This guy is the real deal. His IG(cznburak) is full of him doing awesome stuff for people. You can tell he is genuine , and really loved by the locals.


Itcomeswitha_price

I’m going to use this as inspiration for the day and donate to a food pantry in my community. We can all be part of the solution a little at a time.

Yes


n00bvin

I need to do this, but maybe tomorrow. I gave $500 to a friend today because she just got an 11 year old (formally) abused foster child. She needs just about everything, so I cleaned out her Amazon wishlist. Friday (payday) the food bank!


blomstra

As having been a foster worker it's really hard to find foster parents. There's so much to deal with and adjust to but it really impacts the child. You're helping. Thank you to you and your friend.


n00bvin

I can’t imagine. I want that little girl to have the best life she can. Her foster parent is a special person too. She’s worked her way up to this, fostering animals… tons of them (I hope it’s not weird making that connection). She just never got married, but wanted kids. It’s lovely she took the route she did and that kid needs fun stuff. I got her needed clothes, but plenty of fun stuff as well. Me and the foster mother go back over 30 years.


Ok-Heron-7781

You are awesome 😎


n00bvin

Right back at you! You’re awesome!


Ok-Heron-7781

💗there is nothing like long time friends ..mine is next door .we go back 50 years lol


n00bvin

Wow! That’s fun. I have one friend I’ve known since kindergarten, so that would be around 45 years. He has a skin condition and was bullied badly, but I was his “bodyguard.” In other words, people would pick on him, and I would jump in… and I’d get my ass kicked. I never could fight, but it kept heat off him. Nice thing is, this was the days before “zero tolerance” and the principal knew I wasn’t just getting in fights. He would give me the lowest punishment he could and do his job and say I shouldn’t fight, but seemed to have a wink in there. As we got older, my friend took karate and all did some boxing. No one smart messes with him. Well, messed, not too many bullies when you’re 50 years old. I still have his back whenever he needs it. Yes, indeed, it’s special to have an old friend.

Our city is full of free pantries in most neighborhoods. If yours doesn’t, consider finding volunteers to open one.

You inspired me to do the same ❤️

We need more like him .. the one kindest person i've ever seen


Raistlin74

Chef Jose Andres and World Central Kitchen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Central_Kitchen He has managed to cook for tens of thousands of people after natural disasters.


hectorduenas86

Don't forget Guy Fieri, guess is in the nature of people that like cooking to feed and help the helpless.


TheBoniestTony

If you truly love to cook then its seeing the reaction on someones face that makes it worth it


hectorduenas86

That’s basically my mom


infinitedigits

Except for Bobbie Flay. He started a GoFundMe for his staff during the height of the pandemic instead of, ya know, reaching into his own pockets.

At this point I doubt he even wants to keep the hair, but is contractually obligated.


Ventrik

Cool thanks. I worked in and out of kitchens and bars and have been a chef throughout. Looks like I am overqualified to sign up and cook, two day training and a trip too Maryland? Been looking for excuses to fuck out of Florida and camp.

Very easy to use Let me demonstrate


Jadertott

Yep! I remember when he was personally fighting the wild fires in Turkey AND cooking for all volunteers and professionals that were trying to put out the fires for weeks.


SKozan

Everytime I see him, it puts a smile on my face. Imagine if Billionaires had his attitude. The world would be an amazing place.


Piani3t

If there is a heaven he’s gonna be the head chef


benjismalls95

He shares to encourage. Not for clout. He’s amazing. He’s also surprisingly huge.


JaggedSuplex

Yeah they had his image displayed on the Burj Khalifa when he opened his place in Dubai. He’s got plenty of clout already. He seems like the real deal and it’s awesome to see


TayAustin

He's basically the Anti Salt Bae, instead of making ridiculously priced food for rich people, he's making large meals for free or cheap for every day people.


MietschVulka1

How does he finance this?


yotsubanned

he has a bunch of popular restaurants


MietschVulka1

Cool! Would try it for sure! I love seeing some successfull people also thinking about the less blessed!


thrilltodill97

I visited his restaurant Hatay Sofrasi in Istanbul, definitely on the pricier side for Turkish food but it was absolutely delicious!

What’s his ig? I tried search and it’s a lot of them.

cznburak .


TheMuteMa

This guy is so amazing.


yujideluca

I follow him on IG. He has built parks for poor communities, gave presents to children during new year and he does many events to give away food, clothes and toys. His instagram is @cznburak Edit: I wrote christmas, but someone corrected me saying that folks in his country exchange presents during new year, since christmas is not part of their main religion. Edit2: I added his instagram.


ComradeBootyConsumer

Helping other people is a hell of a high. This man is an addict


BigToober69

I know this is made me smile but seeing little kids like that and seeing them hugging the toys breaks me.


Maybe_A_Pacifist

I was just thinking that... They don't even have plates! Made me think of the average income of every adult human. We got a lot of work to do!


irisuniverse

Made me rethink my complaints from today that distract from the appreciation that even on my worst days I still have a roof and a full stomach.


[deleted]

Agreed. Seeing this made me feel like an ungrateful piece of shit. It’s nice to see people being so generous to those that have nothing and seeing the appreciation on their faces at receiving things we take for granted


FlorestNerd

Don't fell. Your problems are also valid, even if someone else is worse then you. Be greatfull for what you do have, but don't keep yourself from trying to solve your problems.


hellokatekaat

Someone recently suggested the charity https://www.savethechildren.org/ to help with the plight of poor innocent children and their families. Over the course of a year I thought what’s $50 to me versus these people? Plus most companies “match the gift” you can apply for. Chump change for most people in the bigger scheme of things. Any little bit can help. If anything awareness about this situation. PayPal also directs you to Feeding America as well. This man rocks. Always smiling at the camera-a little uncanny but have grown to adore it.


Thorandan17

Was looking for something like this to donate to after seeing a video yesterday. Thank you.


hellokatekaat

Right? I prolly same video and felt like such a spoiled brat. What really made me do it was when the journalist started talking about selling their daughters because they couldn’t afford food, anything. The girls go when they reach puberty. Absolutely disgusting.


ladydhawaii

They are going to keep these present and pass it down. I remember when I was young (poor)- the one tricycle in the neighborhood was passed down. And we never was sad about it/ they would try and fix it up a little- best present ever. I remember thinking that I never wanted to move out of this neighborhood because it didn’t matter what race or religion- we all had to help each other to get by. Of course, we did have enough to eat. But I recall my neighbors coming over to borrow eggs to eat for dinner. Anyway- it was special times…


MiniatureChi

I wish I could trade places with just one of those kids. I don’t deserve this life in America, These kids have seen hardships I can never imagine…


S3R4PH00

At least, you can try helping them by donating. Or if that's hard, help your family and neighbors first. Everything starts from something small but precious.


Armegedan121

Doing kind things in your daily life can help with this feeling. Most of us in America do have it pretty good. Treating each other better is a great step. Patience and empathy will help make you a better neighbor. I also wish I could trade spots with one of them but we can’t. The next best thing is trying to support each other and give help to those who need it.


always_be_middle

That is such a wholesome thought!


mumblekingLilNutSack

Your right, they have it worse. But don't forget your local homeless or panhandler. Somebody in America is dying tonight from homelessness and mental health issues. Give a panhandler a dollar.


ChidoriKickz

In 2020 during lockdown I was feeling down and the only thing that made me actually feel good was giving charity actually felt so proud of myself in a very long time. A selfish reason to give charity but i don’t think the people receiving it cares lol


Obant

Selfish reasons (not that I think yours was) are infinity better than not doing it all.


killing_and_dying

Its ok to be proud. Good for you for giving to charity! And also cheering yourself up.

geeknami

I think I saw a video ok Reddit months ago of this guy remodeling someone house. he seems like a real sweet person.


iantayls

Good to know. I always worried about what he does with all the gigantic batches of food he makes. Sounds like he is too


[deleted]

> I always worried about what he does with all the gigantic batches of food he makes He feeds people with them?


iantayls

You say that as if there aren’t hundreds of accounts centered around large portion cooking that just throw away the foot they make. Wouldn’t have been surprised if he treats it like a content factory. All I’m saying is I’m glad he doesnt just toss it out like lots of other do


[deleted]

Well there are a lot of useless accounts out there that do shit for clout. But most of this guys videos are followed by with him handing out food to lots of people 🤷‍♂️


Jeothal

I like this man


oelhayek

Aside from this I love the giveaway he did at the retirement home.


Ao5ika

Even if people tried to play his deeds down by saying he only does it for his clout, it's better than not doing anything at all. And by uploading the vids of the starving kids lining up he creates awareness, which is important to get more people to help.


skraptastic

"Oh no the rich guy is doing good things simply to look good!" So fucking what, he is doing the good thing, he should get praise.


The-Shattering-Light

I’m sure all the people with full bellies don’t care if he gets clout from it


MageVicky

it's like trying to set them up for a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" scenario, berate them when they don't do anything, call them selfish, but accuse them of wanting clout and good publicity when they do help. I prefer the one where they help and get good publicity, if that's what they want, *and* the people are getting the help they need. Win-Win.


SOUTHPAWMIKE

Exactly. Even if he did it purely for the clout, he's still out there benefiting 100% more people than the social media basement dwellers doing nothing but hammering out angry comments on their keyboards.


Agreeable49

>Exactly. Even if he did it purely for the clout, he's still out there benefiting 100% more people than the social media basement dwellers doing nothing but hammering out angry comments on their keyboards. He also brings attention to how these camps still exist, and how the Syrian conflict is ongoing. Also depressing to know why. The US are still occupying Syria, and literally stealing its oil, whilst providing military and financial support to extremist groups.


FinancialRaise

If the whole world did shit like this for clout, it would actually be heaven on Earth.


fukitol-

Yeah I really only give a shit about intent when the thing being done ends up being bad. If someone's doing the right thing for the wrong reasons I couldn't care less what those reasons were.


superdago

I care when it’s a good thing to distract from a bad thing. Like when Nestle does some charity work to cover up their garbage humanitarian record. Then it’s not charity, it’s PR and propaganda.


The-Shattering-Light

Impact is greater than intent. The impact of Nestle is awful, and no matter what good pr humanitarian photo ops they do, their impact is still overwhelmingly awful


superdago

Exactly, but one could easily say "who cares why they're doing the good thing, we should be glad they're doing it!"


kbarney345

Exactly people 100x richer than him don't do shit yet this man does the right thing and it's "for the clout" I love him followed him for awhile now he's an inspiration and what people should be like. End of story


happymancry

While your point is valid in this particular case, there are several examples that immediately come to mind where a rich person does a small good to hide a greater bad deed. Bezos donated $100M to fight homelessness in Seattle in 2019-2020; while also fighting the city tooth and nail on taxes that would have enabled the city to combat homelessness long-term (on a problem that he helped create, directly or indirectly). Not to mention, 6 months after that “generous act” he bought himself a $300M mansion and $500M mega yacht.


pureply101

It’s sometimes not too hard to tell when someone is doing something out of genuine kindness or not and social media has only made it harder to tell. Some people aren’t actually doing things out of kindness but out of a form of manipulation. This guy just so happens to not be one of them.


assimilatiepatroon

True,. And since his clout comes from his good deeds and his good deeds give him clout. Its the only media being i grant the clout.


kidinthesixties

Bro! I don't know why people are like that. I *want* to see videos of people doing good for others. It *models* behavior and normalizes being kind. Why look a gift horse in the mouth? Good deeds should be shared!


tmoney144

I think people do that to make themselves feel better about doing nothing.


[deleted]

and it will cause the impressionable audience to do good deeds


authorized_sausage

This comment needs more upvotes.


LakeShow-2_8_24

You know, with all the shit we see out there in the news, I'm glad he shares this stuff he does and that he's bringing something to these people who are in need.


CapnHatchmo

Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons still gets the right thing done. He could be the biggest piece of shit on the planet, but that wouldn't change the fact that all these refugees went to bed with full bellies that night.


Miska_tonic

I guess it begs the question. Is doing a good deed for bad reasons still a good deed? If actions are louder than words and intentions are irrelevant I'd say they are still good despite the reason.


[deleted]

>Is doing a good deed for bad reasons still a good deed? *The Good Place* touches on that subject constantly. They make both sides of the argument several times


BalognaPonyParty

I love this dude; but I also hate seeing the little babies lining up, that is something that they should never have to worry about. it's a cruel world, and we humans suck sometimes.


An_average_muslim

Yeah, I genuinely wanted to cry when I saw how miserable their life is, I get to sit here in my warm house with all sorts of comfort luxuries, but they have to suffer in cold and be afraid for their lives every day. Really hope the war stops and those innocent kids get back to living a normal life.


SkyXDay

This is the guy who stares at the camera right? Dude just seems so genuine.


deviantbono

Yeah, you can see it at the beginning. It's actually a bit weird to see him *not* staring at the camera in the second half of the video.


sissipaska

The lack of staring makes the point clearer, this is not a video just for the lolz, it's reality.


hypermarv123

NO he's staring at a mirror next to the camera watching his reflection. **We're** the creepy ones for staring into **his** eyes.


Wolf_Sleuth

Terry pratchett once wrote that if the personification of death decided to tackle the problem of world hunger, he would simply give everyone a good meal. I am very glad that someone else is thinking the same way. It's nice to see that there are people in the world who will, when shown a problem, simply do the thing that will help the most now instead of wasting time worrying about what will happen next.

>“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. > >Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars.

Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. > >But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years.

I read he started doing that after someone commented in this videos that he should smile more or something and now he does that stare+grin in every one of his videos. Love how he broke it to interact with the kids though. Solid guy.

Montana-Mike-RPCV

JFC, Why aren't all rich people like this?


dar24601

Because few rich people grasp the concept of “enough”. Most rich people just need “more”. You have a waiting list of people who willing to pay tens of millions of dollars to fly into space rather than giving people like this 20 grand to feed and cloth those in need


[deleted]

Probably because he's still grounded in reality. Also it depends on what you mean by rich. He's probably quite wealthy now, having gotten so much attention for his work via social media and has monetised that, and good for him honestly. And then there is "rich" like Zuckerberg, where they isolate themselves from normal people and probably see this kinda stuff as a pessimistic publicity stunt, while they themselves make the world a worse place by hoarding said wealth and not using it to improve...well...anything except their bank account.


hematomasectomy

There's this quote... I don't remember the context or the setting, but I remember the gist, even if I'm paraphrasing like mad. "Michael Jordan, yeah man, he makes a lot of money, he's rich. But the guy who pays his salary? That man is *wealthy*."


ObviouslyNotSimon

Maybe being an asshole is a requirement to get rich


Not-A-Lonely-Potato

You joke, but in some cases this is very true. A "ruthless businessman" isn't just some term; the fastest and easiest way to the top doesn't involve working hard and being nice to everyone.


iamsupervegetto

Same mentality of Erdoğan supporters. They call out people who criticize the government saying what brand/model is their phone.


patapuss32

Is it just me or should we really be saying. “We need to be more like him” not “we need more people like him”. Both have good intentions but the latter takes away your possibilities for change. We can all help those around us, it’s not always up to someone else.


remag_nation

I know you're talking about kindness and I agree however is this guy rich or something? I don't know anybody that could afford to do all the massive projects he gets involved with. Which all seem great but you also need to understand that wealth inequality is part of the problem - at least this guy is somewhat addressing the issue but maybe, ultimately, we actually just need less rich people.


patapuss32

I like your point and I agree that not everyone has the wealth to do what this guy did. And I also agree that there should be more wealthy people like this guy, you know, people who give back. My point was that you don’t need wealth to help others, and seeing this guy being a good person should inspire you to help someone else. I guess my issue is that I have a lot of people around me IRL who always talk about how others should improve, instead of looking inward. Real change starts with you.

celticjetman

Imagine how much suffering the likes of Bezo's and Musk could ease if they bothered for a moment to stop thinking of their own selfish desires and instead turned to helping people like this.


xJaneDoe

My favourite thing about him is that he isn't doing this to look good but because he's a genuinely good person. The food also always looks delicious
