Article Defining the Current Position of the Gastronomy Field in Turkey(Journal of Culinary Science and Technology, 2021) Seyitoğlu, FarukThe present study aims to investigate and define the current position of the gastronomy field in Turkey. In order to achieve this, interviews were held with academics who are involved in the field of gastronomy. According to the analysis of the data, the nature of gastronomy both as a field and a concept is ‘multi-defined/comprehensive’, has a ‘multi-component’ structure, is ‘interdisciplinary’, ‘lacks a specific (unique) research question’, and ‘is accepted mainly as practical area’. It then became clear that there have been some developments, such as ‘gaining attention and developing as an educational field’, ‘the increase in the number of publications and opportunities to publish’ and ‘the formation of a scientific community’. Some deficiencies and necessities have also emerged that are related to issues as ‘theoretical background’, ‘education’, ‘research area’, ‘the number of publications and opportunities to publish’, ‘methods’ and ‘the ideal gastronomy academic profile’.Article Tourist Experiences of Guided Culinary Tours: The Case of Istanbul(Journal of Culinary Science and Technology, 2021) Seyitoğlu, FarukThe aim of this study is to investigate the culinary experiences of tourists visiting Istanbul, Turkey. This study adopted a qualitative case study method utilizing user-generated content by analyzing travelers’ comments on one of the most popular travel websites. The data was collected between 30 May and 28 June 2019 from travelers’ reviews. The findings show that culinary tour experiences are heterogeneous based on dimensions of guide, food characteristics (taste, variety, flexibility, and availability), educational experience, authentic experience, memorable experience, value/price, socialize/meet people, safety, the hospitality of locals, and satisfaction, recommendation, and revisit intentions. Since there are no previous empirical studies on the culinary tour experience of tourists in the existing literature, it is believed that this study provides a significant contribution to the current knowledge. Moreover, from a managerial perspective, this study provides an in-depth understanding of the culinary tour experience in tourist destinations.
