this is what I came to Adana to eat if you're looking for the best street food in Turkey Adana
is a city you have to [Music] visit today we'll be going on an all out extreme Turkish food tour
of Aden showing you exactly what to eat and where but first let's back up Adana turkey
officially Turkiye is a city along the Sean River not far from the Mediterranean Sea when
most people think about Adana kebabs are the first thing that comes to mind ad kebabs are
perhaps the most popular meat skewer in all of turkey and when you go to the source be prepared
for your taste buds to transcend into a new world of flavor it's a life-changing Kebab in addition
to kebabs we'll navigate through the market and yes eat more grilled meat it's jiggly stop for
many snacks oh so filled with walnuts drenched in syrup try delicious homestyle cooking and
bite into what is perhaps the most hilarious yet delicious delicacy in all of turkey but to begin
let's find out why people wake up at 700 a.m. in Adana good morning it's Mark Wiens so happy
to be in adad we're getting started for breakfast this morning on a busy street corner where they're
famous for serving Bor which is famous all around the country but it started right here oh this
place is buzzing in the morning morning it's just 7:00 a.m. 7:30 a.m. and it's already buzzing and packed good morning Ugur yes nice see thank you today we're With Ur culinary Backstreets guide and
Gem a native of Adana and a true ambassador of local food oh man so this place is just
buzzing and actually it's a it's a national chain that you'll find AC cross turkey now but it all started right here on this street corner and the owner still still makes it and
serves it so we are here with Mr lent himself yes oh and the borak it just smells so good so
it's freshly baked but then it still stays hot on this cart I think kind of just steaming so that it Still Remains hot so when he serves it when he pulls it up the cheese is still melting
and then you can hear the crispiness of that pastry all the the layers of the dough crispy on top oh man this smells so good and I love it setup here still serving from a cart here
oh man oh not just cheese but meat in this one wow what type of meat is
Itami oh man my mouth is watering but before we eat let's go to
the kitchen to the factory where they make it and we are in to the factory so it all begins with the dough which is a combination of eggs flour
water salt and so that's all kneaded in a big machine and then it goes to another machine where they knead out the dough into the really paper thin
sheets which are similar to filo which is similar to what they use for [Music]
baklava okay oh so that's that's
butter oil goes on once all the dough is rolled out then it goes to the pans and they layer in
about 14 or 15 layers with some oil on the bottom uh and she kind of folds them wraps them over and
then just drapes them into the pan so that first part that we saw that's just the top crispy layers
but when you eat borak you have some layers that are gooey and noodly and others that are more and more crispy be and so we're going to see next the layers on the bottom that are more noodle
like and that's because they take the dough and they boil them instead of bake them oh he tosses
[Music] it okay so then it moves over to the next station where the noodles are cooked they start
assembling it and they layer in those noodles on top of the very thin dough so it almost seems like
the the dough that's going to be the top is that that thin dough but the noodles are going to be on the bottom so they they layer in those noodles next into the Pan Once the boric is all assembled
with all the different layers with the noodles with the the pastry on top and with the fillings and with all the butter then it goes onto it's actually not baked I thought it was baked but it's
actually more like stove top it's like a stove top cook so they put the pan onto this stove top
con conveyor belt it Cooks It kind of like lets it all crispy but keeps those noodles soft and then
once it reaches the end of the first conveyor belt then they flip it over onto a different pan so then you've got the crispy layers on the bottom and then it continues to cook on the other
side okay we're all sitting down ready to eat we have three three flavors one with the Pastrami
and cheese one with the meat and one with just straight cheese oh man this is incredible okay
