The burek at Blend’s Bakery has become an unlikely social-media sensation.

Most of the comments were along the lines of “whatever it is, I want one,” and I had to agree. But unlike the majority of people who could only experience these savory pies as ASMR, I was in a position to seek out the real thing since, the source of the video, is, I discovered, located on Staten Island. I wasn’t going to let the Verrazzano Bridge stand in between me and this burek.
Sami told me that he runs the bakery with his wife, Hasime, while their daughter , Bliona, was off. The bakery is named for their son, Blend, who is another fixture in the restaurant, helping guests as needed or just talking a table with his tracksuit-wearing uncle.
At Blend’s, there are always three types of burek on the menu: meat, cheese, and spinach, and a slice of each can be comfortably shared between two people, though a lot of customers will simply order a whole pie to pick up. In addition to burek, they make another baked Albanian specialty, fli, a savory layered crêpe dish that takes four hours to prepare and must be ordered at least a day ahead of time.
