Kokoreççi Asım Usta
A note by Sevim Tekin GözaydınKonak, Türkiye
Completely devoid of pretense and focused solely on the 'perfect product', Kokoreççi Asım Usta stands as undoubtedly one of the most esteemed representatives of İzmir’s deep-rooted street food culture. With an unwavering standard of quality maintained for decades, it remains a well-kept rendezvous point not only for locals but for gourmets traveling from all corners of Turkey.
The curator's note
I’ve always believed that true culinary experiences don't just happen in elegant restaurants over crisp white tablecloths. To truly feel the authentic soul of İzmir, we are steering our route to the city’s most venerable master of street food: Asım Usta. Roasted over oak charcoal with a rhythm that only comes from decades of mastery, perfectly crisp on the outside yet incredibly juicy inside—this is the exact moment street culture transcends into a refined culinary art. When you want to deliberately step away from İzmir’s modern venues and taste the 'real' city, this is exactly where you need to be. My personal favorite: a perfectly spiced, crusty quarter-loaf.
