Istanbul, Turkey
600 years of Ottoman cuisine, portable and under $3.
Istanbul's street food evolves from 600 years of Ottoman history, sold from simit carts that have been operating since the 1500s. Lahmacun with sumac onions and controversial kokoreç showcase a crossroads of Europe and Asia, offering variety unmatched by any competitor. The simit rings alone are a lesson in simplicity, yet Penang's more complex flavor layering outperforms Istanbul's tradition-driven stalls.
