Overview
The world was shocked by the devastating news on Monday with a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hitting the border of Turkey and Syria. The disaster caused catastrophic damage and has led to the death of more than 11,000 people. In response, Turkish-born chef and owner of Maydanoz, Somer Sivrioglu, will be hosting an earthquake relief barbecue at his Wynyard venue.
This Sunday, February 12, the barbecue will see the Turkish-inspired bar and restaurant transformed into a kebab house — serving up adana, chicken kebab rolls and gozleme accompanied by Efes Pilseners. Plus, there will also be Turkish coffee and delights on offer.
Expect a family-friendly vibe with Turkish music playing at the venue for patrons to enjoy. Or, you can take your treats away to Wynyard Park for a picnic. 100 percent of proceeds from the day will be donated to the AFAD and AHBAP relief funds in Turkey to aid victims of the earthquake.
You can also contribute to the relief fund with the purchase of a hamper that includes some extra Turkish goodies and a copy of Somer's book. These will be available at Maydanoz as well as its sister restaurant, Anason, in Barangaroo.
So get down to Maydanoz this Sunday to enjoy some delicious Turkish cuisine for a good cause.
