100 Hours in Turkey 🇹🇷 Epic TURKISH STREET FOOD Tour in Istanbul & Across Türkiye!

Turkey, over 5 years and multiple trips, has taught me that food here is a way of life. Every region, city and village has its own recipes, its own dish. Their food is a part of their identity. I’m in Istanbul. Not the capital of Turkey, but certainly one of histories most important cities. Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople is where east meets west. This is where we start the journey but soon we’ll cross the turqiouis waters of the Bosphorus and dive deep into Anatolian Asia. Of the many foods the Turk’s are proud to call theirs’. There may not be one more symbolic than the Turkish delight. Welcome to Chopstick Travel I'm Luke Martin and this is a film made using over 100 hours spent filming compiled into an extensive but certainly not exhaustive documentary about the Food in Turkey (Türkiye). ______________________ I'm Luke Martin, food lover and world traveller! I make videos about local, authentic and unique foods from across the globe. I particularly like to sample street food across Asia. I’ve eaten my way across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, parts of Africa, North America and the list is still growing!
