100 Hours in Turkey 🇹🇷 Epic TURKISH STREET FOOD Tour in Istanbul & Across Türkiye!

Turkey, over 5 years and multiple trips, has taught me that food here is a way of life. Every region, city and village has its own recipes, its own dish. Their food is a part of their identity.
I’m in Istanbul. Not the capital of Turkey, but certainly one of histories most important cities. Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople is where east meets west. This is where we start the journey but soon we’ll cross the turqiouis waters of the Bosphorus and dive deep into Anatolian Asia.
Of the many foods the Turk’s are proud to call theirs’. There may not be one more symbolic than the Turkish delight.
Welcome to Chopstick Travel I'm Luke Martin and this is a film made using over 100 hours spent filming compiled into an extensive but certainly not exhaustive documentary about the Food in Turkey (Türkiye).

My mission is to create content that is entertaining, informative, honest and fun! I love what I do and I'm always grateful for your support! Thank you and see you on the next episode!

    Yep. and we are proud of that. But that comes with it's negative sides. Turks experience very much high diffucilties on adjusting to another cuisine. simply we don't find it attractive, like it or find it tasty enough. The positive side is almost anywere they'll go they bring their cuisine with themselves.

    Hi Luke, what a great video. I also love Türkiye, especially as my boyfriend is from Türkiye, and I very much look forward to return there in autumn. I am now 1 hour into it, and really look forward to watch more of it. For example: I eat very little meat, and dont eat intestines and head meat and stuff like that. I love manti and yogurt soup with spicy oily mint on it. He absolutely hates those things. So we are quite different in some matters. However, we both love each other a lot, and totally respect that we are from different cultures. And that is wonderful and makes me very happy.
