What the creator captured
Ayaküstü Lezzetler returned to Salim Usta's shop to find that the çiğbörek which cost 5 TL in 2021 has surged to 50 TL by late 2024. The creators were struck by the shopkeeper's explanation of how 200 TL once bought 14kg of meat but now only covers 330g. They expressed a bittersweet nostalgia, balancing the joy of seeing familiar faces with the harsh reality of Turkey's economic inflation.
