Doner kebabs in Utah?

[Deleted member 848]

A lot of the places here are Lebanese, and they generally call them "shawarma", which makes sense if wikipedia isn't leading me astray (shawarma being a levantine food, Lebanon being in the Levant). "Donair" comes from some dude with a Greek name in Halifax, and is presumably a different transliteration of the Turkish "doner".

Very interesting. I wonder why the term 'donair' tends to be more popular here among the Lebanese then. Hmmmm. I did some reading, and what youre saying seems to be bang-on.

I just had a doner for dinner. mmm mmm "mit allem" (you know someone speaks correct german when they say it like this)

I think for the Doner Kebab to really reach the next level of culinary greatness they need Cheeto flavored bread .

Can't "like" that post; too jealous. Where's the "jealous" button?

funny, I've never heard of them, and we have 4 Middle Eastern restaurants within 6 blocks of my house - plus another 2 Greek places! We have shish kebabs and kefta kebabs and wraps and shawarma and gyros and lots of other stuff, but no doner kebabs!

But I did find a "Doner kebabs in Chicago" thread on a random message board https://www.roadfood.com/Forums/Doner-Kebabs-in-Chicago-m676557.aspx

As a Turk i prefer Adana kebab or urfa kebab to döner. You can see everywhere döner shops cuz it's cheap and pratique.

so I'm still trying to figure this out...


Is the Doner Kebab specifically Turkish? Because of the places near us, 2 are Palestinian, 2 are Greek, one is Moroccan and the other is just general Mediterranean.

And is there a specific meat that's used? Lamb is meat I'm most familiar with here, but also steak and chicken. Not pork though. Sometimes the meat is cooked on a spit and sliced, other times it's ground and cooked in links or patties.

It's really not important. Let's talk about chocolate covered strawberries.

It has to be cooked on a spit and sliced off in order for it to be a true doner kebab. I'm not 100% sure about the meat, though... I think it's a mixture of beef and lamb. Something like that.
