When I was a kid growing up in Sydney, my Greek-Cypriot parents owned a small business on a bustling suburban shopping strip. It was one of those old-style delis that lure you in with the heady aroma of charcuterie and cheese.
Our shop was called Jack’s Delicatessen, but my dad isn’t Jack. He’s Mick, my mum is Chloe, my brother is Sam and my sister is Stephanie.
Somehow, I ended up with Menios, a name fit for a Greek goat herder.
Mum had worked at delis and milk bars since arriving in Australia in the 1970s, so when she bought the business, she knew exactly what it took to make it successful. This wouldn’t be a Cypriot deli or even a Greek one - it would cater to everyone.
