• Just when we have defined “food porn” as something that has to do with good food presentation and photography, a Turkish chef is making it real that he got viral online.

  Well, the snazzy chef and Butcher is Nusret Gökçe who sensually cuts meat and make them so gorgeous by his classy way of sprinkling salt. How can we not call him #SaltBae when he’s doing all this sexy cutting thing on plain white shirt, round sunglasses, and tied hair.

  The Turkish restaurateur is a co-owner of the popular stekahouse, Nusr-Et with six locations in Turkey and Dubai.

   

  Though Gökçe’s Instagram account has a large number of followers, his current video is the reason why he earned his celebrity status in Turkey and got a large fanbase for his restaurant empire.

  Behind all this popularity in the line of food, the chef revealed in his interview with Turkish news outlet Aksam that he grew up as one of the five children of a miner. He has to leave school early because of financial difficulties. He found his path in the restaurant industry as a butcher’s apprentice and later on opened his own restaurant.

  Now, when it comes to steak talks, #SaltBae is the man!

   

   

  He’s so popular now that online citizens are asking Apple for an emoticon for #SaltBae.
