CZN Burak
Burak Özdemir, also known as CZN Burak, is a Turkish chef and restaurateur. He owns the Hatay Civilizations Table chain of restaurants, which consists of five branches: Taksim, Aksaray, Etiler and overseas branches in Dubai and Tajikistan. CZN, Özdemir’s nickname, originates from a frequent mispronunciation of the Cinzano, the name of his father’s textile shop in Laleli.
His preparation and presentation of Turkish recipes while almost always smiling to the camera have made Özdemir an Internet celebrity on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.
