Turkish chef Nusret Gokce, also known as 'Salt Bae', is nothing short of an internet sensation. Ever since a meme of him sprinkling salt on steak went viral, Gokce was catapulted to instant internet fame. About 5 years later, the Turkish viral sensation has a chain of restaurants by the name 'Nusr-Et' at exotic locations all over the world. In September 2021, the London branch of the restaurant chain had created waves across the internet for its exorbitant prices even for the simplest dishes.
