What the creator captured
Ayaküstü Lezzetler braved the intense Kars cold to explore a culinary heritage shaped by Caucasian and Armenian migrations. They were particularly impressed by the collagen-rich 'tırnak paça' soup and the high-quality local meat used in their traditional doner. The creators emphasized that Kars is evolving from a winter sports destination into a world-class gastronomy hub centered on its unique cheeses and livestock.
