Lots of resturants/ diners claim they're the home of the gyro and/or created it. Where is the TRUE home of the gyro!?!?!?!

The history of gyros poses some unexpected questions. Certainly, the ingredients (lamb, pita bread, grilled vegetables, & seasonings) were known to Ancient peoples of the Middle East.
Food historians generally agree the name "gyro" and the current product are both recent inventions, originating in the New York. According to the New York Times, modern gyros were very popular in the city during the early 1970s. They were marketed as fast food and embraced by diners looking for something different.

I believe it is here in the Middle East. They call them shwarmas here...and they've been around for decades as I understand it.
