Yanni's: Never Fear Char-Grilled Octopus

One of the best things that I've ever put into my adventurous mouth is octopus.  I had never even had it until a few years ago, when my and my fatcake crew went to Yelapa, Mexico to shoot a TV show called, "Stuffed."  We speared octopus straight out of the Pacific and took it into a locals kitchen to cook it up and I guess I was stunned at the result...it was meaty, tender, lemony and tasting like char-grilled ocean (plus took mere moments to cook).  Now, I usually order it anytime I discover it on a menu and I've found that once again, the Greek's do it best.  This time I was out in the 'burbs at Yanni's Restaurant and they had a really spectacular version of octopus....thick and juicy, the way it should be.  The Greek  I was with claimed that he'd had better, but I don't know...for the concrete jungle of Chicago, this was mighty fine stuff.
