The thing is, even back then when Salt Bae was at his absolute peak, people had still thought his food was overpriced and quite average, this was bound to happen.
I am from Turkey and I went to one of his restaurants before he became famous. Let alone the whole world he was not even very famous in Turkey. During the time when this was the case, his food was actually great. It was not cheap but nowhere near as expensive as today and it was delicious. At least as worthy as it would be for the way it tasted. Everything went ridiculous when he became worldwide famous. He became more of an influencer than a cook and a restaurant owner. I went to one of his places after he became famous and the difference in prices and the taste was just mind-blowing.
honestly he let all that fame get to his head if he just stopped when his 15 minutes were up and returned to making food with passion, he wouldnt be as hated as he is today, and his empire likely wouldnt crumble the way its going
@baeZipster he shouldn't have did that shit at world cup! That's when it all fell of for him. Worse he never apologized or took down the pictures. When they asked him why he did he replies "I just felt like it" what a 🤡
It's insane how many people STILL go to his restaurant despite all the shit he's done, it's like they are either living under a rock or they support his actions
Right? For the money he charges for 1 steak you could actually wine and dine in Michelin 3 star restaurant. Some people will always have more money than sense
my classmate said "it will be worth it, its covered in gold so it means its good" i didn't even try to convince him because he is very pushy about what he says
well he did get extremely rich out of it... like not just viral, globally restaurant chef rich with just one meme, which is extreme. It just shows how important his online persona is for his business and why he has to act and be that person for his business to flourish. It was obviouse that such a trend restourant cant keep its profit high forever, which he should shurely know, knowing that everything is dependant on his online persona. I think its that dependancy on his online persona which made him act more crazy and over the top even more... And not defending him, but if you search you can find bad experiances on every restaurant there is... and i also ate once in his restaurant and also actually met him, and you could see that he is constantly in some sort of persone, which has to be exausting i would guess... (and before you think bad of me, i went to his restaurant in turkey, where i ordered steak and salat for like 30€) You can understand his ego and can argue that he sometimes needs to keep it a notch down. The only critiqe i would have is that they put more work in the food quality than in the show...
More importantly society SERIOUSLY needs to reevaluate who they idolize. People should be given respect and admiration based off their character and achievements NOT some dumb gimmick or how they look and dress.
@@okdo5144Yeah one thing I’ll give him is he caught the ball and RANNNNNNNN 🏃🏾♂️💨 with it. He could give a master class on how to capture a viral moment and make it STRECH 😂
What's really sad is that in his early career, Nusret was a rather decent person and optimistic chef, passionate about food, with decent prices. Then he had a little bit of success, it went immediately went straight to his head. All of his decency and culinary know-how went right out the window in exchange for the flash and bang of viral trends and excess.

@@josephleebob3828 his combined treatment of other people and astonishment when people say something about him. His sense entitlement and lack of situational awareness, which lead to the World Cup fiasco. His poor business practices and alleged willful deceit of customers (the whole wrong steak incident), and threat of calling the police instead of working issue out, which lead to over an extra $1000 pear steak the man had to pay. His lack of self awareness and huge ego. He literally thinks children aspire to be like him, and that he made a job that was (according to him) undesirable before he showed up one of the biggest growing career fields. He’s a clown and a douche.
His food actually is good and reasonably priced in most of the locations. I had it in Qatar during the world cup, he came to each table and was very hospitable. My parents still say its the best steak they've had
Overall, I think Salt Bae's downfall is a sad but inevitable story. He was a flash in the pan who rode the wave of hype to success. But now that the hype has died down, he's being exposed for what he really is: a mediocre chef with a good marketing team.
Saltbae doesn’t actually own ANY of his restaurants other than his original one. It’s owned by investors who basically contract him to turn up at various locations. Even if they all close he will be fine. Unfortunately.
If they close they stop paying him so all about reducing what he is going in like a small leak in a fuel tank might seem fine but only a matter of time before it runs out
@@basillah7650 Saltbae still owns the original restaurant in Turkey. If he sells everything and pays the investors back, he'll still have a reasonably good business to keep him employed in his native country, so he'll never be broke or homeless. As much as people want him to be under a bridge or in a dark alleyway with a tip cup, I don't see that happening, and he still has enough fame to his name to ask for help if he really needs it.
As a descendant of many many chefs, i just want to let you in on a secret: edible gold foil is tricky to work with, but it's also like $10. Not a typo. He was charging $1000 for $30 in gold foil, meat, s&p. Incredible the a*holes that liked him because he sprinkled salt in a weird way onto food.
Most of us just thought it was funny how he sprinkled salt and shared memes of him for a couple weeks. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Most people continuing the memes and sprinkling salt like him don’t know anything about his controversies. I hadn’t heard of any of this before now. I knew his restaurants were highway robbery but I’ve never even had the opportunity to go to one so never though about it deeply. So yeah the “assholes that liked him cuz he sprinkled salt weird” have no idea about any of this and were just having fun. Don’t get mad at us, get mad at Nusr-et
I don't think its people's issue. It's not about the product or quality, he built a fake luxury empire and people eat their to flex and spend the money they can. I would never do that cuz I grew up poor but I can understand people mentality
@@Mac-po1sr I think a chef would know the importance of presentation, but I dont think a slab of meat with gold wrapped around it is some work of Leonardo Da Vinci
I think I should get some edible gold and sprinkle it on random food just so that more people know that. Honestly we should just sell it in regular supermarkets so that ppl knew how cheap it actually is
exhibit a: tiktok npc's no hate on them making bank its just the people that give them money is already an indication of how 'let people have fun' is destroying this planet
Saltbae’s success is just another reflection of how silly human is, the people that build him up to where he is now. He is not the issue, the people that “approved” him is.
@@Godloveszaza no, just no lol. You'd have to be very dumb to act like this dude n do the things he did, n anyone who refuses to go to his restaurant already passed the iq test
The quality ultimately speaks for itself. They push out food that is sometimes garbage, sometimes good, but with prices far exceeding even some michelin star restaurants. The gold is just tacky.
We went to Pierre Gagnieres in Paris a few months before Covid struck. Entire bill, 3 courses plus a bottle of wine and aperitifs, for 2 people was round about 1000 Euro including service. Great food, this was pre-remodel so decor lovely but a bit out dated, service was good, and still less than one of his gold plated steaks. Your point stands and I agree wholeheartedly. This guys restaurants are not near the same ballpark at 5 times the price.
Some? I'd wager most if you let any goldleaf reach your table at the Saltbae restaurant. The michelin restaurant I worked at wasn't the most expensive one, so probably not the best comparisson. But you could dine there for just over €100,- per person (though most often it was more, especially depending on the wine). But I bet most 1-star restaurants are cheaper than those thousand dollar steaks with 10 dollars worth of goldleaf on them.
Fun fact, the gold that they use is quite low quality just generic gold leave; meaning that you could make the same steaks as the restaurant for about £50, which is hideously low.
How can we trust someone that doesnt even properly research that Czechoslovakia is not a country anymore and that there is nothing like "Czechoslovakian language"?
Ikr, as a Turkish person i was really proud of Gökçe as he comes from a really poor Kurdish family and he worked really hard to achieve everything. Even before becoming famous he owned several restaurants in Istanbul which were known for excellent quality.

@@RahbinahI think what he means, is that 275x2=550 and that’s just for the meat. No drinks, no sides or desert. Which would mean he went in ready to pay around 1k or a little less I would assume

@@RustyWells2 why am I watching a video pointing out the wrongs of a social media star therefore giving validation to my original point? God who knows?...

Yeah it was fkn lame as hell!!just goes to show you lots of ppl are easily amused.but like you said, dudes arm hair and skin flakes all in the food.........FK THAT!!
tbh that was just one part of his whacky antics. he had other videos of him preparing meat in funny ways before that specific salt one got super popular, so he went all in on that
the outrage after he touched the world cup was insane and very justified imagine completing your life's goal after all the football training and an instagram star waltzes up to you takes your trophy and bites a winners medal. Simply insane.
@@ramonbriones4487 Yeah, because one of the best football teams of the world with decades of history in the WC and many professional elite players needs salt bae to be famous in a highly competitive worldwide sport that has nothing to do with food.
Salt Bae doesn't even realize he's a living parody. There are chefs that dedicate their entire lives towards mastering food. They spend years and years trying for a michelin star, making the best quality dishes possible, and then you have a clown walk in making normal steaks covered in gold.. and then he has the audacity to think he's providing anything of value. Obviously he's going to be hated by anyone who isn't thick skulled
His whole business was to attract Instagram/tiktok/Twitter mindless sheeps that are desperately gaping for attention, and in breaks between posting their assess on the pictures pretending to be landscapes, they eat food that had the more internet attention. And whatever covered in gold is anything that Instagram "traveler" sheep needs
Crazy thing is he stumbled on a golden chance to create a good business without the controversy but instead off letting go off the extreme social media bait he doubled down and destroyed his chance
He is the prime example of 1.most media personalities especially "influencers" are trash 2. Fame does not necessarily mean you are good at what you do, just like how expensive food does not mean it's quality gourmet 3. A good majority of people have mediocre taste buds, they can't differentiate good meat, sushi, wine nor coffee etc (but they pretend they can)
Oh can you imagine all those newly made rich guys pretending to like the expensive steak or wine which in reality was much cheaper and an absolute trash 😅
@@AHLDNProbably didn’t have a good one. With steak you really gotta make it yourself or go somewhere really good. It’s all in the cut of steak + how you season it.

It really depends on the type of business you're running. If you're selling food, then yeah, it's not a good idea. However, if you're selling short-lived fame, then maybe? After all, the guy was never famous for his food in the first place.

For anyone whos wondering what Týnuš Třešničkovás story was (The czech youtuber who suffered burns at Salt Baes restaurant) 4 years ago in September, she and her boyfriend (Who happenned to be a fan of Salt bae) wanted to go on a vacation to Cappadocia. But since there are no direct flights from Czech republic to Cappadocia, they had to fly to Instambul where they wanted to spend a day and then get on the plane to Cappadocia the next day. They visited some landmarks in Istambul and had a reservation for Salt baes restaurant in the evening. Even though they were really tired after the whole day, they went to the restaurant in hopes of meeting Salt bae. Apparently they had to wait in the restaurant for approx. 40 minutes after getting there even though they had a reservation. So after that they were sent to a bar, where they were suppossed to wait, untill some table is free. So while waiting at the bar, there was this groove in the bars desk, which had some unknown liquid inside of it. The bartender took some kind of ignition tool, lit up the liquid in the groove, and it made a little fire. Then another bartender came, with lots of the unknown liquid and started pouring it into the groove and at that moment it exploded. (you can also check out a video of the incident, a lot of people were recording it, since they thought it was gonna be some kind of fire show) and yea basically she was set on fire and suffered some serious burns.

His restaurant burns an innocent woman while he was mistreating employees, the world slept. He touched a trophy without permission, the world wants to crucify him. We live in a clown world. I hope one day the lady gets some form of justice for what happened to her.
To be fair as someone who lives in asia ive never heard of the news about his restaurant torching someone alive, but i have heard of the world cup incident
well if he burned that woman at the world cup he would probably get much more hate, you also have to include the fact that the world cup was a really popular event, but yeah I will still agree that people take stuff like the world cup more seriously
I only knew salt bae from the internet meme. I only know lil tiny bit about his restaurant from internet. Idk about this woman, i only know her bcoz you, stranger from the internet tell me. Ive been watching football/soccer since 7 years old in tv before internet era. I know popular football/soccer event like world cup, ucl, uefa, EPL etc from tv. Many people had same experience with me about knowing football and world cup. Also, world cup its not a new sport event, it founded 93 years ago. Many people from many generation know world cup. Thats why world cup is popular event. Why the hell saltbae was so popular in the first place? Its bcoz internet make him famous. Trully clown world indeed.
As long as the mindless social media drones exist, people like him are not going anywhere. You can't really "cancel" a guy who will take anything for publicity.

I think Salt Bae's downfall is a cautionary tale about the dangers of relying on hype. When you build your brand on something as superficial as a salting technique, it's only a matter of time before people realize that there's nothing of substance behind it.
Not to mention that being an influencer is much more likely to be a detriment to your finances than a boon. Sure you can make massive money for a while, but even the most successful influencers have their career last only about a decade at the most before it’s flatlined and you have to live off of those savings for the rest of your life. You can’t really get a job after too because you lack a majority of the work experience everyone else has and your a decade older, and maybe a little controversial, nobody would really want to hire you for most positions and you can’t blame them
@AzureWolf168 exactly like, look at The Paul brothers, they have given up on everything that is about personal life so they can remain popular among people. Thats how they grew up , like parasites.

I usually take it as a rule of thumb that any restaurant that becomes a viral Internet sensation is usually overhyped and not at all worth it. And honestly I'm surprised Salt Bae stayed relevant for as long as he did.
What makes it so unbelievably insane is, that all he ever did was putting salt on a steak in a weird way. That's it and that's all he defined by. And the way he's desperately still doing it like "remember me? The salt guy?" is very sad and pathetic
Many people i know went to the Restaurant in NYC before corona, early late 30 year old guys. But after Corona i did nothing beside the Trophy incident.

That makes no sense if the information is available. It’s like me saying one plus one is either two or three - technically I’m not wrong but it sounds dumb as hell.
In Salt Bae's case, his business plan was to sprinkle salt on food and his product was mediocre steaks. It's no surprise that his empire is starting to collapse.
@AzureWolf168 Oh god, don't remind me that he once was cutting a steak in his usual over the top sexual way in a table with 2 adults and like 2 children (he fed the child in his usual way, disgusting freak)
Ate at the Miami location two times with close friends and ordered two standard burgers cleverly not shown on the menu. Felt the entire time like they were being passive aggressive about us not going for the more pricey options and decided to ignore us when we asked for the bill we we observed them talking . Took over 25 or 30 minutes before they finally hesitantly came to giving us the bill .
I think this is a American thing. American always hate people who are poor and then make fun of them. I have seen this happening with an old couple in restaurant. People were hating them because they were on a budget. Calling them cheap.
The fact that this guy EVER got to the where he did in the first place...was algorithm madness. Who wants to pay some sweaty guy put salt on your 15 dollar steak that you pay 5 grand for?
He charges thousands for a simple steak+$5 gold leaf. The only ones propping up his businesses were people who thought they had too much money. It wasn’t going to be sustainable

And besides, even if the food is heaven, you’ll never catch me spend thousands on a meal. If I was rich I’d still eat for normal prices.
His story is just so odd. When Nusret opened up his first resturant in İstanbul, I swear that was the best steakhouse I've seen and I've been to some very good ones. He was there all the time, personally attending the kitchen and he was very humble and friendly. He was always visiting tables and be attentive to any kind of feedback. Obviously this Salt Bae stuff hadn't started and he was just this very talented chef with an amazing restaurant. His rise actually did not start with the salt video. Since the restaurant was good, in time it became very popular, lead to him opening up more restaurants in Turkey, as well as abroad. Which definitely started to lower the quality of the meals and these ridiculous shows started to take place. Then the salt video came and the rest his history. So weird that nice, friendly chef turned into this Instagram star.

What Sunny fails to mention is that those "gold" flakes are literally from the dollar store. They make a regular steak becoming more expensive by sprinkling it with some cheap gold shavings.

The problem with Salt Bae isn't really about his image on the internet, but his restaurant business. People might look at him in a different way if he actually serves god-like food while being the egotistic person that he is. You can have as much ego as you want as a restaurant owner but the food speaks for itself.
Take Gordan Ramsay for example. A lot of people think he is an arrogant narcissist (even though he really isn't). But it's the fact that he is a damn good chef that nullifies a lot of that criticism.
Then why people still come to his restaurant? Why keep generating his income? Theres no way he open new branch if theres no demand from the customer itself..
I've worked in restaurants all my life, that gold foil is about 10-20 dollars to add to steak. It's tough to work with but not "1000$" difficult. Even the 275$ tomahawk steak looked grossly overpriced for how basic it appeared, I guess it could taste better than it looks though

At first he looked like such a nice and cool person when his first meme was popular but, as he got even more successful, he started to show his true color, revealing he was truly a jerk and someone you should not trust. he committed some unforgivable things that led to his downfall and hare against him.
The worst thing so far for me it's that he combines 25-30 dollars food and 3-5 dollars worth of edible gold foil to charge people over a 100 dollars each meal. It's one of the biggest scams ever attempted and the fact that he just got away with it in every single one of his restaurants infurates me
What baffles me most about the video is not that psycho falling from his throne, but the fact that in 2023 someone is ignorant enough to believe that Czechoslovakia is a country and that Czechoslovakian is an actual language. It's about time to update your maps out there in New Holland!
@@oghuztelorman7057 It makes him look like a fool more than anything. Also lowers his credibility in other areas as well. It must have been mentioned in the articles he read that she is Czech.
Even his apology seems extremely insincere and attention driven. That and his treatment of staff or people around him just shows that his ego is more inflated than his steak house price and it takes more than a few bad press reports to truly humble him
For a guy who's only exposure to this guy was his initial vine, learning all this has happened to him is absolutely mind blowing. I didn't even know he had restaurants!
Every time this guy is mentioned I ask, "Who?" and then "Oh, that guy." Then I promptly forget him until the next time someone mentions him and I ask, "Who?" again.
Anyone paying $1500 for a $50 steak because they drop the salt in front of your face clearly isn’t responsible with their money, and the banks who loaned him money clearly were smoking something too😂

I am from Turkey and I went to one of his restaurants before he became famous. Let alone the whole world he was not even very famous in Turkey. During the time when this was the case, his food was actually great. It was not cheap but nowhere near as expensive as today and it was delicious. At least as worthy as it would be for the way it tasted. Everything went ridiculous when he became worldwide famous. He became more of an influencer than a cook and a restaurant owner. I went to one of his places after he became famous and the difference in prices and the taste was just mind-blowing.

Right? For the money he charges for 1 steak you could actually wine and dine in Michelin 3 star restaurant.

And the quality is superior, i have no ideas why people think 3 star restaurants is mediocre

my classmate said "it will be worth it, its covered in gold so it means its good" i didn't even try to convince him because he is very pushy about what he says
Salt bae is the perfect example of why you can't let fame go to your head if you're just a one trick pony.
he was always a douchebag from the start though.
well he did get extremely rich out of it... like not just viral, globally restaurant chef rich with just one meme, which is extreme. It just shows how important his online persona is for his business and why he has to act and be that person for his business to flourish. It was obviouse that such a trend restourant cant keep its profit high forever, which he should shurely know, knowing that everything is dependant on his online persona.
I think its that dependancy on his online persona which made him act more crazy and over the top even more...
And not defending him, but if you search you can find bad experiances on every restaurant there is...
and i also ate once in his restaurant and also actually met him, and you could see that he is constantly in some sort of persone, which has to be exausting i would guess... (and before you think bad of me, i went to his restaurant in turkey, where i ordered steak and salat for like 30€)
You can understand his ego and can argue that he sometimes needs to keep it a notch down. The only critiqe i would have is that they put more work in the food quality than in the show...
More importantly society SERIOUSLY needs to reevaluate who they idolize. People should be given respect and admiration based off their character and achievements NOT some dumb gimmick or how they look and dress.

As a descendant of many many chefs, i just want to let you in on a secret: edible gold foil is tricky to work with, but it's also like $10. Not a typo. He was charging $1000 for $30 in gold foil, meat, s&p. Incredible the a*holes that liked him because he sprinkled salt in a weird way onto food.
Most of us just thought it was funny how he sprinkled salt and shared memes of him for a couple weeks. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Most people continuing the memes and sprinkling salt like him don’t know anything about his controversies. I hadn’t heard of any of this before now. I knew his restaurants were highway robbery but I’ve never even had the opportunity to go to one so never though about it deeply. So yeah the “assholes that liked him cuz he sprinkled salt weird” have no idea about any of this and were just having fun. Don’t get mad at us, get mad at Nusr-et
Edible gold is even less than 10 dollars but as a decendant of many many chefs you should know presentation is everything.
I don't think its people's issue. It's not about the product or quality, he built a fake luxury empire and people eat their to flex and spend the money they can. I would never do that cuz I grew up poor but I can understand people mentality
@@Mac-po1sr I think a chef would know the importance of presentation, but I dont think a slab of meat with gold wrapped around it is some work of Leonardo Da Vinci

💯 percent right! I can sell you an average steak and charge you extra for it because I use fart to season it and if you buy it it's on you.
The quality ultimately speaks for itself. They push out food that is sometimes garbage, sometimes good, but with prices far exceeding even some michelin star restaurants. The gold is just tacky.
We went to Pierre Gagnieres in Paris a few months before Covid struck.
Entire bill, 3 courses plus a bottle of wine and aperitifs, for 2 people was round about 1000 Euro including service.
Great food, this was pre-remodel so decor lovely but a bit out dated, service was good, and still less than one of his gold plated steaks.
Your point stands and I agree wholeheartedly. This guys restaurants are not near the same ballpark at 5 times the price.
Some? I'd wager most if you let any goldleaf reach your table at the Saltbae restaurant. The michelin restaurant I worked at wasn't the most expensive one, so probably not the best comparisson. But you could dine there for just over €100,- per person (though most often it was more, especially depending on the wine). But I bet most 1-star restaurants are cheaper than those thousand dollar steaks with 10 dollars worth of goldleaf on them.
The gold isn't just tacky, it's also practically worthless. A few cents worth of gold leaf on that $1000 steak. haha
garbage food at hilarious prices.
Fun fact, the gold that they use is quite low quality just generic gold leave; meaning that you could make the same steaks as the restaurant for about £50, which is hideously low.

4 years ago in September, she and her boyfriend (Who happenned to be a fan of Salt bae) wanted to go on a vacation to Cappadocia. But since there are no direct flights from Czech republic to Cappadocia, they had to fly to Instambul where they wanted to spend a day and then get on the plane to Cappadocia the next day. They visited some landmarks in Istambul and had a reservation for Salt baes restaurant in the evening. Even though they were really tired after the whole day, they went to the restaurant in hopes of meeting Salt bae. Apparently they had to wait in the restaurant for approx. 40 minutes after getting there even though they had a reservation. So after that they were sent to a bar, where they were suppossed to wait, untill some table is free. So while waiting at the bar, there was this groove in the bars desk, which had some unknown liquid inside of it. The bartender took some kind of ignition tool, lit up the liquid in the groove, and it made a little fire. Then another bartender came, with lots of the unknown liquid and started pouring it into the groove and at that moment it exploded. (you can also check out a video of the incident, a lot of people were recording it, since they thought it was gonna be some kind of fire show) and yea basically she was set on fire and suffered some serious burns.

I think Salt Bae's downfall is a cautionary tale about the dangers of relying on hype. When you build your brand on something as superficial as a salting technique, it's only a matter of time before people realize that there's nothing of substance behind it.
Not to mention that being an influencer is much more likely to be a detriment to your finances than a boon. Sure you can make massive money for a while, but even the most successful influencers have their career last only about a decade at the most before it’s flatlined and you have to live off of those savings for the rest of your life.
You can’t really get a job after too because you lack a majority of the work experience everyone else has and your a decade older, and maybe a little controversial, nobody would really want to hire you for most positions and you can’t blame them

His story is just so odd. When Nusret opened up his first resturant in İstanbul, I swear that was the best steakhouse I've seen and I've been to some very good ones. He was there all the time, personally attending the kitchen and he was very humble and friendly. He was always visiting tables and be attentive to any kind of feedback. Obviously this Salt Bae stuff hadn't started and he was just this very talented chef with an amazing restaurant.
His rise actually did not start with the salt video. Since the restaurant was good, in time it became very popular, lead to him opening up more restaurants in Turkey, as well as abroad. Which definitely started to lower the quality of the meals and these ridiculous shows started to take place.
Then the salt video came and the rest his history. So weird that nice, friendly chef turned into this Instagram star.

The problem with Salt Bae isn't really about his image on the internet, but his restaurant business. People might look at him in a different way if he actually serves god-like food while being the egotistic person that he is.
You can have as much ego as you want as a restaurant owner but the food speaks for itself.
