I'm a chef, my speciality is Indian generally. I admire the creativity of chefs from all over the world, and have a passion for food. But when it comes to meat I can truly say the Turkish take it to a whole new level with their various cooking methods. Perhaps one day I can go and learn.

​@@pauldouglas4587 the amount of stuff you have seen only scratches the surface. Chinesse is more of a closed culture. Anatolia has the oldest civilizations in history plus always targeted because of its strategic positioning. Countless cultures added to turkish kitchen, its a huge mix.Even chinesse kitchen oriented stuff is in there because origin of turks are from asia. So it is very hard to go against variety turkish kitchen offers.The reason why its not as well regarded in world is because of bad advertising.

O-My-Goodness!!! So far, this is my favorite episode of this tour!! Each & every restaurant is astronomical no kidding. I'm now convinced that when it comes to preparing lamb, Istanbul is the MVP champions. Me being a meat lover, appreciates every aspect of how the chefs prepares, serves, & execute these fantastic dishes. The chef at the 2nd location is phenomenal on how he caters to his guests ensuring a pleasant experience for all. When it comes to roasting lamb on a spit or underground, Istanbul is the Rolls Royce class in comparison. I'm so amazed with the wood fire ovens & charcoal grills but that underground oven is officially 1st class state-of-the art winner!! The way it's engineered using a pulley crane & zipline is pure innovation handling levels of racks of selected meats is genius. The meatballs looks so delicious & satisfying omgoodness!! Honestly, each restaurant displayed looks astonishing from the first to the last. No way I can be a vegetarian living around so many options of fantastic tender meats. Thanks Mark this was a slam dunk for sure lol!! Happy Father's Day & wishing you safe travels and many blessings always my friend!! Cheers!! 🌶🍖🥩🌯🥗🥛

Anybody noticed that Mark never takes the piece that’s on the side? If there is 1 2 3 he will take 2. If there is 1 2 3 4 he will take 2 or 3. Same goes when something is in one piece, he tries to eat from the middle. At 52:15 he didn’t cut the corner of the knafeh, like the other guy but he cut and ate from the middle.
