Did you know we got MORE messages asking for the Five Shades of Green recipe than we did about the restaurant actually closing 😅

For YEARS people asked us for this recipe, and when we started writing the book, we all agreed on one thing immediately: This HAD to be the first recipe in it!! 

So yes, the official Five Shades recipe is finally in your hands!

Fun fact: there were originally supposed to be way fewer stories in this book 😅

But every time we thought we were done, someone would remember another moment, another regular, another family argument, or another recipe we couldn’t leave out.

Who knew 45 years of restaurant life would be so hard to fit into one book đŸ€­

A lot of this book actually started with old photographs spread across our kitchen table!

Every picture brought up another story, another memory, or some old version of us I hadn’t thought about in years.

Going through all of them reminded me that family stories never really go away. They just wait for someone to tell them đŸ€

“The Greeks of Greenwich”

Written by me, Maria, the youngest Karipides sibling. This book is everything Famous Greek Kitchen was behind the scenes. Not just the restaurant, but the family that built it. The long days, the chaos, the pressure, the laughter, and the kind of love that doesn’t always know how to say itself out loud.

Over the years, so many of you have asked us for our recipes. They are the dishes you grew up on and meals that became part of your own traditions.

Now, they’re yours.

Each chapter tells a piece of our story, followed by a recipe that says a little more about who we are
 or at least how we eat.

This book is our way of keeping it all alive.
In your homes.
In your kitchens.
At your tables.

If FGK was ever a part of your life, even in a small way, this book is for you.

The Greeks Of Greenwich is available NOW on Amazon, linked in our bio.

If you read it, cook from it, or see a piece of your own story in ours, please share it with us. Keep following along with us because we’re so excited for this chapter AND our next 😉

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our story! đŸ€

Hi FGK Family,

After 45 years of food, family, and friendship, it’s time for us to close this chapter of Famous Greek Kitchen.

For decades, this little restaurant wasn’t just a place to eat, it was home. A place where birthdays were celebrated, milestones were toasted, and faces became familiar. We’ve watched families grow up here, and shared countless meals, stories, and laughs around our tables. You’ve become a part of our family, and that’s what made this place so special.

When we had the flood earlier this year, we truly thought we’d be back soon. But as time went on and the repairs stretched further than expected, we found ourselves facing a decision none of us took lightly. After many long talks and a lot of reflection, we decided it was time to close this chapter and officially sell the restaurant.

To everyone who’s ever walked through our doors, thank you. For showing up, for supporting us, for loving us like one of your own. To our staff, past and present, thank you for being the heartbeat of this place. And to our community, you’ve given us a lifetime of memories, and for that, we’ll forever be grateful.

Of course, none of this would’ve been possible without John, who opened the restaurant all those years ago. And none of it would have been the same without Stavros, our head chef, our leader, and truly the soul of FGK. His story in the kitchen is far from finished, and we can’t wait to share what’s next for him.

And while the restaurant itself may be gone, the story of Famous Greek Kitchen is far from over. Something exciting is already in the works, a way to keep our legacy, our recipes, and our memories alive in a new and meaningful way. We can’t say much just yet, but trust us, you’ll want to stay tuned.

So, from our family to yours, thank you for 45 amazing years. You gave us purpose, laughter, and love every single day.

With endless gratitude,
The FGK Family đŸ€

Due to a burst pipe and resulting water damage, we will be closed until further notice. We’re hard at work cleaning up and ensuring everything is back to top-notch condition before we reopen - but it may take some time.

We’ll keep you updated with our progress and share more details as we go. Thank you for your understanding and support! đŸ«¶

Stay tuned, and we’ll be back better than ever.
