Friday afternoons are quieter. In the corner is a group of students with Turkish pizzas and fries. About five men enter Ten Beste. Black polo shirts with the Utrecht University logo, trousers with many pockets, sturdy shoes, large bunches of keys on the belt loop. A look from colleague Nurdan (44). Alkan: “Okay if I help out?” He has already lowered a basket of chips into the fryer. Satay croquette, two croquettes, a frikandel, döner sandwich, durum döner, kapsalon, Turkish pizza. A few minutes later the order is ready. “25 years of experience, huh”, Alkan grins. Nurdan shouts out: “Hey tall one, do you want everything on it?”
