Salt Bae, the Turkish butcher whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, once again falls into the luxury excess of his restaurants that have opened on the other side of the world, sharing a video on Instagram of a superbill made by four guests having dinner in his Paid restaurant in Dubai. This had already happened two years ago and Salt had been overwhelmed by the outrage of his fans, who also unfollowed him in outrage. Then he tried to recover by throwing himself into the front row to do charity work for his compatriots affected by the terrible earthquake in Turkey. But history apparently teaches little for the butcher chef revered by VIPs around the world, who made the same marketing mistake a few days ago.
A filet mignon for 250 euros and great markups on the wine
This time the scandal was triggered by an account in Dubai currency that corresponded to 100,000 euros between four people: 25,000 euros each. According to the receipt posted on Instagram, a meat carpaccio cost 68.7 euros. A filet mignon with edible gold sauce cost 250 euros. There is a special price for a small plate of fried potatoes that only costs 13 euros. But a small plate of fruit was sold for 60 euros. And the majority of the bill came from wine: a bottle of Petrus 2011 sold for 16,250 euros and two bottles of Petrus 2009 sold for 49,250 euros. Tips and taxes and here is the 100,000 euro bill that made Salt Bae proud, who commented: “Money goes, money comes…”.
Rain of indignation on his social networks
Under his post a flood of indignant comments, which once again show that the most sociable chef in the world does not know how to get along with his followers and is not even able to assess the historical moment in which he so much The table is intended to display wealth. Among the comments there are many who remind him of how this sum would have fed the population of Gaza for days and perhaps even a month at this tragic moment. Others point to the poverty in Turkey, where Salt was born into a very humble family, and tell him he should be ashamed. Very few of the 12,000 comments defend it.
