What the creator captured
Ayaküstü Lezzetler kicked off the new year in Gaziantep by diving into a traditional breakfast of spicy, garlic-heavy beyran at a modest boutique shop. The creator emphasized the importance of the 'crunch' from local peppers and the warmth of fresh bread delivered straight from the oven. He highlighted the meticulous overnight preparation of the meat, noting that the dish serves as a literal 'cure' during the cold winter months.
