There is a lot of controversy surrounding who invented this delicious, torpedo of goodness, but the Association of Turkish D\u00f6ner Manufacturers (no, I am not making that up&#8230;that is a REAL organization) declared Kadir as the first inventor.\u00a0 Sorry Hormel, you didn&#8217;t win this title. Germany probably hosts the biggest population of Turkish immigrants, and you can find this in almost every German town.\u00a0 In fact, the kebab sandwich is the most popular street foods amongst Germans, surpassing even the hometown bratwurst, curry sausages. I cant blame the Germans for loving these&#8211;they are deeeelish. Of course, having visited Istanbul on multiple occasions, I have taste tested many variations of this, and in this travelers humble opinion, the ones with the spicy <em>sriracha<\/em> sauce tasted best. I think to honor this person who contributed such a meaningful piece of culinary artwork to society, I will grill up some lamb kebabs this weekend, and enjoy it with a glass of <em>ayran<\/em>.\u00a0 Happy Travels!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/files\/2013\/10\/kadir_nurman.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-703\" alt=\"kadir_nurman\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/files\/2013\/10\/kadir_nurman.png\" width=\"436\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2013\/10\/kadir_nurman.png 436w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2013\/10\/kadir_nurman-300x164.png 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2013\/10\/kadir_nurman-260x142.png 260w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2013\/10\/kadir_nurman-160x87.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friends, today is a sad day indeed, to learn that the inventor of one of the best, if not THE best street foods of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[1],"tags":[89],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
