“Excuse me, but what in the name of what is a ‘Salt Bae’?”
Good thing you asked, reader friend! Because we’re about to explain this whacky phenomena for you. Thank us later.
Let me introduce Nusret Gokce, a Turkish restaurant owner who has a truckload of Instagram fans and a rumoured nine children. Yep, nine.
Here he is looking like a seedy Bachelor contestant with a cigar.
And here he is looking like he needs to explosively fart.
Here he is being a freakin’ meat whisperer.
And here he is, um, erotically touching a piece of meat.
But, most importantly, here is the video that shot Salt Bae to worldwide superstardom and probably landed him a cajillion sponsorship deals with various condiment brands.
In case you missed that last lil’ bit, let’s relive it.
Vintage Salt Bae.
Salt Bae’s medium level of internet fame has now catapulted to the stars thanks to the above video (which has amassed 3.3 million views so far) and his ~fancy salting~ technique.
Naturally, he’s taken the interwebs by bloody storm.
There you have it, folks. As always, it’s been weird, Internet. It’s been really freakin’ weird.

LoL. He really reached social media stardom at world level, but being an instagram celeb was just a side-job for him. He was already known in Turkey by owning the most famous high-end meat restaurant in the country, and he was already making hell good money out of it, when he started to post those vids.. But I am sure he will be willing to expand this celebrity status to a new level.
I don't know what this is, but I like it!
