In the United States, German culture is often reduced to foods like lederhosen, pretzels, and bratwurst, neglecting the iconic doner kebab popular in Germany. Pierre Slack, the owner of Oakland's Black Forest Kitchen, aims to introduce this beloved Berlin street food to the East Bay. Originally from Frankfurt, Slack notes that doner kebab is a staple in multicultural cities like his hometown, where it's enjoyed by all. Despite its European popularity, the doner kebab has yet to find a significant following in the U.S., prompting Slack's initiative to change that.
"The doner, developed in Berlin by a Turkish chef, is a crowd pleaser across Europe, yet the craze hasn't quite caught on in America."
"Slack was used to finding doner on every street corner, as the multicultural blend in Frankfurt is similar to that of Oakland."
