London has already become Salt Bae’s next famous stop, given the number of celebrities he has attracted with his salting technique and perfectly cooked steak.
Stars such as Jason Statham, David Beckham, and Mixed Martial Arts fighter Conor McGregor have been seen at Nusret’s restaurant to watch the excitement created by Nusret as he slices the steak wrapped in 24-carat gold and salts it in his signature style. Although the gold foil adds no flavour to the steak, it is the way it performs that makes it sound like a high-end luxury dish.
Nusret began working at a young age and has progressed to the point that he is now opening restaurants and drawing celebrities from all over the world. Nusret began working in the butchery industry as a young apprentice in Istanbul’s Kadikoy district, and now we can see how he can easily cut some of the finest pieces in his restaurants around the world.
