The Origin of Döner Kebab
The döner kebab, or simply kebab, originated in 1856 in the city of Bursa, Turkey. Its name comes from the Turkish words “donmek,” which means to turn, and “kebab,” which means giant skewer grilled vertically. Legend has it that the fusion of döner kebab and bread, as a “sandwich,” was invented in 1970 by Turkish immigrants living in the Kreuzberg neighborhood of Berlin. Turkish flavors continued to travel around the world… until one fine day, El Turko arrived in Arequipa, fell in love with this beautiful city, and decided to embrace it to make döner kebab one of the attractions of Arequipa’s culinary culture.
