He’s a real American gyro.
A star-spangled Long Island diner owner surprised eaters who woke up before 4 a.m. to be part of a special Fourth of July Fox & Friends live shoot on site by paying for every single one of their meals out of an unrivaled love of the USA.
“Our kitchen went through seven cases of eggs – there’s 30 dozen in each case. We fed a few thousand,” Embassy Diner owner Gus Tsiorvas told The Post.
“It’s the most beautiful thing in the world to see so many people gather around for the birth of our country. That’s why we’re the greatest in the world.”
The popular Tsiorvas – he has even addressed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on small-business issues – had the phrase “America’s Most Patriotic Diner” trademarked and printed T-shirts that he often hands out to guests.
“I was always instilled as a little kid – patriotism, patriotism, patriotism,” he said.
“I love this country.”
Tsiorvas has been a firm believer in the American dream ever since his father, Peter, emigrated “from the middle of Greece with absolutely nothing” decades ago.
“If it weren’t for this country, he wouldn’t be where he is,” Tsiorvas said of his dad, who still helps out with the Bethpage diner.
Tsiorvas also runs the restaurant with more of his family, who also work as first responders, and has dedicated the diner as “a safe haven” for police, fire, EMS, and hospital workers.
Former Nassau police officer Craig Kasin said there was no better place to celebrate the holiday as a longtime member of law enforcement.
“If everything was like this, I think the country would be okay,” he said.

Embassy Diner owner.
May his profits be more than McDonalds this year!!
Because no one needs free food more than folks headed to the Hamptons.
I grew up in the neighborhood right behind The Embassy. My daughter was born in the hospital right across the street over fifty years ago. My friends and I spent untold hours there. When my dad would travel my Mom and I walk there for dinner every week. I’m so glad to see that it’s still thriving.
Mamdani is not going to like this.
He better watch his back...The Dems might firebomb his diner or raise his taxes or both...

If this diner is located in Nassau County it’s not even in NYC proper so not in the mayors jurisdiction. Adjacent but beyond his control somewhat.
