Me too. We were loyal customers. We started eating there when they opened in the Bluebonnet space where Nino's is now. I remember the grand opening in the place they built on Perkins that is now LL. Dale Brown gave a speech! The Economides brothers seemed to be nice people. I used to party after hours with some of the crazy Greek guys that worked there. I was young then. Those guys could drink vodka like there was no tomorrow.
Interesting.
Why did they ever close?

per Wiki
Offal = liver, heart, lungs, spleen, kidney and fat
I don't know about this.
I've never had it with Offal. Just use chicken broth.

ut, I knew the details at one time but I have forgotten them. They moved from the new place on Perkins to Laurel Lea and it was downhill from there. I think they spent too much $ building the Perkins place and they were under capitalized. Vacillio (sp?) ran the restaurant and the other owner, George, was an engineer. I think one of them got divorced and the divorce cost them a lot of capital, which was a major reason for the downfall of Zorba's and their wonderful avgolemono soup.

Butternut Squash Soup
Ingredients
1 (2 to 3 pound) butternut squash, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 can Evaporated Skim Milk
Nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Cut squash into 1-inch chunks. In large pot melt butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add squash and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until squash is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove squash chunks with slotted spoon and place in a blender and puree. Return blended squash to pot. Stir and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add Evap Skim Milk. Serve.
I also add some cayenne, just a small amout
best way to get out the butternut squash is cut the stem off from the bulb, then cut stems in half. Place in a microwave safe dish, add water to dish (halfway). Microwave for about 7 min. Squash should scoop right out after that.
It's way better than trying to mess with a raw butternut squash. You can also buy the puree in the frozen food section.
