What the creator captured
Ayhan Mortepe expressed immense excitement about reuniting with his 'lover,' which he humorously revealed to be the traditional Tokat kebab. He highlighted the dish's unique vertical cooking technique and the use of local seedless eggplants, declaring it the finest form of kebab even from his perspective as someone from Adana. The experience emphasized the 250-year-old heritage and the meticulous 45-minute slow-cooking process over old wood embers.
