Hi Max, im a Turkish guy living in the Us. I wish i met you and take you to hidden food spots of Turkey! I’m originally from south east Turkey where you can eat the best baklava, kebap and many other traditional food! If you come to Florida I’d like to take you to nice Turkish places down here too! I hope you’re having a great time in Turkey so far!

[@helenemalenfant5435]

Been watching your videos for a while and love all your content. Not one to comment but I had to add that I especially love the way you treat people. You’re interested in other cultures, cuisines and you have a generous heart, treating people with respect, no matter where you are. You go a long way in dispelling the negative stereotypes of American tourists abroad. From a Canadian neighbour with an American-born father and husband.

Hi Max, I just came across your posts. Love your enthusiasm and your travels. I see you are very attracted to food, massages, and haircuts. I was surprised by your $400 massage. It all seemed 1st class, yet, I felt sorry for the Balinese massage lady. She had to travel halfway around the world to make a living. That's sad. I see that in my travels too. It's something that I still have issues with after all my years of travel. Your generosity is commendable by the way. I'm sure you'll be popping up on you tube. Looks like Samos and Turkey 2026 for me. 2025 is South East Asia again.

[@ismailgulsen4755]

Hello Max, welcome to Istanbul! It's very interesting what you're doing, but you really need a guide who can show you the best restaurants, cafés, and bakeries. Since you're already in Istanbul, you should also explore the different neighborhoods. There are 4-5 neighborhoods that you definitely need to check out before you leave Istanbul.

[@AydinProductionsLtd]

Borsam Tas firin lahmacun is my place everytime I visit family. The mussels used to be sold on the street by guys setting up right by the waterside. Its only become popular like that the past 8-10 years. You past my favourite baklava shop Bilge Oglu at 39:35 , its a small family run shop. The economy has gone crazy and prices are way higher than they have ever been. Yes cheaper for foreigners but not Turks.

You were raised right. Always eat fries before your burger/sandwich. Also, my first trip to Kenya in the 80s, I was served plain mayonnaise with my fries. Never heard of it before. I loved it. Second, is malt vinegar with a little salt for fry condiments. A male shouldn't use ketchup after the age of 12.

If you're still in Turkey, you should try Jumbo Burger (Or J Burger) in bağdat caddesi, kadıköy. One of the best hamburgers I've eaten in Istanbul. All are hand made including ketchup and mayo, and surely you'll be surprised at the mayo. Also very unique burgers. You should try one of the big burgers such as Daytona or San Francisco.
