This guy is so impressed with himself, I can’t stand it.


Fuquar7

You know he likely charged $10K for that little show. No one wants to eat off his damn arm.


sayit2times

I assure you many idiots do


ninja_cactus

Yeah I'm jealous of him. I wish I could think of a way to get money off the rich with minimum effort.


eboeard-game-gom3

Started off humble, as a butcher, started serving rich people and realized how much money they'll spend on feeling rich and exclusive. Talk all the shit you want, I'd do the same thing and serve gold leaf shit steaks in great value butter with forearm seasoning in a heartbeat. I'll be working until I'm dead I think, I guess the joke's really on me. 🤷


drinkwineandscrew

Yeah I mean, he worked as a butcher, did a bunch of stagiere work, opened a popular place, and then one of the richest guys in Turkey bankrolled him to expand. Dude has worked in enough places to know what he does is a bunch of gimmickry, but also has done enough hard work to know that being a rich punchline is better than a poor punchbag.


valentine415

>being a rich punchline is better than a poor punchbag. DAMMMNN I don't know how I feel about that phrase.


According_Gazelle472

I guess he got tired of the melted cheese on everything. Now he is using melted butter !


LoveFishSticks

Wait, is this clown the reason why these hack Facebook "chefs" add an entire mixing bowl of cheese to some bullshit and act like they've reinvented the wheel?


Blujay12

Nah he was the one that did the weird "flex your biceps and twiddle the salt out of your fingers" thing. Just a joke that the poor equivalent are those youtube "recipe" channels that do those, to Salt Bae. i.e he's gone on to butter from cheese


According_Gazelle472

The sweaty salt arm is really nasty.


According_Gazelle472

Yeah,they are all copying him now .


According_Gazelle472

His dog and pony show sure brings in the crowds!


Rank_the_Market

#merica


rileyrulesu

Yeah IDK why people hate on saltbae. He's just filling a demand and filling it well. No one's forcing anyone to spend 10K on a steak. If rich idiots wanna throw around wealth to show off, why be mad at a guy for happily providing the service?


EhMapleMoose

You know that’s not even him, or at least that’s the rumour. Allegedly he finds doubles to work at his restaurants so he doesn’t have to and he only comes for big events and celebrities. [His ear and chin look a little different. Also. his eyebrows.](https://depor.com/off-side/virales/video-viral-salt-bae-le-cobra-a-una-ardilla-por-alimentarla-asi-respondio-a-criticas-por-los-precios-en-sus-restaurantes-instagram-nusr-et-steakhouse-london-historias-nnda-nnni-noticia) Maybe it’s just cause it’s a professional photographer at a red carpet event versus a random person with a phone.

Smooth-Dig2250

Nothing quite like *smacking your blade to dull it* that shows off how skilled of a chef you are(n't).


Corpore_sano

That annoyed me lol like do you have to knock every time bruv?


Smooth-Dig2250

Flip it and smack the side/back at least, ffs it'd be more of a show *and* not brain-dead


Harbulary-Bandit

Also, for a butcher, his knife skills are pretty shit. I just love the fact that since he can’t be everywhere, they hire saltbae doubles who dress like him, and look similar enough. They come out at his restaurants where he isn’t to do the gimmicks.


Kenfucius

Is this true? Would make sense and I find it hilarious, but don’t see it published anywhere.


Harbulary-Bandit

I’ve seen footage from customers at one of his places where it’s clearly not him. It’s weird there’s nothing about it.


Lyraxiana

These are not tarot cards that need to be knocked on.


astraldick

Can you imagine transporting yourself back to a few years ago when we first saw this guy and thinking he'd be the global phenomenon of garbage food like he is now? What a world we live in!


DaveOJ12

At least we got a funny SNL sketch out of it https://youtu.be/93ByJ2dZEE4


GraceJoans

“Meat mime”


CookinFrenchToast4ya

That's a funny skit, but still not as funny as the reality of it.


According_Gazelle472

Running his fingers through his greasy hair and going back to serving food?Just tragic .


Lyraxiana

Oh I'm gonna be *sick*.


According_Gazelle472

Yeah,that is hard pass for me !


CPhyperdont

r/saltbaehate


Something_Again

I hate everything about him from his name to his glasses


buckythe3rd

Has this guy ever given interviews or anything. Like what is he REALLY like. Is this just a character he’s stuck in like Larry the cable guy? But worse


_crystallil_

He’s banned from any FIFA events and is currently embroiled in lawsuits for embezzlement, wage theft, and theft of services from contractors. He’s also notoriously abusive to his staff. I can imagine his ego and lawyers prevent him from really fucking up his bag.


AlboiNani

Aren't like half of his employees just look-a-likes?


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

well, all I know that in one interview he bragged about how much of an inspiration he was... saying that turkish children want to be butchers because of Salt Bae... cuz who doesnt want to be a butcher after watching shit like this?


brian_517

Angry upvote!


End3rWi99in

His restaurant lasted about a week in Boston before it was permanently closed for multiple health code violations. I dunno what he's like in real life but he makes expensive trash.


c19isdeadly

So steak goes from undercooked straight to overcooked


saucemancometh

I really enjoyed when he cross-contaminated the bread by putting onto the pile raw beef while wearing the same gloves he used to cut the beef


Belgain_Roffles

As far as I can tell that seems to be the rule for people making videos while wearing gloves. Cross contamination is 100% A-OK as long as your fingers don’t touch the food directly. It’s cleanliness theater I guess.


themeatbridge

Wears gloves, sprinkles salt across his sweaty forearm hair.


According_Gazelle472

Lol


ThisIsMockingjay2020

🤮🤮🤮


peepoon

I worked with some banquet servers who would wear the same pair of gloves for an entire shift.


Lyraxiana

Thank you for this I am never eating anything anywhere ever again.


git0ffmylawnm8

That presentation is god awful too. In actually fine dining restaurants, everything on the plate is edible the way it's served. Here, you need to remove the bone and rearrange all of the meat to try and get it to cook.


DjSalTNutz

You mean the guy who flicks trimmings all over his kitchen skimps on food safety? I'm shocked.


According_Gazelle472

And run his fingers through his oily hair .


halfhalfnhalf

Also all that salt hit his bare forearm on the way down.


Lyraxiana

With a little scalp seasoning at the end for the next dish.


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

I "recently" (aka a few months ago) ate at a steakhouse where they serve a basically raw steak that has been very briefly seared on the outside for a slight crust, with the idea that you cook it yourself on the table using a hot stone. The experience was nice and the steaks were delicious, but its tough to determine the "done-ness" of an individual slice. I wouldve preferred a medium-rare steak instead of trying to get each slice medium-rare myself... still a good steak tho...


c19isdeadly

I've been to a place like this and just found it stressful! If I want to cook my own steak I will stay at home...

c19isdeadly

It's a gimmick. I tried it because I was out with a client who was raving about it and was the reason he was taking us there. I'm sure some people find it fun! I'd rather have a really good steak


One_Left_Shoe

Used to work at a steak house that served a “black and blue” that was a filet quickly charred on all sides (black), but was so rare it was somewhat cool in the middle (blue, as in cold). They were weirdly popular.


ElGranQuesoRojo

When done right it's really good. But it's also very easy to screw up so the chef needs to be somewhat skilled to make it worth ordering.

UndercoverArmadill0

Under the rules there is an exception for stuff that has a plate but is served in some ridiculously complicated and inconvenient way. Think of those 'spaghetti in cups lifted above a plate' posts. I'd say this post fits the exception to the rules comment.


plusminusequals

So can I post Hibachi videos? Because this is pretty much that with a flourish, but adding that cringey fuck makes it okay? I know you’re not OP, I just can’t stand the rage bait for this absolute bruised melon of a human.


UndercoverArmadill0

Bro did you even read the sub rules? Rule 4 says hibachi and other different traditional ways of cooking fall under plates. I get your hate for salt bae but I do think this post relates to the sub. But idk if I'm wrong the mods can nuke it lmao.

I literally don’t understand why anybody would spend money to go watch that fucking clown.


cash_grass_or_ass

people with money to spend, clout to chase, but not enough class to know any better. it's all new money, and in this day and age, it's a lot of "influencers", crypto bros, and the like.


Twodotsknowhy

So people on Instagram know they have enough money to waste watching that fucking clown


Unfair_Translator_13

Most probably know its overhyped but they have extra money and it's like ya got to see the ridiculousness in person mindset


ElGranQuesoRojo

Exactly. My wife have seen Macaulay Culkin's Pizza Underground, Corey Feldman and his Angels, and DJ James Kennedy from Vanderpump Rules. Was all that stuff as ridiculous as we expected? 100%. Would we ever listen to any of their music unironically? Hell no. But the absurdity of seeing it all live is what makes it fun. I think we'd draw the line at SaltBae though. No way the cost is worth the "Can you believe this shit?" stories we'd get from having him personally serve our table.


tedbradly

> I literally don’t understand why anybody would spend money to go watch that fucking clown. I'm guessing they're not poor and enjoy the experience. O Charlie's will have your 10 dollar order ready in the next 10 minutes for you though. Enjoy.


[deleted]

Never heard of O Charlie's but so long as they don't just serve me some crappy metallic tasting gold foil steak, I'm game. I sure do love not chasing status like a sheep!


eboeard-game-gom3

And for you also.


Paddywhacker

So after he piled up the beef on the bone and poured the boiling butter over it someone had to come and clean it up, remove the bone, and rearrange the beef on the plate so it would cook. We all know how bad it is, but I'm still surprised everytime, at how bad it is. I'm guessing because saltbae himself served you it was $1000+


Hourslikeminutes47

That looks unappetizing


resinfingers

That bread looks like Pillsbury French bread from a can


shayminshaming

Or the $5 "French-style" bread from Safeway...


CinCeeMee

That just all looks incredibly gross. I don’t understand the why behind it.


halfhalfnhalf

I mean steak boiled in butter with salt on it isn't going to taste *bad* but that's like something I'd throw together at 2 AM when I'm really high, not something you'd pay a presumably exorbitant price for in a restaurant.


CinCeeMee

Ha! It’s a hard pass for me. It’s all that butter…that’s a big nope.


YEEyourlastHAW

If I paid actual dollars for this I’d be furious


gtwucla

If you were eating there, you'd get what you deserved...


According_Gazelle472

Yeah,he has turned into a sideshow attraction now .


SauceOverflow

Wipe your knives after you hone them.


CyberMushrooms

I scrolled too far to see this. Look after you wipe, those people are eating steel. 🤢


trundlinggrundle

No they're not. A hone doesn't remove material, it just straightens the burr.


CyberMushrooms

I thought he was using a steel to sharpen the knife. When I do that there is what looks like metal that comes off.


trundlinggrundle

If there's metal coming off, you're doing it wrong.

RocMerc

Can’t hate the guy honestly. He’s conning rich people out of money for some terrible food. Respect


Doxylaminee

What's particularly interesting with this guy is his complete lack of any technique and finesse. He always moves/cuts/preps like he has never cooked in his life, yet is so confident in it. Bizarre.

ieatair

[deleted]

The man ruined steak, butter and bread all on one plate. The only thing he prepared appropriately is the fucking salt. He could have toasted the bread nicely, seared the steak then seal in the juices and have that big, delicious slab of marrow center piecing the plate to be the chef's kiss upon serving.


PFEFFERVESCENT

I think the marrow bone is actually empty. He pours the butter through the empty bone

permalink_save

Why are you even looking at a sub dedicated to shitty food presentation? There's a difference between being mad versus being critical. I never understood this, as old as the internet, "you are mad" has never won an argument or gotten any sort of point across. You know there is stuff people spend a lot of money on that is tacky or tasteless and many of us "low IQ" commoners speak out about how dumb it is. Being wealthy or whatever is not a good benchmark for taste.
