As I was eating my way through Brooklyn\u2019s Bay Ridge in search of candidates for my Little Levant ethnojunket,<\/a> I stopped by Istanbul Bay, the Turkish caf\u00e9 and restaurant at 8002 5th Avenue.<\/p>\n

\nHere\u2019s their version of Karisik Pide; the Turkish word kar\u0131\u015f\u0131k (note the undotted letter I, a giveaway that you\u2019re reading Turkish) means \u201cmixed\u201d and this pide is topped with a mix of Turkish sausage (sucuk, aka sujuk), savory seasoned air-dried cured beef (past\u0131rma, root word bast\u0131rmak meaning \u201cpress\u201d) and their spin on mozzarella cheese. A generous measure of meat and a nifty boat within a boat presentation too.<\/p>\n
