What the creator captured
Ayaküstü Lezzetler visited a historic 99-year-old meatball shop in Karamürsel where they were impressed by the single-bite meatballs cooked over oak charcoal. They highlighted the dedication of the owner, Bahattin Abi, who still hand-prepares the meat daily using a traditional family recipe. The creators were particularly surprised by the unique Karamürsel simit dolması, a local specialty they found exceptionally delicious.
