    tip from a local: if a restaurant offers both kebabs and pide and döner and dessert, you'll probably have a below-the-average experience. because traditionally these foods are cooked by people from different parts of turkey, so you normally can't have it all in one place. if you're looking for the real deal, you'll find the best pide in a pide restaurant, best kebabs in a kebab restaurant, best döner (no we don't call döner as a kebab) in a döner shop and best desserts in a dessert shop. take your time and do your research, there are really great places that locals go and they are not too far from tourist quarters.
    ok one more tip: don't drink apple tea, no one drinks apple tea in turkey except the vendors of the grand bazaar. it's just kinda processed powder.

It's why I also believe veganism is a mental disease, type of masochism in which people intentionally deny themselves one of life's greatest pleasures. Cheese and meat
