Salt Bae, aka Nusret G\u00f6k\u00e7e, the salty chef and restauranteur in the Four Seasons Jumeirah makes headlines often \u2013 most recently with Franck Ribery for serving up an AED1,000 gold-coated tomahawk steak.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ribery was criticised internationally for the indulgence, which led to him spewing a explicit rant on his social media, riddled with insults at people for his visit to Nusr-Et.<\/p>\n

G\u00f6k\u00e7e as always, remains quiet on media matters, just working away on his restaurant (which is choc-full every night of the week).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He has become a Dubai tourist attraction in his own right<\/h3>\n

What started as one video in 2017 has now exploded his celebrity – and people are lapping it up, two years later.<\/p>\n

In a time where dozens of Dubai restaurants are closing down, changing hands or rebranding every month, Nusr-Et Dubai is thriving – thanks to its eccentric namesake.<\/p>\n

Like a visit to the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and the Miracle Gardens, it’s a staple of a Dubai visit for some; people seek out a visit to Salt Bae’s famous Dubai restaurant to get a peek at the chef in action.<\/p>\n

Whether you love or hate him, you have to respect the guy – (who has 18.8 million followers on Instagram) and that he knows how to work the internet, the media and celebrities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Salt Bae, aka Nusret G\u00f6k\u00e7e, the salty chef and restauranteur in the Four Seasons Jumeirah makes headlines often \u2013 most recently with Franck Ribery for serving up an AED1,000 gold-coated tomahawk steak.
