Kül

Turn on Instagram post notifications to keep track of this very good Turkish pop-up that operates on a sporadic monthly basis. One of the chefs is from Mandolin, and Kül’s food is an extension of the kinds of excellent Aegean flavors you’ll find over there. The menu changes with every event—they’ve grilled in Palma’s parking lot and done a four-course dinner with QP Tapas—but it usually shows off a mix of great small plates like monkfish kebab, burnt carrot and miso hummus, and grilled tilefish collar. Last time we caught them at NIU Wine, we ate a spicy razor clam sandwich and a crispy prawn surrounded by wedges of dreamy ripe tomatoes.
