Feeling of Istanbul

I went to a Turkish restaurant, the "Istanbul Cafe", with my friends for lunch. The restaurant opened recently in the complex at 86th and Ditch.
I tried the 'adana kebab' which was skewered herbed ground lamb and beef grilled. It was spicy and delicious. We ordered different dishes, so we could try a bite each of them. The 'stuffed cabbage rolls' was my favorite.

Do you know Turkish food is one of the big three cuisines of the world? Others are Chinese and French (or Italian). I am sorry Japanese is not one of them. I love Japanese food because it has a variety of dishes throughout the four seasons. People would hesitate to taste strange foods for themselves, so I hope Japanese food will become more popular in the world. Sometimes I feel happy because I can eat everything. (I am not sure about strange foods for me like snakes or insects...) Of course I enjoy American food now.

Now spring has come and it is the time to eat and drink out!
