24 TURKISH STREET FOODS in GAZIANTEP | FIRST IMPRESSIONS of ANTEP TURKEY (Is it REALLY THAT GOOD?)

Come and try 24 INSANE Street Foods in Gaziantep (Antep) Turkey with us when we visited ANTEP FOR THE FIRST TIME! If you thought Turkish food in Istanbul was incredible, you haven’t experienced anything until you make it to the TURKISH FOOD and BAKLAVA HEAVEN OF GAZIANTEP. On this Gaziantep Turkey Food Tour we are going to try some insanely delicious Turkish street food as well as some of the most UNIQUE TURKISH food to showcase why Turkish cuisine and in particular Gaziantep Food is the BEST!
We wanted to visit Gaziantep, Turkey for the longest time as it is known as the kitchen of the world and its is a UNESCO recognized creative city with insanely delicious food everywhere you look at very affordable prices.
Gaziantep is the home of some world famous Turkish foods like Turkish baklava as well as local unique (and delicious) foods like katmer, beyran çorbası and Ali nazik kebab as we showcased 24 of the best ones you MUST TRY (yes 24!) on this GOD LEVEL STREET FOOD TOUR in Gaziantep Turkey!
Thanks for joining us on our Gaziantep Food Tour in 2022, but we want to know, did we miss out on eating any specific Gaziantep Turkish foods that would like to see Steve try next time we return to Turkey’s Food Heaven?

This video is as successful as Mark Wiens’ videos. Are you planning to continue with this concept not only for Turkey but for the whole world? I think you have great potential :)

[@TravelInteresante]

Wow, thanks so much for this incredible compliment, we are so honored, and we love Mark Wiens! We have a lot of food videos in the making and can't wait to share them soon. Thanks so much ❤️

Gained some weight just watching this! Brought back some great memories of Antep. İmam Çağdaş is so good that we went twice! Especially loved the Ali Nazik kebab

Gaziantep blew our minds! We came in with high expectations and the food exceeded our expectations and was insanely delicious.

Welcome back guys! You had me at Baklava! You guys don’t mess around with food. Have missed your video guys. Ao cool you had the chef give you the food tour. Just like Gokce, Melissa loves Olives. The editing here was perfect! Love the use of J cuts and B roll. What a cool museum. You guys are big time with the VIP treatment. I have never heard most of the food you both introduced. I am all about the Baklava tour, that’s a complete operation. What! A Kabob taste testing. This video was 25 min but felt like 3 min. Great job guys. Way to end at a coffee in a cave!

[@TravelInteresante]

Thanks so much Carl, sorry we've been MIA but glad to finally get a new one out! We've really come to appreciate having great food at every place we visit and Gaziantep really took it to another level. The food was incredible and the people were so kind. In Turkey, Gokce is the secret weapon of course, but we find if you show a genuine interest and kindness anywhere in the world, people will go above and beyond to showcase their own food and culture. Hopefully you can make it to Turkey soon and we can do a baklava tour together! ;)

[@TheMamuchos]

ciger is one of our top thing to eat when in Gaziantep, we always look for it around the country, but we read about how good they are there and for breakfast. Can't wait!! We need to try your moms too hahaha, just invited ourselves

Haha you two are definitely welcome to come when you're back on the Aegean side! We were definitely very thankful to find a great spot to go later on in the day, we are not 5am people ;)

If I ever go to Turkey again, I am going to follow this food guide to the T - it all looks so good. I especially would want to sample the baklava, the lamb, and ali nazek kebab. I really like how you describe everything and show how to put it together and eat it in the traditional way. I've never had liver cubes before - but I'd give them a try!

[@TravelInteresante]

Thanks so much! It was so hard to edit as we kept getting hungry and took too many breaks :) We would love to take you around in Turkey and re-introduce all of them in person! 😍

[@TravelInteresante]

Hi there! We filmed this video in the beginning of spring but we didn't want to post it until now as this was a big project for us and took a long time to edit! Turkey is fairly warm and nice right now, you can bring your light jackets for the evenings though. Have a safe flight and enjoy Turkey (we are also from New York😊)

[@Explorcation]

Oh my goodness you two, you ate soo much delicious looking food 🙌 I cant remember the names of the foods I would be most excited to try. Skylar would definitely want to try the spicy dishes and I would love trying everything with pistachio. We recently had pistachio pizza for the first time and it was way better than we expected. We have also tried pistachio coffee..but I have a feeling it wasn't near as great as the pistachio coffee you tried. And how cute to have coffee in a cave 😍

[@TravelInteresante]

Haha, honestly we had to write them all down as we were trying them because a good amount I never tried before either! That pistachio pizza did look super delicious you guys tried and we are now on the look out for one ourselves! So many unique spots and food in Gaziantep, we were so glad to have went and met so many friendly locals!

[@Explorcation]

@@TravelInteresante haha well I don't feel as bad for not remembering the names! Let us know what you think we you finally try a pistachio pizza :)

[@TravelInteresante]

Yes we will!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

The pistachio & sugar pastry for breakfast looks amazing but not so sure about spicy soup to start the day🥵 So fun watching them make all the food in the kitchen. Day two breakfast looked tasty (bonus that they did veggie😋), I don’t know how you guys managed all this food though with lunch as well at the art place. Loved watching the baclava being made, Craig loves baclava I had no idea there were so many variations!

We usually try to include prices, but a lot of the restaurants we visited gave us a discount or some of the items on the house (we did not ask for it, but they offered it as a nice gesture), so we did not get to see the full prices for a lot of the food.
