Wacky Menus in Turkey

Last Updated on May 1, 2019

So I’m walking along this little street in Old Antalya(Kaleiçi) when I see this restaurant sign out on the sidewalk:

I burst out laughing and haul out my camera to take a picture.

The restaurant owner comes out, greets me pleasantly, discovers that I speak Turkish, and asks “Say, why does every foreigner who walks by burst out laughing at my sign?”

I told him.

“I figured,” he said. “I don’t speak English, so I just translated as best I could using a dictionary.”

“Whatever you do,” I told him, “don’t change that sign!It’s the best possible publicity you could have. Everybody stops!”
