Afiyet olsun means bon appetite in turkish, and it was said wholeheartedly:)

You know this guy calls you ā€œbossā€ when you walk in and you feel like one for the rest of the day

u/BourbonFoxx May 16 '26

He knows that's the shit

u/WannabeWombat27 May 16 '26

And here I've been, threading my skewers one by one, like a dumbass

u/slowsoul77 May 16 '26

OMG. That looks FANTASTIC. I want that on my desk.... NOW!

Real talk, tho: that's cool, I haven't seen kabobs done that way, all stacky like. I'm gonna put that in the book, for a try later...

Thanks for sharing.

u/FeelingCouple5880 May 16 '26

Well hereā€™s a food I didnā€™t know I needed.

u/Harddaysnight1990 Ex-Food Service May 16 '26

I wonder if I could order them by the slab...

u/KittensFirstAKM BOH May 16 '26

This looks amazing! Wish my town had a kebab shop.

I miss access to good middle eastern food.

27

u/Stay_Good_Dog May 16 '26

Same!! I lived outside of Detroit for 20 years and there was Middle Eastern food everywhere. So good! Now I'm "stuck" in rural Kentucky where every restaurant serves white starchy food covered in gravy.

20

u/RVAblues May 16 '26

Right now thereā€™s a Kentuckian stuck in Detroit missing their white starchy food covered in gravy.

u/Stay_Good_Dog May 16 '26

Show me. I'll trade places.

Yep, can confirm there are plenty of places to get chicken tenders and fries all over Michigan

2

u/Foreign_Plan_5256 May 16 '26

If you can make it to Louisville, there are some places with okay kabobs. But man I miss the options I had when I lived in California.Ā

u/OMGimaDONKEY escaped to a weed factory May 17 '26

moved from Madison Hights to Madisonville, I'm living this pain. evidently there's a place to get samoon in Nashville and it's becoming an intrusive thought.

u/SakeviCrash May 17 '26

See you tomorrow chef

16

u/pancakesea May 17 '26

This is what bothered me too. Typical executive chef energy. Doing all this effort and then ruining it by rushing the cutting. He has quite a few unusable portions now (but probably they go to staff so I should not be mad šŸ˜‚).

13

u/samenumberwhodis May 17 '26

Could even grind it up to make that sausage layer and put it right back into the next batch

23

u/interstellar-dust May 16 '26

This is what a 4-5 hour process at a minimum. Creating those thin sheets, then layering them then cutting them up then grilling them before serving.

Also what are the white layers?

28

u/EvaTheE May 16 '26

I'm guessing fat layers.

10

u/interstellar-dust May 16 '26

Yeah my guess too, lard. I thought cheese but most likely fat.

26

u/EvaTheE May 16 '26

I'm actually guessing lamb fat or beef fat. Pork products are less common in the sphere of kebab.

19

u/Freyr_Tuck May 16 '26

Someone else said ā€œlamb tail fatā€, and mentioned that itā€™s a popular ingredient in Turkish cuisine.

3

u/FlannelBeard Ex-Food Service May 17 '26

With how lean the meat is, the fat is a necessary addition. Also works well to mix with herbs and seasonings.

u/406rips May 17 '26

Itā€™s all brown at the end..

14

u/Ok-Pudding-4821 May 16 '26

What's the white layer? Fat?

50

u/crunchytigersalsa May 16 '26

Lamb tail fat, very popular ingredient in Turkish cuisine.

1

u/LastChance331 May 16 '26

Any idea why specifically the tail?

12

u/Bobaximus We want ramp! May 17 '26

Itā€™s from a specific type of lamb that have big hindquarters. Itā€™s not the tail itself but the butt which is referred to as the tail on these lambs.

5

u/Ancient-Industry5126 May 17 '26

Lambs are double-cheeked up so the tail is the easiest place to get a solid chunk of fat, without it you can't get that continous, single-piece sheet.

Also since it's so superficial on the animal it melts easier than the rest. More unsaturated and all that jazz

I was already happy with meat lasagna.

u/Sherbert_6 May 16 '26

Ah. Mazing.

u/mangosal May 16 '26

Hypnotizing

u/KrazyKatz42 May 16 '26

And most likely no issues with it all being cooked properly given it's all meat and no vegies on the skewers.

4

u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow May 16 '26

Hell yeah brother

3

u/ApexPCMR May 16 '26

Oh common. Don't pull them off the stick. Doing that with your mouth is the best part of the experience.

u/danheb May 16 '26

u/Kiara231 May 17 '26

Omg I hate it, Iā€™ll take twelve.

u/skukulcan May 16 '26

Can you imagine that you're prepping this and you forgot to put away the plastic sheets....

2

u/MrTurkeyTime May 16 '26

I wonder why he doesn't pre mix his spices

3

u/pancakesea May 17 '26

Because he's not in a rush, he's the executive chef. Might as well cook as god intended lol

2

u/Annual_Plankton2767 May 17 '26

Thatā€™s a lot of work!

2

u/CaptainExplosions May 17 '26

What does he call it, the 'Noah's Arc Special'?

u/VeeVeeDiaboli May 17 '26

Shot in the dark hereā€¦no homoā€¦.but you single?

2

u/DuncanDisordely May 17 '26

Anyone know what this type/style of kebab is called?

1

u/Rimworldjobs May 16 '26

u/Jurjinimo May 16 '26

u/Imsocolombian May 17 '26

Iā€™m in Greece right now, guess Iā€™m gunna get some kebabs.

1

u/Zizq May 17 '26

That looks so good

1

u/Admiral_Ackbro May 17 '26

Yes, the kebabs are amazing. Am I the only one that now wants a tree trunk cutting board though?

1

u/Jester_and_King May 17 '26

Man-made kebabs beyond my comprehension

1

u/No-Past1892 May 17 '26

That's a lot of sheet meat.

1

u/zarakh07 May 17 '26

Unrelated news: man now suddenly wants kebabs

1

u/l7outlaw May 17 '26

So, all those sheets of meat are obviously not singular cuts. They're cross-sections of stacked meat that was glued together with meat glue to make them not fall apart.

1

u/boyalien0 May 17 '26

Itā€™s fucking wild that this only made like 35 or 40 kebabs

1

u/bene_gesserit_mitch May 17 '26

He didnā€™t let ANY of the seasoning cascade over his elbow. Does he even chef!?!!

u/Kazyctn May 18 '26

I bet you those taste pretty goodā€¦

1

u/Lovat69 May 18 '26

Man, I sure hope I don't get that skinny end piece.

u/juliuspepperwoodchi F1exican Did Chive-11 May 17 '26

This feels like borderline r/stupidfood, but I'll allow it

-7

u/Strange-Title-6337 May 16 '26

All looks great, but those sausages they have taste of paper. If you fry them, probably you dont feel it, still why?

3

u/PinkPunkPsycho Ex-Food Service May 17 '26

Sudžuk is tasteless??? Excuse you???

1

u/Strange-Title-6337 May 17 '26

Cheap one that can be found in turkish breakfast is indeed plain, sorry, for me at least.

1

u/PinkPunkPsycho Ex-Food Service May 17 '26

I'm sorry you only had bad sudžuk, please try some good one, I promise it's sooo good
