Steve Ortiz loads a tray of Athenian chicken into the oven Friday in the basement of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Lewiston. “Great Greek name, isn’t it? I’m just a Greek-a-Rican; the real cook is the one who made it,” Ortiz said as he nodded to Rose Grimanis, back left, who was making Greek dishes for the annual Lewiston-Auburn Greek Festival at 155 Hogan Road. The two-day festival continues Saturday from 11 a.m.–8 p.m.  Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
