There’s not enough cringe in the world to cover Salt Bae feeding Mikel Arteta – but these 14 savage responses make it worth watching
Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, otherwise known as Salt Bae, went wildly viral back in 2017 after people saw his unusual seasoning technique.
This is the clip that started it all.
We’ve all grown accustomed to his affected motions, not to mention extortionate prices, but we weren’t quite prepared for this interaction with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

Needless to say, the mockery went stratospheric.

I’d give a 6 point deduction to anyone who eats some steak straight from the Salt Bae fork. Feels worse than an FFP breach https://t.co/AIqhVtkUTT

Salt Bae is a grifter and he’s made his money from a weird way of sprinkling salt. All this from a guy who looks like the dead guy from Weekend at Bernie’s! pic.twitter.com/L3XIyBSTkv

The big problem with Salt Bae is that he's forced people to do that polite, patient smile they do when their water's being poured or cutlery laid out…..but for 10x longer https://t.co/AyLPVRbJ9V

We’d like to see him try feeding meat to Jürgen Klopp. Or this …
I long for the day there’s footage of Salt Bae feeding someone steak off his meat cutlass and them spitting it out and going ‘that’s fucking horrible, that’
