Why Turkish Chef Salt Bae Is Popular Again (Viral Video)
Nusret Goekce (Salt Bae), the famous chef turned meme has gone viral on Twitter again after a hilarious video of him feeding meat to a woman next to what appears to be her partner went viral.
Nusret Gokce is a Turkish chef who owns a chain of luxury steakhouses. However, most people know him as Salt Bae after a video of him extravagantly salting a steak went viral and became a meme.
Since then, he has gained a large following on social media and has gained worldwide fame. Its steakhouses have become a favorite haunt of celebrities from Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk to UFC superstar Connor McGregor.
It's been four years since the original video was released. However, he has gone viral again on Twitter after a video of him feeding a woman meat next to her alleged partner, who looks unimpressed, went viral.
Salt Bae salts the meat using his signature technique. Then he pierces the piece with a knife, runs it across the table, salting it again, brings the knife with the contents to the woman and lowers the meat into her mouth.
However, the dark-skinned man who was sitting next to the woman, who seemed to be his lady, was clearly not happy with what was happening. He observed the whole situation without enthusiasm. People took screenshots of his reaction with hilarious captions and comparisons with similar expressions.

Everyone agrees that he may have felt threatened by Salt Bae's exotic charms and was overprotective of his partner. But one user joked that maybe he was hungry and jealous that she got the first piece of meat.
Either way, it looks like Salt Bae is back in the spotlight and he's almost certainly using it.
