This post is the follow-up to my previous one about my trek to Gaziantep, a city in Southeastern Turkey famed for Turkish cuisine.

July 28, 2018
How do you write about one of the best if not THE BEST food experiences of a cuisine? It could easily be argued that every experience I write about here I call ‘one of the best’.

Two years ago, I took a trip down to Turkey’s southern region of Hatay specifically to see the historical city of Antakya, or Antioch as it’s called in English. It’s claimed by historians that Antioch was actually the first place where Christians were given the name of “Christians” and called so by others. It is also … More Hummus Along the Silk Road…
