An investigation has been launched against food critic Vedat Milor on allegations of 'covert advertising' after he published a video he filmed at a Kent Lokantası (City Restaurant) on his YouTube channel titled "Four Courses for 40 Lira: Is This Price Real?".

It emerged that a complaint was filed against Milor via CİMER on February 10, 2025. As part of the investigation, a 'written opinion' was requested from Milor.

While reactions poured in against the investigation launched into Vedat Milor, master journalist and famous cartoonist Hicabi Demirci drew attention to the deepening poverty and cost of living in Turkey with his latest drawing.
