Mehmet Gürs of Mikla

And a final post on Istanbul. Special gratitude to the brilliant chef Mehmet Gürs of Mikla, who first cooked us an incredible dinner of wild, local, modern Anatolian flavors and then patiently hosted us until late night after the bombing which happened right next door to our hotel on Dec 10. When roads were finally re-opened, Chef Mehmet drove us home himself at 1am.
