Döner kebap listeye girmiş, iyi ki.
Testi kebabı Kapadokya'da testinin kırılması şov gibi.
Cağ kebabı Erzurum'a gidince mutlaka yenmeli.
Ali Nazik Gaziantep'te harika.
Beyti kebap İstanbul'un klasiği.
Adana kebap birinci, acılı olmazsa olmaz.
Kağıt kebabı, tavuk şiş ve fıstıklı kebap da listede olmalıydı.
İskender'in tereyağı dökülürken çıkan ses 😋
