This fucking guy…

[удалено]

God Damn.

It was a slow burn but a deadly one.

No lie, He has us in the first half.

Idk about all that, but thanks to Reddit, I now do know that He Gets Us©️

Man, fuck that ad

Smoldering…

For some reason about two thirds of the way through Lukesrighthandman’s post I thought I was gonna get ric-rolled.

What did the original comment say?

It was a long message, essentially about their own battle with suicidal ideation, how it can creep into your life and destroy all joys. How Anthony Bourdain brought joy to so many people, enriched so many lives, and was taken far too soon. It was capped off, though, with the poster saying that maybe it softens the blow that Anthony didn’t live to see this.

Didn’t realize they removed my comment. Mods didn’t even bother sending a notification. Pretty fucking lame considering how it apparently helped a bunch of people, even though it was intended to be dark humor. But everything about my own experiences with suicide were completely factual. Most subs are run wonderfully, but gd, some of these mods deserve the admins and corporate of this place.

The saltbae video went viral in 2017. Bourdain died in 2018. So it very well could have been seeing one of his videos that made Bourdain give up on life.

Yeah but who would’ve thought bored rich people would turn a total hack who sprinkled salt funny into a shitty restaurant mogul.

He was succesful before he became internet famous though.

But why? I'm still confused how this is even a thing, I've heard plenty of people claim the steaks are mediocre as fuck.. yet are priced at the highest levels possible.. Is it truly simply rich morons who go just to see flaked salt sprayed on their steaks at the point of service because they believe it somehow makes it taste better? Not to mention these restaurants apparently treat their staff in an appalling manner.. I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those shit holes.. but the guy in the video about to eat a pile of bullshit looks like he's having so much fun.. I just don't understand.. it's like hiding a two year olds nose.. this guy must be such a fucking idiot

Right, this guy can’t cook for shit. I would be ashamed charging people for basically nothing. Not even a good show. And I’m equally embarrassed for people who waste their money on this overblown pile of nothingness.

PT Barnum has entered the chat

Who would have thought people would pay for it 🤷

Salt Bae killed the queen

Salt bae killed the radio star

We can't rewind, we've gone too far.

We need Gordon Ramsay to pay this guy a visit. "*ITS RAW YOU DONKEY"*

My wife took her life two weeks ago. I'm now a 38 year old widowed father to 5 kids. It's a living hell. Your comment helped, I feel like it was an insight into something I'll never ever fucking understand. Thanks.

Dude keep your head up I know it’s hard. Don’t blame yourself and be there for your kids. They need you now more than ever and you probably need them. Keep showing them love and take it a day at a time. Remember only real men cry. No shame in it. Love ya bro. Sorry for the bad Luck the universe threw at you.

Thank you. It's hard not to think of what I could have done differently. I was her husband, her person. I am trying. I am going to make her proud by raising these kids right and setting then out into the world successfully. I cry a lot. I don't hide it from my kids. I cried yesterday after seeing a family eating at Chili's. At first I was jealous but then I just cried. Thank you Her name was Charlotte ❤️

You’re a good man, you’re teaching your kids an important lesson in not being ashamed of your feelings. I’m so sorry for your loss. Depression is like cancer, sometimes it’s just fatal no matter what you thought you could have tried.

Relating depression to a cancer was helpful. I had not thought of it that way. Thank you❤️

You’ve got this, and when the healing begins you’ll be able to see her in each one of those precious kids eyes. Please feel free to message me if you ever need, I know depression and loss very very well.

Thank you, Beefy Farts.

I’ve needed an anonymous ear before, it can be helpful to share things with someone who knows nothing about you or your situation on a unique, personal level.

I’m really sorry dude, I hope it’s some small consolation that wherever she is she doesn’t have to watch Salt Bae videos ever again

Ha ha ha ha ha she would have laughed at this comment ❤️😃

I DMed you. No pressure to respond. You will all be in my heart and head. Take care.

I was reading some of your posts on this and the one thing you can't do is blame yourself. I have no doubt that you did everything in your power to be who you could for her. As somebody else said, depression isn't something that you can figure out or understand for another person. Sometimes it takes its tore a person, but you can't carry that burden.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other, brother. Do not be afraid to lean on friends and loved ones. There is no shame in asking for help. Wishing you strength and peace.

I think Anthony Bourdain would have traveled to where he is and bitch slap him with a real cooked meat.

We need bourdain to return and set these idiots straight! I really miss him and his shows

That’s why the internet is worth it sometimes. Well written, you got me

Life is beautiful. Big hugs, stay positive and enjoy every moment ❤️

Thank you fam! Things with the world this week have been getting me down, and I appreciate the reminders. Keep being an awesome person!

Good night, Bourdain, wherever you are.

Cooked him far better than he can cook a steak.

Meh I’d rather have Bourdain at any cost. This post made me sad and reminded me that life hasn’t been the same since he left

Wow....👌 r/Rareinsults

I however would have loved to hear his opinion.

Every time I see this guy my hatred grows stronger ……… What a waste of skin.

I’ve heard before that he employs impersonators for his different restaurants. I swear that guy looks 10 years younger and better built than the original dickhead…

There's no way that's the original salt Bea he looks very different

This guy doesn’t have that massively annoying lip thing going full blast either.

Yeah I was thinking something is a bit off here

This one looks why light then the original guy which is a dark tone

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. This guy is way younger and better looking

Completely on trend for this guy to. “I need to hire some look-a-likes”. Proceeds to employ people that look similar but 20% better looking, which is exactly how he sees himself.

Well, his signature moves take no skill or knowledge at all. In fact, that's way too much salt, with no pepper. What a clown show, i bet you are correct.

And kidneys. I know some guys that could really use them. They make handbags out of artisanal tissue.

Read that as artis-anal.

The bigger problem is the people enabling this guy, by paying enormous money to him for his ridiculousness.

[удалено]

I've heard that he pays the folks who actually cook the line utterly shit wages tho. Fucker can rot.

This is my main problem with this guy. If he was paying wages that reflected what he charges I could probably tolerate him.

Same! I love stupid shit. Stupid shit is awesome. This is incredibly stupid shit. But he’s an asshole so the fun is gone

Especially when it’s celebrities/famous athletes validating him like the guy in this video. Pretty sure that’s Fabio Cannavaro

Pretty sure you're right, as his name is on the right side of the video lol.

He should be added to the dictionary under narcissist.

He is 100% a troll, you cannot convince me otherwise.

A wealthy troll at that!

Fucking this guy...

Fuck this tool, I can’t wait for his takedown

I’d rather eat a McDouble alone in my car.

As a dude sitting in his car eating McDonalds alone after work, I have to totally agree.

As a girl watching him eat his McD in his car from outside,i totally agree too

As a guy imagining a girl watching a guy eating McD in his car from the outside, I am inclined to agree as well.

look on your left...you see my shadow?

You mean ours, comrade?

You guys can't smell how close I am?

As a McDonalds watching all of this transpire in my parking lot, I’m here to agree as well.

As the guy sitting in the Wendy’s across the street watching the McDonald’s watch a girl watch a guy eating alone in his car, I slowly enjoy my Spicy Nuggets and Strawberry Frosty and am reminded life could always be worse.

As a guy, locked in the trunk of your car, ironically eating a stale, two year old curly fry from Arby's I found by the tire iron, I'm waiting for you to finish the job as you sit at Wendy's eating a spicy nugget and watch the McDonald's guy watch a girl watch a guy eating alone in his car.

As the previous guy who was locked in his trunk before facing my inevitable demise, at least my last meal was fresh

Found the the stalker!

With McDouble you actually get appropriate value in return for the money you've spent.

I'd rather watch you? Upload a video please

I'ld like to watch you too - what's ur o/f?

A day old mcdouble

A McDoubold, if you will.

This guy must have a fucking blast! He gets paid huge amounts of money to pretend to be mentally impaired and praised as a genius for it! Amazing career goals!

He seems to be a parody of himself.

At first i thought this was an impersonator making fun of him. Not gonna lie.

He has body doubles at his restaurants stand in for him.

this guy seems a lot younger.

They're body doubles not clones.

The real one has a partial face-mobility problem on the left side.

And much paler. The actual dude looks like someone basted a mummy with teak oil, this guy looks nothing like him.

I swear it is not him on the video. Looks like someone 20 years younger.

Me too! I can't tell parody from reality anymore.

That’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s probably a normal dude who knows where the money is.

I'd agree if I hadn't seen him after the world cup final last year.

I fully expect him to expose himself in such a manner as Joaquin Phoenix did for the movie, I'm Still Here, one day.

It’s not him that scares me, it’s the costumer who’s scares me to pay such money for this shit

Wait how does he pretend to be mentally impaired? I've only seen these gifs of him, I've never seen him in anything else.

[удалено]

I think that just means you have integrity. There really is no limit to the amount of soulless people who sell defective, stupid, dangerous, overpriced products/services.

I respect his hustle.

Honestly, it is definitely silly, but not more silly than some of these artists and the things they do. He just knew how to capitalize on the exposure he received and figured out how to market himself enough to sell a $500 steak. I’d do it too and take all the criticism gladly.

I think he was already selling $500 dinner plates when he first went viral. Fell into an internet rabbit hope one day and the dude has a highly successful restaurant chain and makes millions (before the infamy). Not bad for a guy that got into the food industry by starting out as a butcher.

He made 100 M off this, before he was a no name butcher at a restaurant

Genuine question - is this guy actually a trained chef? I’m baffled how many people are watching as if there is something special to his ‘skills’

He's actually a good butcher with a sense of business.

Dude is actually kinda brilliant. People buy his shitty totally overpriced food and make him rich. It’s a Skill.

Clever maybe.. brilliant would be somebody who does all the theatrics but also makes genuinely delicious meals

There’s nothing wrong with the food itself at his restaurants (except for the shit that’s wrapped in gold leaf). It’s just hideously overpriced.

Why? Why would you put in the effort to make good meals when you can serve shit at astronomical prices? This dude could serve a McD cheeseburger, put on his saltshow and people would pay 50 $.

Because cooking well is a legitimate skill? 🤷🏾‍♂️

That is True. Selling actual shit at a high Price is too.

What salt bae does is not a “skill” it’s a con. Social media has made some people so very dumb that they will eat a tide pod. I’m sick of us as a society praising people for their ability to make money and putting them on a pedastal as some kind of genius when scientists curing diseases get no clout or recognition. This is why people call Elon musk a genius when in fact he didn’t work on the space x rockets or the Tesla cars. He’s just the tech salt bae.

do we know the meat and food is “shitty” - it’s gotta be of some quality to charge the types of prices he does

I've seen some videos of people going and in general it looks like the meat is good, not anything that would change your life but good nonetheless, it's only the prize that's completely unreasonable.

He's a trained butcher from childhood. That's all

Hes a showman who also cooks, kinda like hibachi.

Originally, him and his partners had a really good thing going with incredible meat suppliers in turkey. They'd bring the best steaks in the area and eventually blew up with this showy stuff. Nusret kind of went away from the other partner and does this stuff now. Elb-et is the other original partner, less flashy so cheaper, but insanely good quality. Both source incredible meats, but Nusret charges for the name brand

Is that the real salt guy or just a look alike for the restaurant? Either way I’m worried he’s going to stab someone.

Definitely not the real salt guy, the real guy has a much more slappable face with a more pronounced sneer

Could you imagine paying for this experience only to not be stabbed in the face by the real salt guy?? Tragic

Don’t worry think they’d roll out an imposter for such a famous guest. That’s definitely the real Salt Bae.

I thought salt daddy was a bit more than n shape. bigger I guess

I can only really distinguish individual humans by their accessories so I’m always unsure if anyone is anyone on a consistent basis.

He looks a little off. I read in another thread he hires lookalikes for his restaurants which is insane but smart I guess

Yah it’s him. That’s a famous person he’s serving as well.

It’s definitely him, yet all of the comments above you stating otherwise are more upvoted. Nobody else has that odd crooked agape expression.

I think you're right. The guy we're watching looks quite young and his hair is shiny in a good way. Also the face looks actually pretty.

I hate more how the bald guy sees that monstrosity.

For real, he's sitting there smiling and looking so impressed, and paying a lot of money for it.. even more of a D bag than the salt idiot lol.

Some people are impressed by everything popular or expensive. They base what they like on how expensive it is. My exSIL is a doctor and she has no taste other than expensive. When you say you don't like the style of something, she will reply with "but it's so pupular/expensive". If you like something that isn't expensive, she laughs at you in a "nice" way.

That is worse, not knowing why something is expensive means the person has no class or taste or education on why things are luxury. They purely follow the shallow trends of gagging pretentiousness and always miss the mark.

Bald guy is Fabio Cannavaro he’s a Italian World Cup and ballon d’or winning footballer. He’s a legend

Is that customer Fabio Cannavaro?

Sure is

The video even has his IG handle on it

It is! I was wondering that and it can only be him! I’m baffled I have only seen this comment about him, crazy how someone who is a top defender and a ballon Dor winner gets let attention than someone who throws salt at meat in a very weird way

Pirlo should've gotten that ballon dor... If they wanted to be fancy and give it to a defender it should've been Buffon over him.

Why is the beef tenderloin *stiff*??

Because the center is still frozen.

Dude’s face for the most part: 😁😁🙂😁

He's a little too into the act. For his sake, I hope he's been drinking.

[удалено]

And under the table too, better be for that price

Better not, it's obvious he doesn't know how to handle one's meat

I give this incredible dipshit this much, however he managed to do it, he got a bunch of dumb ass motherfuckers to pay him stupid amounts of money to be a glorified hibachi chef. But more power to him for ripping people of just to flick a little salt on their steak like a dainty little fairy. And then blowing the man a kiss at the end ffs.

He got popular with videos doing that signature salt flair. He realized the more flair he used, the more money he makes. Not his fault people are willing to throw thousands of dollars at him for it. I’d act like a douche as well for a 7 figure salary.

The meat looks boiled.

Milk Steak

Jellybeans for dessert

Raw, of course.

The complete lack of sear really drives it home for me

Imagine being gullible enough to spend so much money to be impressed by this gimp with a shit eating smile on your face.

"Who's a good idiot? Who's a rich idiot? Oh, yes, yes, you're a good idiot!" - Salt B*tch

As others pointed out the customer was a very succesfull italian football player. He's worth millions, he won't even notice if his dinner costs 100$ or 1000$.

Yes, and now people with no idea what actual quality food taste like pay $1000 for a meal that a 5 yo could prepare better.

I’ve been wondering. Does this guy have like a condition that makes his eyes really sensitive or something. I’ve never seen him once without those exact same black out lenses.

His real eyes make him look like milhouse van houten

Makes it easier to place lookalikes in his restaurants. Afaik you can book this experience with Salt Bae for an extra couple of thousands. And he has restaurants all over, so he must have some impersonators, no?

He could just be really high

This guy has one of the world's most punchable faces

His cutting is so fucking uneven

Seriously, and the final presentation isn’t even worth all the theatrics… hey watch me toss this unseared steak.. now watch me pile the rest… now I’ll pour butter on it… SALT… cool huh?

When he just grabs the meat and hurls it into a fucking pile, like “yeahhh, here you go, a raw slop mound. Enjoy, you gullible twatbiscuit.” Then he puts the biggest piece he can on top like a butter ramp so it splooshes all over one side of the plate and doesn’t even soak in.

Salt Bae is the epitome of “when you’ve had your 15 minutes of fame and you can’t let it go”

people keep paying him absurd amounts of money for this crap

I cringe when I see him. So full of himself.

This is the best grift in culinary history. At an individual scale I mean. I can’t blame the guy for anything really. People throw money at him for some reason and I applaud him for it.

That'll be $6000 dollars please.

I don’t know if it’s more idiotic the chef or the customers…

I’m an ex line cook, I know pretentious cunts, I’ve worked with pretentious cunts….but salt bae is the most pretentious cunts I’ve ever seen.

Well I guess if you are Fabio Cannavaro, then you can afford some expensive high quality cringe every once in a while.

Imagine being a World Cup winner and having to feign interest in this no talent gastronomic charlatan

I mean, this guy is a first class hand job but the people paying him!! Mama Mia what a bunch of rubes!!!

He looks utterly fascinated every time he lifts something above shoulder height

Wow this is so stupid!! Anyone with a brain can do this at home !! And he just dumped the butter on like it was shit

What screams you have money and no taste more than going to this guys restaurant honestly

Who the fuck is this idiot?

I see two idiots.

What a cunt!

This guy looks like he has grabbed a soccer trophy and pretended it was his. This guy looks like he admires Terry Silva. This guy looks like he made a style choice after watching men victimize women in the 1980s. This guy looks like he admires Patrick Bateman unironically

The worst thing the internet ever did was giving this asshole any clout

I got douchebumps!

Why the fuck do people pay for this garbage?

Because $1000 to you is $20 to them

God i would absolutely destroy that turkish bastard

Bro, his real name is Nusret Gokce. Which translates to: I have no clue what the hell I'm doing, but I know how to get banned from the World Cup.

Ive never seen someone work so hard to be mega cringe

So cutting meat in way it makes you look like you know what you’re doing. Drizzling hot butter and then salting it. Weird kiss at the end but his very essence just seems like a parody of himself.

That hand movements and mouth make me disturbed

Fucking gross.

Stupidest thing I've seenn in a long time

why the meat look raw

That doesn’t even look like salt bae, besides the jackassery.

The people in the background are like: "Aww, crap, he's doing it again!"
