Viewed in Turkey as a continuation to the program Biri Bizi Gözetliyor, which was centered around the daily lives and cooking of people, Yemekteyiz has been the subject of various comedy sketches on different TV shows, including Avrupa Yakası and CoMedya.

Yemekteyiz costs ₺1,200 per episode and due to the popularity it achieved, its format was copied by various TV channels.[2] Examples include ATV's Komşu Komşu, FOX's Tadında Aşk Var and Zuhal Topal'la Sofrada, and Star TV's Yemeğe Bizdeyiz.

Popularity

Sociologists attributed the popularity of the program to the fact that the Turkish people were less likely to read books, and more likely to follow the controversies among the contestants, approve the legitimation of cooking and spending time in the kitchen by TV programs, and favor the format of "winning and losing".[3]

Show TV's Interior Productions Director Caner Erdem stated in his interview that the underlying reason for the popularity of the program was the reality of daily interactions that was reflected in it.[3]

Since the day it has been broadcast in Turkey, the program has garnered a lot of popularity. According to sociologist Zafer Yenal the interest in the public and political arena in recent years, the impact of the world recession and the increasing sequence of interest in many parts of the private sphere are the most important factors that make this program popular in Turkey.[4]
