We asked you, our listeners what you wanted to hear next, and you said, “Baklava!”. So our team competed against each other to find the best baklava story:

[03:55] Hebah’s Story: Harissat Al Halaby

[18:35] Alex’s Story: The World’s Largest Baklava

[33:50] Dana’s Story: Mama’s (Burnt) Baklava

Thanks toSceneEats for gifting this episode’s winner with a Nespresso Machine.Thank you to Yahia El Halaby, Nihal, Muharrem Tuna, Fatih Akpinar, Dana’s lovely mom, Ghada, and to Hallie Davison, our listener and friend who suggested the baklava theme for this competition in the first place.
