I spent a few hours in Istanbul, Turkey, Eating and Shopping for the best Turkish Foods out there. Stumbled upon my friend Emir, who is a talented coppersmith, and he shared a few secret places. Keep your eyes peeled as there’s a Geeky Turkish Food Haul coming. Emir’s copper/silver cooking ware brand :

"Salut" guys 😀 ! Just to let you know a few things besides this video, which will probably make it easier to understand my point : – I've been to Turkey and to Istanbul a few times in the past, like a while ago. I've already experienced so many foods there including but not limiting to Doner (spinning roast), balik ekmek (fish sandwich), Kokorec (tripes) etc… – Here I wanted to showcase something a bit different, as I felt like those foods had been extensively covered over on YouTube. But as you guys seemed to be expecting them, I might make a dedicated episode next time ! – Food has many faces, and Culture is one of them. Highlighting that statement was my main goal here ( also gave me a good excuse to binge on foods while traveling for work haha ) Peace
I love your videos and this one in particular was a nice change from the usual videos about Turkish food. If you ever come to New England, let me know. I will take you to a few places you can't miss, but likely can't find without a local.
That's my neighborhood! He missed my favorite içli köfte, balık ekmek, lahmacun. Firin doesn't mean bakery; it means oven. beyaz firin is white oven. taş fırın ıs stone oven.
Why not come to Canada as a French person you already know good cuisine but no one has really ever given Canadian cuisine a review. I would love to see a video about Canada with you reviewing the food!
Salut Alex! I just watched your Chicken Tikka Massala Video and have an answer for your Wish of French inspired dishes. The Vietnamese cuisine have some French influence and you maybe should try Phò. Just a Tipp. 😉
Hey alex, one thjng I missed in your videos was that you rather showed the foods in terms of ingredients instead of trying to eat at the local store. I would suggest you to take a stroll around the city with the app foursquare. It‘s basically a restaurant finder and a friend of mine said they ate very good food and visited beautiful places thanks to it
Salut Alex! man i just gotta say I'm new here and I am loving your vids there are inspiring me to cook again and experiment with foods, spices, herbs, breads and all the stuff in between. I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart I've been really low these past few months and i really didn't know what to do but finding you has made my life so much better i feel alive again in the kitchen and that how it's suppose to be! i can not thank you enough my brother keep doing you!
Ps loving this new style of vid
Pps your probably never gonna see this but i just had to share it you know and if you are reading it thank you again!
Vay, Vay, Vay! My two favorite things – Alex The French Guy Cooking and Istanbul, Turkey! Thank you for showcasing some of the best places for food. Afiyet olsun!
Very nearly a thumbs-down for going to Istanbul and not at least trying one small cup of Turkish Coffee — even if doing so would have re-affirmed you distaste for the stuff.
Hi Alex, In this video like in few others on your channel, you have mistakenly set the automatic subtitles to "french" instead of "english" , and since you're speaking english it doesn't work well. I'm probably not the only hearing impaired among your suscribers who rely on them, so FYI , i guess its not much effort to set it right.
Turkish subtitles are done! Hope I did a good work. I wish I was able to meet with you here in Turkey but at least you had a very cool friend here who showed some of the best Turkish food to you! Best wishes, see you and görüşmek üzere!

You got some lovely footage. Is the weather always that gorgeous?

Thank you for visiting turkey ?

Hi Alex, any video for christmas suggestions like you did last year for the cheese platter ? Maybe a cheese platter round 2 ?
You should do a cross over with Binging with Babish!
Can you please do more desert vids
Salut Alex!

est ce que c'est pas un peu énorme d'aller en Turquie et de croiser des gars qui connaissent ta vidéo sur l'irelande?

Vay, Vay, Vay! My two favorite things – Alex The French Guy Cooking and Istanbul, Turkey! Thank you for showcasing some of the best places for food. Afiyet olsun!
Suggested Venue: Chinatown, as in THE Chinatown, as in San Francisco, California.

Could you do an Asian food journey?
Come to India
Turkish subtitles are done! Hope I did a good work. I wish I was able to meet with you here in Turkey but at least you had a very cool friend here who showed some of the best Turkish food to you! Best wishes, see you and görüşmek üzere!
Istanbul is definitely on my bucket list but I'll need a boat to haul all the good food home! ? The olives and Turkish delight first and foremost ?
The sound of biting into an apple in the intro while eating an oyster creeped me out beyond belief.
A Video about turckish food without kebap?
Is that Emir guy from Turkey cause his English is crazy good
duuude I saw you on the Asian side but I was like, that's not him 😀
Such a true picture of Istanbul. I live there by the way. Thanks Alex!
Damn, Alex, why haven't you posted the video a week earlier? I was in Istanbul and would have used your suggestions for sure! Need to go again then.
