Turkish chef Nusret Gokce, also known as ‘Salt Bae’, is nothing short of a hit on the internet. Ever since a meme about him sprinkling salt on a steak went viral, Gokce became instantly famous online. About 5 years later, the viral Turkish craze has a chain of restaurants called ‘Nusr-Et’ in exotic locations around the world. In September 2021, the London branch of the restaurant chain made waves on the Internet with its exorbitant prices for even the simplest dishes. And now, a video of ‘Salt Bae’ serving steak to British singer Anne Marie has prompted a Reddit user to share. Watch:

In the minute-long video, we can see ‘Salt Bae’ in his signature outfit with a long sword-like knife. British singer Anne Marie sat at the table and waited for the chef to cut the steak and serve it. She was delighted to see the famous Turkish chef in action and even had the chance to salt a steak like the meme itself.
