Kokoreç is a dish of the Balkans and Anatolia consisting mainly of lamb or goat intestines, often wrapping seasoned offal, including sweetbreads, hearts, lungs or kidneys.
Kokoreç is one of the most consumed fast foods in Turkey. Most of it is prepared, cooked and sold in little kiosks and it is a very spicy (albeit not hot) dish, always consumed as white bread sandwich. It can be found throughout the year in these kiosks, it is very cheap for the amount you buy and is also a fairly clean meal. This combination of cheapness, good taste, white bread and commonness make it a perfect quick fast food meal for when one is out of the pubs late in the night. It is a very traditional and fairly easy to prepare food, therefore it is nearly always as tasty as it can get throughout the big cities in Turkey regardless of location. However, some restaurants have managed to rise above the norms, Istanbul's "Şampiyon Kokoreç" is an example here, by adding unique tastes, bread, or preparation methods. It is highly recommended that the first tasting of this meal is done in a known location that is clean, where you know it is prepared with care. I would like to give you some details about Şampiyon Kokoreç.
The brand of Şampiyon was established in 1962, by Galip and Necati Tokgöz. First it was located at Beyoğlu, Taksim. After it was moved to another place in Beyoğlu, which has still been located. In the beginning of 1994, different companies tried to copy Şampiyon Kokoreç; therefore, the brand of Şampiyon was enrolled in order to be the pioneer in this sector.
Now there are 51 Şampiyon Kokoreç branches all around in Turkey as well as in abroad. They aim to serve healthy and quality food to their customers. They keep growing fast and another Şampiyon Kokoreç brunch has been opening monthly.
