What the creator captured
Oğuz Yenihayat returned to Zeytinburnu to revisit Tarihi Merkez Efendi Köftecisi, a spot he has frequented for 25 years since his basketball-playing days. He highly praised the consistency of the köfte, which is still prepared with the same care by a grill master who has been there for three decades. He emphasized that while many similar restaurants exist in the area, Ahmet Usta's original shop remains his definitive choice for authentic flavor.
