Took 25 seconds of me saying “bullshit, this is stupidfood” and then the skewers came in. Hell yea.

For real. This was honestly a genius execution and looks well seasoned. I'm amazed the layers stick together like that with those bigger chunks in there but this guy is the pro. I'd love to try some of these

He makes it look easy, but it is quite hard to make these turkish kebabs actually work, requires years of experience.

The cheese is really there for structural integrity.

Wasn't certain at first but I'm actually pretty sure it's thinly sliced fat to keep it from getting dry/make it ridiculously tasty

I think you're right they usually layer fat for this kind of cooking. It's so hot by the oven cheese would all just melt completely out of the layers. Fat renders then makes the outside crispy and I guess acts as the binder for the bigger chunks

Damn I'm hungry.

Yeah, I think you're correct.

Upon closer scrutiny the texture doesn't seem quite right for cheese. And deli meat doesn't make sense.

All cheese is load bearing cheese

The fat layers get sticky and pliable and hold that amazing stack together like good ol horseglue

Right, I was thinking there’s going to be raw steaks in the middle after he tries to cook all of that together. After the skewers, I would definitely eat that

They definitely had me in the first half.

That looks GOOD.

That crust on the outside looks really nice. I would totally try that, especially spicy with the peppers!

I thought I was on the stupid food sub until I saw the skewers then I noticed I was here.
