One of the best and honest comments about Turkish cuisine.. luv it..
Ayy bu adamı izlediğim zaman diyetimi bozuyorum çok iyi yemek yiyor 🥲
Betü 😮 senin diyete ihtiyacın yok ki aşko
He will eat you to as Baklava
Seni ben zayiflatirim merak etme
I'm very happy that you enjoy Türkyie and Turkish cuisine :)
It’s just Greek originally
@@mkbaq88Claiming that Turkish cuisine is merely Greek in origin ignores historical facts and the profound influence of geography on culinary traditions. Turkish cuisine is a rich blend shaped by the vast expanse of the Ottoman Empire, the Seljuks, Central Asia, and the diverse local cultures of Anatolia spanning thousands of years. To say "Turkish cuisine is just Greek" reflects, at best, ignorance, and at worst, a deliberate distortion. While culinary traditions may overlap, each nation has its own unique identity, and Turkish cuisine has always stood out with its distinctive character.
🇹🇷😋🦁🇳🇱
Türk yee ae
@@mkbaq88u are just swimmer greek originally
Seni izlemek büyük bir keyif. Özellikle ülkemin yemeklerini böyle iştahlı bir şekilde yediğini görmekten mutluyum. 😁
Every time I watch your video, I find myself ordering food at the end. Your passion for eating, being considerate not to hurt anyone's feelings, and not making negative comments are all really nice. I wish you all the best on your journey.✨
He was missing for a week but I know he was COOKİNG. 2 hours banger. Lets gooo!
When one of us says, "He is my guest (O benim misafirim)" you can never pay :) Thats old Turkish trick always works :)
Just watched the whole series of videos from İstanbul and Ankara. As a 34 years old Turkish guy who has lived in Canada for 11 years and pretty much traveled all around the US between 2010 and 2021. I have watched tons of istanbul city tour or food tour videos like these while I was missing the city or when I had people over and wanted to show them the city vibes. In compharison your videos are my favorite ones by far. Usually when I watch other videos I feel like they are missing out on many good stuff, but in yours most of the locations were on point. Of course there are tons of more locations and spots but it is still pretty satisfying to watch. I can see you have used, google reviews with local and family type of restaurant mix.
Some recommendations are,
Just like cirağan kempinski there are other nice hotels, yes ciragan was a palace and it has an unique history but, mandarin oriental, four seasons and the peninsula are also creme de la creme hotels that you can experience luxury right by the Bosporus. Especially The Peninsula at Karakoy, the neighborhood that you spent a lot of time at is currently the best one you can find in İstanbul.
You can leave, Karakoy, Kadıkoy and Taksim regions via metro to many other local spots. İstanbul is a city with not one downtown but maybe like 15 downtowns :). In all there are different attraction points for food. There is a Turkish channel called, Ayakustu lezzetler. those guys are crazy about food and they go to the best locations around istanbul and usually do it by neighborhood. I would highly recommend them for you to be able to find out more spots. For example there was no pide in your videos, pide is a must :)
The fish spot with the salmon sandwich is one of the best! Your general attitude is very friendly and you get it back from the people! The karakoy fish wrap, is so famous. My office is there and those spots use to be freshly caught fish local spots but now there are people who came from the one party of turkey where there is no sea and started to serve frozen mackerel from norway :/ since they sauce it up it adds up an umami and tastes good but it has lost its authenticity.
If you feel comfortable driving, definitely rent a car and go all the way down towards izmir or bodrum from İstanbul by stopping at BURSA, and AYVALIK (CUNDA) on your way.
Great videos once again! I appreciate that you give back to the community with your tips as well. I live in Istanbul, if you need any help or questions just reply back I'll be happy to support in any way!
take care!
You are doing a good job , you made me proud of being a Turk , enjoy the Turkey ,people will always show hospitality🇹🇷 thank you aswell👍👍
Great video, I have never seen a youtuber coming to Turkey for food and indulging in pickles so much like you do 😁😁😁 keep up the good work
You’re so friendly, kind, respectful & outgoing!! I’ve enjoys the way you eat!! 😀
Be careful & enjoy your travel!!
I've been watching this video and taking notes :)) I'm from Adana, and you've been to places I havent eaten before. Thank you for your enthusiasm. I agree with what you said at the döner restaurant in Ankara; the beauty of Turkish food comes from its simplicity, it lets the ingredients shine.
58:50 actually, you're damn right Max! as a Turkish, we eat wet burger when we get drunk :) haha. It's a late night snack. I didn't see a person eat that in early in the day.
Thanks to share Max!❤
Man you really fit well in Turkey. Hilarious to watch as a Turkish person in Atlanta with you walking around in Razorbacks merch.
When i saw that u returned and give tip for the guy who didnt has good english then u stole my heart. Love u from Türkiye! Turkish people are loving you Max! Enjoy ur time
This guy is actually triplets, and they all act as a one person. There is no other explanation for eating 57 kebabs before midday.
😂bence Beşiz,1 günde yediği 1 haftalık yemeğim😂
I think Turkish cuisine is unique in the world
Ülkem adına teşekkürler❤
Thats why i wanna go there lol
Enjoy my handsome dear Max.😋😋😋happy holidays 🤗♥️
Love your videos Max ❤️
Youre absolutely spot on for wet burger. It is the go to drunk food of Istanbul. Taksim is filled with bars and Kızılkayalar is open till very late. It is also known for its cheapness.
3 big drunk food are: Wet Burger, Tantuni and Kokoreç with Midye Dolma (Mussel).
It's funny that a lot of small restaurants in turkey have those mirrors on the wall where you can eat watching yourself. I think it has to do with how small some of those shops are.
Inexpensive and easy way to make a space appear twice its size
You are such a positive person👍🏻😀
Bu kadar yiyip nasıl böyle kalabiliyorsun dostum
biraz metabolizma farklıdır, bir de yürümeyi seviyor yabancıların çoğu.
bizde imkan oldu mu zıçmaya bile arabayla ya da toplu taşımayla gidiyoruz. adamların durumu yerinde, 70-80 yaşlarında olmalarına rağmen hala daha günde 30-40bin adım yürüyorlar veya bisiklete biniyorlar (tr'ye uzun süreli gelen orta yaş ve yaşlı turistler ile vakit geçirerek deneyimleyebilirsin eğer vücudun onların temposuna yetişebilirse)
@@SkepticPaw yea exactly that's what i tried to explain to the comment owner 😂
Another tip, you can almost always pick your own table. You don't have to ask. Rice bean is really the real thing and most famous comfort food like you said for Turks.
Just sit wherever you fancy
Admired to see how much you have a knowledge regarding Turkish food considering that you are not local (how come you could know bulgur and sumak 😂)
just discovered your channel and first time watching… and will be close follower of your videos for sure!
Hope to see more videos from Turkiye 😊
I like the way you look at it when you get the time and you want it for the best you are going for yourself I love it ❤
Böylesi lezzetleri Afiyetle midene indirmişsin Şifa olsun Adamım Türkçe 🇹🇷Aksanın çok iyi bravo İyi Tatiller
Welcome to Türkiye
Hello MAX 😘, from 🇬🇷 Greece
Just awesome and entertaining honest video and food review. Thanks
Bro ate whole Türkiye. Let some for us too haha
You look like an actor I’ve seen before 😭
Great to see fellow Arkansan doing so well. Merry Christmas from Saline County
Merhaba iyi ki ülkemize geldin, güzel yorumların i,in teşekkür ederim. Burası Ortadoğu değil Türkiye tanıttığın için teşekkürler
Max, i have been watching you and Desi Chris for quite a while now. I was so surprised to see you in one of my Home Countries. You have to try my favourite Turkish dishes, for Soups i recommend Mercimek, Işkembe and Beyran and for main Dish i highly recommend Iskender Kebap and Karniyarik. Greetings from Germany.
We don't have just one kind of helva. Un helvası, irmik helvası, tahin helvası, yaz helvası (plain or cacao, i love yaz helvası), kağıt helva, koz helvası, fırında helva (sold in mostly seafood restaurants, tahini cleanses heavy metals in fish, ppl believe that), köpük helvası, süt helvası, pirinç unu helvası.
Börek is a sub-group of Turkish pastries. I can count more than 30 different börek from Turkish cuisine.
There is a special kinds of simit (I wanna suggest that), "kandil simidi". There are some special days in Islam and at those days, in patisseries, kandil simidi are baked and sold. I dislike Istanbul version but kandil simidi in Ankara is absolute taste. You can buy in a traditional pastries. Like DenizAtı, Liva or Elizinn.
You are living my dream life!!🫠❤️
Nice to see that really like the food!!
love watching u bro
Its like a MAXimal blockbuster
gece gece izledim kendi ülkemde öğrenci olup kart bakiyemin 74 tl göstermesi gibi hayat bazen
enjoy ur meal my brother,welcome to turkiyeee
Please post a list of the restaurants you visited.😊
Türkiye perfect amazing beatiful country
You very lucky man. Bucause you cant see any amazing beatiful country and than Türkiye people in the World 👍🤩
My mom introduced me to your channel and we binged watched your videos.
Now my sister is so mad at you, because I always ask her to drive me to the best mediterranean resto and we are living in the Philippines.
The resto is almost an hour away from our place. 😂
Hello Max😊 love your videos
12:45 lol
“It’s big and girthy” well… the way he held that up against his pants. I cannot! 😂
Türkiye nice, beatiful, amazing country
Bu video 1 hafta önce yayınlanmıştı ..nasıl oluyorda tekrar 2 saat önce yeni yayınlanmış gibi yayın yapılıyor ..neyse tekrar önüme düştü izledim o döner ekmeği yerken yutkundum ya …bu nasıl iştah ..
bazen telif yiyen kısımlar oluyor o yüzden silip yeniden yüklüyorlar.
Oh you are so cute 🥹 I hope we see you more in Turkey🤗
Zurna is some kind of long traditional flute and zurna durum is a play on that to mean long one.
You went to the most famous çiğköfte place. There are thousands of videos about there. Lucky you didn't have to wait in a line.
That place is not the Norm it is a meme. They just fill it in extremely.
I really enjoy your videos, your comments are sincere and reasonable. One of my biggest dream is making a city tour with you and eat every street food that we see. (im living in Ankara, Yes, I know you come to Ankara and eat its delicacies, but if you travel with me once, as a local of 23 years, I can take you to restaurants you have never known.) I wish you would make a concept like this
Lovu u so much please make more videos in Türkiye
Good job 👍😁
There are a lot of foods that you should taste like a kokereç .But Gaziantep is another gurme city which is well-known with kebabs and baklavas .You should visit in Turkiye
Nice to meet you bro❤❤❤ very interesting
2:12:46
My friend, you should shake the ayran before drinking it, so that the yoghurt in it will sink to the bottom as it sits in the fridge, so that it mixes well and thickens. ;)
Come to Izmir, i will host you bro 🤘
Welcome brother.
You have tasted the flavors that are visible and accessible to everyone. More touristic places. Next time you come, I recommend you to go to places preferred by the public. Local dishes, little-known corners, etc. For example, with the wanderers that appear at night. By the way, if a content is going to be prepared only about eating, it should preferably not be Istanbul. I strongly recommend you to go to Gazi Antep-Adana-Hatay-Urfa-Trabzon (Black Sea) areas.
By the way, thank you for lahmacun. I ate lahmacun at 11 o'clock in the evening because of the video last night. Even on a full stomach, people get hungry when they watch you. My grandfather always said to Sit across from someone with a hearty appetite so that even if you're full, your appetite will open up. You are that person...
You ate so good man 👏🏻 made me hungry and luckily im turkish and stayin in turkiye now😂
If your trip to Türkiye is not over, please visit Antalya, it has a wonderful sea, nature, history and food, I would like you to see it.
Quite the placement of the durum Max lol
For #29, the bread is called Simit Pogacha, or Kasharli Pogachi.
Kashar is Provolone Cheese. They put some kashar in it, but it gets melted and becomes invisible.
That is why you cannot tell what makes it so delicious while it looks so plain.
and I can see that, the amount of cheese was not enough for your taste. I cannot agree more.
I do not think you need butter with it. You just wanted to say you wanted a little more melted kashar in it.
Love the content 🩶🩶🩶
watching your Video and still waiting for Tantuni :/ next time try it you will fall in love with it 2:19:00 ULTRA PAUSE
Next time!
If youre not going through borderline torture during a haircut, Im not watching 😂
Nice vlog brother 😍
That Kebab is basically a Döner Kebab with no bread, no potato chips, no pickles but double the price 😏
BU ADAM İSTANBULDAN AYRILMAZ ARTIK 😂
Big fan brother from Pakistan 🇵🇰
2 hours video respect
Absolutely amazing bro
Max in Türkiye iş the best
Thanks to you, I craved these flavors, most of which I have tasted, again. I'm hungry now.
Afiyet olsun 😊
1:04:29 omg that is a Persian wedding. They must be hella rich to have it there.
Turkey Beautiful
Menemen is the most eaten Turkish egg dish. There are places that only do those and you would get good ones from there.
12:48 whatt 😄 okay!
Thổ nhĩ kì nơi pha trộn giữa châu âu và châu á... Món ăn của họ cũng rất đặc sắc... Nhưng không thấy họ ăn nhiều rau
Turkey is a country with seven geographical regions, each possessing its own unique culinary traditions. While meat-based dishes often take the spotlight due to their popularity, Turkish cuisine also offers a rich array of vegetarian and vegan options.
@@marawillosok9027 👏👏👏

ISTANBUL IS THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚💚💛💛💛🤎🤎🤎🤎💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Sooo does anyone know why Max and Chris had to abruptly leave Vietnam?! Did either ever share what exactly happened?! It wasn’t their choice to stop filming there and were forced to leave
You must take the rail from KL Sentral to Padang Besar or KL Sentral to Butterworth in order to reach Langkawi Island if you are returning to Malaysia. From there, you must take a ferry to Langkawi Island.
It's just suggestion.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
that small bun called poğaça has supposedly cheese filling but it melted away. You just have to trust the bakery that it is a cheese poğaça.
Kardeşim sen Türk yemekleri yemek için doğmuşsun . Ne bu iştahlı yiyiş :D

Man How are you so sympathic? 😂
