"Draped in twinkling lights and painted a cheerful lime green, Çakmak Kahvaltı is where I turn for simple yet satisfying menemen: they serve almost a dozen varieties, from the sade (plain) version to renditions with beyaz peynir, kaşar, or tulum cheeses, and heartier upgrades with spicy sucuk, smoky pastırma, or kavurma — if you can’t decide, go for the karışık, a maximalist skillet loaded with everything." - Scott Campbell
