Dimitris being called "Mr Tasty" goes back quite a few years. He used to lead a nomadic existence occupying the site he uses now near the bus terminus only in the summer, and one in the same street as Meraklis in the winter. For some unknown reason the "Mr Tasty" sign was on the building he used in the winter, when almost all the customers were local, and not on the one the tourists visited. Once the heavy duty transparent plastic drop-down screens arrived on Symi, he was able to use the one site all year round. About the same time the Port Police moved offices, giving him an extra regular source of lunchtime customers - it's their nearest eatery. The food is good, the year-round operation means the locals must think it is good too, and the "Mr Tasty" sign is nowhere to be seen.
