(01:08) As we step into Sultan Döner Kebab and Baklava on 6th Street in downtown Pittsburgh, owner Sinan Camozu moves with practiced precision as he operates a specialized machine imported from Turkey—one of a kind in our region. From it emerges impossibly thin sheets of phyllo dough, translucent enough to see your hand through, destined to become his extraordinary baklava.(07:43) "Nobody does this other than us," Sinan explains with justified pride. While most restaurants use frozen phyllo, Sinan creates his from scratch in a temperature and humidity-controlled room. The results yield pastries with a remarkable puffiness and delicacy that simply can't be achieved with mass-produced ingredients. The vividly green pistachios nestled within come directly from his wife Fatma's family farm in Turkey, where they tend hundreds of trees.A commitment to authenticity extends throughout the menu. The restaurant's namesake döner (meaning "spinning" in Turkish) features house-marinated meats being stacked and slow-roasted on vertical spits. Even the pita bread receives special attention, baked fresh twice daily rather than just once in the morning.Sinan came to America in 2009 simply to improve his English. "I wanted to explain my foods when I'm cooking to my guests," he shares. What was meant to be a one-year stay evolved into a permanent move and, eventually, the realization of an entrepreneurial dream—opening during the challenging days of the pandemic.Now, with a growing reputation among downtown diners, cultural trust visitors, and sports fans crossing the Clemente Bridge, Sinan has his sights set on expansion. His goal? Selling his handcrafted baklava across the United States. (31:24) Later in the episode, Catherine Montest recommends Albarino as the perfect summer wine for picnics and porch sipping, and Rick Sebak shares his special cowboy cookie recipe featuring ancient grains from Weatherberry Farm. Bring your appetite. Support the showLiked the episode? We'd love a coffee!

The highly popular documentary filmmaker, Rick Sebak, is a native Pittsburgher, who's worked at Pittsburgh's PBS station WQED since 1987.Rick's created dozens of local TV documentaries known collectively as The Pittsburgh History Series, including: “Kennywood Memories,” “What Makes Pittsburgh Pittsburgh?” and “Right Beside The River” as well as many more. He's also produced 15 national programs for PBS including “A Hot Dog Program,” “A Flea Market Documentary” and “A Few Good Pie Places.”I've seen a number of Rick's documentaries and have always been delighted by the way they're put together and especially by the uplifting, wonderfully human stories Rick's work delivers each and every time.Rick has been honored with several regional Emmy Awards and two national Emmy nominations. One Pittsburgh bar even named a drink after him. In 2018, Pittsburgh Magazine named Rick one of the 50 Greatest Pittsburghers Of All Time.  There's even a street named for him in Pittsburgh's Somerset at Frick Park neighborhood.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Sebakhttps://www.wqed.org/history-documentaries-pittsburgh-history-series/https://www.pbs.org/show/the-rick-sebak-collection/

(01:02) What transforms our relationship with food? For Shelly Danko+Day, host of "With Bowl and Spoon" podcast, the answer lies in those pivotal moments that shape our "personal food evolution" - the turning points that fundamentally change how we approach eating, cooking, and sharing meals.(06:52) Shelly's own journey embodies this evolution perfectly. From keeping chickens in Pittsburgh before it was legally sanctioned to working for nearly a decade in urban food policy, she eventually found her calling documenting others' transformative food experiences. "Everybody has a food story," she explains, whether they're award-winning chefs or everyday people who've experienced that perfect bite that changed everything.(20:15) Our conversation reveals how deeply intertwined food is with our identities and histories. Shelly shares touching memories of her grandmother Morley's simple yet profound influence through home-canned tomatoes, which became the foundation for her ultimate comfort food. Her Polish grandmother Helen's homemade pizza business - started after becoming a widow - demonstrates how food becomes not just sustenance but survival and connection.We all experience these food evolutions throughout our lives. Whether it's developing a taste for spicy cuisine (as Shelly did through her husband's influence) or rediscovering a childhood recipe, these moments connect us to culture, community, and our own histories in profound ways. (33:30) Later in the show, Rick Sebak recommends Showcase Barbeque for that perfectly smoked feast, and Pam Luu shares a cheat-code recipe for her mom's Bánh Cuôn, beloved Vietamese rice rolls. Listen to discover the foods that have shaped your own evolution and the stories behind the dishes that might change how you eat forever.Support the showLiked the episode?

(00:55) Rick Sebak occupies a special place in Pittsburgh's cultural landscape. For nearly four decades, he's crafted documentaries that capture the essence of our region, always with a keen eye for how food connects us to place and memory. "I celebrate Pittsburgh," he says simply, though his work does anything but take a simple approach to storytelling.What makes Rick's style so compelling is his deliberate choice to step away from the spotlight. "I never think I'm the story," he explains, preferring what a colleague once called "an explosion of voices" – letting the people he meets tell their own tales. This approach has carried him from showcasing local institutions like Kennywood and the bygone Original Hotdog Shop of Oakland, to traveling cross-country capturing America's diners, bakeries, and shoreline foods for national PBS audiences.(26:10) Our conversation weaves through Rick's formative upbringing with food – from his mother's home-cooked meals in Bethel Park to his transformative years abroad in France and Brazil. These experiences shaped not just his palate but his understanding that food tells our cultural story in ways politics and formal history often miss.(35:35) We explore his current projects, including the upcoming "Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh" premiering April 10th on WQED, featuring stories about Weatherbury Farm's ancient grains and other regional treasures. Rick also shares his latest Pittsburgh food experiences – from the Grant Bar's dual-style pork chops to Chaykhana's Uzbek cuisine in the West End. We end with a wine pick from Catherine Montest to pair with Rick's beloved 'cowboy' cookies. This episode offers a glimpse in cultural storytelling through the lens of what we eat, who prepares it, and how these experiences shape our memories and communities. As Rick puts it, quoting a saying he's adopted: "All food history is written on jello" – acknowledging both the fluidity and the fundamental importance of our culinary traditions.Support the showLiked the episode?

This week, I have the honor of sitting down with the one and only, Mr. Rick Sebak. Rick Sebak is a Public Television Producer, writer, narrator, and exceptional human being. Without naming all his credits, you might know him best from his work in ‘A Hot Dog Program,' ‘PA Diners & Other Roadside Restaurants,‘ or forever loved ‘Kennywood Memories.' Today, Rick celebrated 35 years with WQED. I can't put into words several decades of great work so I'm not going to try. This week, we talk about a plethora of things! Rick tells about keeping busy during a pandemic, Pittsburgh being the Transplant capital of the world at one point, George Romeros connection with Fred Rodgers, his health and making better choices, Kennywood, and so much more. Then after we recorded, Rick took me for a ride in his Mini Cooper. Never would have thought this podcast would lead me to taking a joyride with Mr. Rick Sebak. Just thankful for the opportunities given.
