What the creator captured
Action Bronson visited London to explore the evolution of Thai and Turkish cuisine, expressing deep admiration for the fire-based cooking techniques at Kiln Soho. He was particularly moved by the 'carnal' experience of eating fatty pork chops and mutton, describing the flavors as a beautifully played symphony. The trip culminated in a nostalgic return to Mangal 2, which he considers a sacred place for modern Turkish cooking.
