Maria Skilas Jims' Greek Patio co-owner

WILDCAT: So you and your husband own this place, how long have you been on campus?

SKILAS: Just two weeks.

WILDCAT: Well this is a pretty jumping place. I know a bunch of the guys at the Wildcat have a tally going as to how many gyros they eat.

SKILAS: Well, that's good.

WILDCAT: Now, you pronounce it "yee-ro," right?

SKILAS: Yes, "yee-ro."

WILDCAT: Do you get annoyed when people say "Can I have a Îjyro'?"

SKILAS: No, not really. I answer back and say "Would you like a Îyee-ro'" and they're like, "Oh, it's Îyee-ro.'"

WILDCAT: You should get all Soup Nazi-style and be like "No Îyee-ro' for you," if they pronounce it wrong. I think it would be extremely effective.

SKILAS: No.

WILDCAT: It would be funny, I'm telling you. Anyway, do you have a Greek background?

SKILAS: I was born and raised there; so was my husband.

WILDCAT: I imagine that people in Greece walk around feeding each other grapes and wearing togas, and it is so relaxed and beautiful.

SKILAS: Well, you've got it right.

WILDCAT: Nice. Well, then, I don't understand why you live in Arizona.

SKILAS: It's nice.

WILDCAT: If you had to swim in a vat of feta cheese or SPAM, which would you choose?

SKILAS: Feta cheese, because I've grown up on it. That's the way I was raised.

WILDCAT: Would you eat your way out of it?

SKILAS: Probably, but that's a lot of feta.

WILDCAT: Sometimes I think it smells like feet, though.

SKILAS: (Laughs) But it doesn't taste that way.
