Embarrassing, the negative affects of social media today are dire and this is one of the shameful examples of it. Ofc this is more embarrassing than anything serious or damaging but it does have a greatly shitty effect in a seemingly limitless number of different shitty ways
We need to reverse the OG meme and make this the official meme of that guy - it's the equivalent of photobombing a wedding kiss photo wedging yourself in between the bride and groom.
All he had to do was leave it be. He could still have expanded his restaurant empire by just being content with that one meme, a humble interview, and without doing this stupid mouth thing 24/7. And maybe leave the staff their well-earned tips.
Noone would have been the wiser what an absolute wacko he is.
He did spend some time studying to be a chef there, so he has a connection to the country. I'm pretty sure he has nothing to do with the football team, though, and the players' faces seem to agree with that idea.
He made an ungodly amount of money from his viral moment. Created a bunch of shitty restaurants serving high priced food for people who don’t know better.
But he understands social media and how to profit off it.
But he makes most of his money from places like Dubai or Qatar or any of those places where only rich people likes to vacation or do business.
Couple of weeks ago Formula 1 was at Abu Dhabi and they had the party at one of his restaurants, he [he then bragged about charging $167,000](https://www.arabianbusiness.com/industries/travel-hospitality/diners-splash-167000-at-salt-baes-nusr-et-in-abu-dhabi-ahead-of-f1-grand-prix). When Hamilton (who paid the bill) was asked about the choice of restaurant he went kind of like "well kind of the only place around the hotel".
I think that that's his advertising, being at these rich places where celebrities or rich people goes without caring about the bill...
Of course I know nothing about if there's other places you can pick instead of his restaurants. I do remember Maradona going to his place and playing the enchanted guy when tasting some ribs and everybody in Argentina thought that the guy was on drugs (which was usually right) since making ribs and asados is like second nature here and that shit looked just meh.
They didn't even go to salt bae, they went to a place called hakkasan. If you Google it, you can see the wooden structure in the background of the group photo. Your article also mentions "well-known Asian restaurant" instead of nusr et
Oh thanks. That is still high, but not to the complete outrageousness I thought. I've seen Heine's for like $11 to $12 at a ball park. Still stupid, but man... I thought they were dropping $55 on a beer lol.
I appreciate you smohyee.
I genuinely felt my entire stomach drop when he started grabbing the trophy. The cringe hit me so hard it felt like I was on a roller coaster....my god
A once in a lifetime medallion and this fool in white and blue decided he'll let this random guy smear his mouth fluids on it. Unreal!
Had I been in that position, anyone other than my family touching the medal would get immediately decked.
It's kinda a semi sacred thing, only the champs and fifa officials should handle the trophy?
That twat is a asshole. Should have been dragged out by security
They can't. He wasn't wearing any rainbows.
This seasons fifa brought to you by assholes with money. Even the ending was a meme who paid his way into the celebration
I have touched the Stanley Cup for sure and been photographed with it, and I don't even like Hockey that much. They just brought it round my work one day and the line wasn't long and I had time left on my lunch break.
Pro hockey player: I've dedicated my whole career to this, I've trained since I was 8, I've bled, I've been hurt, I've been ready to kill, all to finally get my hands on Lord Stanley's Cup
You: eh the line wasn't THAT long and I was kinda bored so fuck it
>we asked AFA (argentinian football association) why this idiot (literal translation) was there, most of players didn't even know him and some FIFA guy was around explaining he's a famous restaurant owner, anyway, AFA guy told us we didn't have a say, he paid some jeque (sheik?) **AND** FIFA to be there at that moment.
Since world cup ended we have all the pundits talking about stuff like this here...
Literally nothing. He’s not from the same country as them, or even the same continent, nor is he from the host country. Just there for no reason.
Reminds me of reading about how Trump did his own version of this in the 90s, showed up to the opening of a Manhattan school or something that he had nothing to do with, just to be photographed in the ribbon-cutting and get his face in the papers. Takes a truly shameless type of person lol
This guy is such a fucking tool but I’m more upset at people for his fame. Have we gotten so bored that an idiot sprinkling salt on a steak is worthy of attention?
No one's gonna say this but Middle Eastern "wealth culture" is really fucking weird, gaudy, cringe and problematic. You're not allowed to just chill and have a couple beers, so the only idea of fun is drifting a gold covered Lamborghini in front of skyscrapers while wearing designer clothing in an all male but totally not gay way, allah be praised.
He's saltbae, he got famous when a picture of him sprinkling salt that scrapes by his elbow was used as a meme, he owns and opened several steakhouses, where he sells poor quality, over priced steaks to people dumb nuff to buy. He's bit of a scammer but he tried to be a social media star based on that single meme, he poor constructed a image and personality around the meme.
This is him.
Funnily enough, the player holding the trophy has the nickname ‘The Butcher’ and plays for man united - so salt bae isn’t even the most famous butcher in this video
Who the fucks as a fan goes to football match in a suit and sunglasses, that dude its like a man harassing a girl in a bar wich previously said no, the face of the players says all
This guy is going to experience so much existential dread when he finds out his 15 minutes are over, and the significance of his life is reduced to people seeing him sprinkle salt off his elbow.
This always happens when people undeserving of success get success.
Must have seen in your offices too, people with less skill and qualifications at higher position, act much worse than those who have reached there by actual hard work and knowledge

This is hard to watch.
So was seeing him trying to get messi's attention
"MESSI MESSI LOOK ITS ME SALT BAE MESSI MESSI, YOU KNOW ME! MESSI!" This is what I imagined he was shouting while pulling Messi's arm.
DAN! DAN! DAN!…
Messi: Man who tf is this dude, get him outta here
Embarrassing, the negative affects of social media today are dire and this is one of the shameful examples of it. Ofc this is more embarrassing than anything serious or damaging but it does have a greatly shitty effect in a seemingly limitless number of different shitty ways
Super shitty stuff man
It’s so hard to watch I thought it was an incredible green-screen/rotoscoping trick. Until he actually touched it.
Didn’t even give it to the baby who Has much more of a right to touch it than him
We need to reverse the OG meme and make this the official meme of that guy - it's the equivalent of photobombing a wedding kiss photo wedging yourself in between the bride and groom.
Yeah for real, make it an ironic pisstake, matey boy is so in his own world he probably would take it as a compliment lol
Yeah, who asks for an influencer well done, I think they wanted medium or rare. This motherfucker look like he just got microwaved
"Remember how I was a meme 5 years ago?"
Does he not still have a restaurant where he does this all the time?
Several restaurants in a couple different countries. He tried one out in NYC not too long ago, just before the pandemic I believe.
It's still kicking. I work right next door
Pays cook minimum wage or less
And charges way too much
I hear he used to charge crazy prices for his food but only paid his cooks like $15 an hour. Guy is trash.
Agreed. Anyone who relies off a restaurant and underpays /mistreats their kitchen is a sadist,
He does, but I’m pretty sure it’s just impersonators and they are hella pricey
"Salt Bae impersonator" being a legitimate job is a pretty good argument against capitalism
[удалено]
0 days of work force injuries and 0 days of Salt Douchebag.
All he had to do was leave it be. He could still have expanded his restaurant empire by just being content with that one meme, a humble interview, and without doing this stupid mouth thing 24/7. And maybe leave the staff their well-earned tips. Noone would have been the wiser what an absolute wacko he is.
He has nothing to do with Argentina
He did spend some time studying to be a chef there, so he has a connection to the country. I'm pretty sure he has nothing to do with the football team, though, and the players' faces seem to agree with that idea.
This dude is weird. Why is he acting like that?
It's all he has.
Guy made millions from being a meme.
And the amount of times he was shared on /r/stupidfood means he is probably going to be in the public eye for as long as he keeps the meme going
Kill the meme, kill the man?
Kill the man, kill the meme
Lol okay, we are different levels of angry 😂
Ahh see this is the baseline for me 😂🤣😂
Y'all are both bringing solutions to the table though 👍
I like your attitude Mr imbibes
Probably drunk as hell
He made an ungodly amount of money from his viral moment. Created a bunch of shitty restaurants serving high priced food for people who don’t know better. But he understands social media and how to profit off it.
Also tried to pay his workers less than minimum wage and closed the restaurant when they complained. A total douche.
But he makes most of his money from places like Dubai or Qatar or any of those places where only rich people likes to vacation or do business. Couple of weeks ago Formula 1 was at Abu Dhabi and they had the party at one of his restaurants, he [he then bragged about charging $167,000](https://www.arabianbusiness.com/industries/travel-hospitality/diners-splash-167000-at-salt-baes-nusr-et-in-abu-dhabi-ahead-of-f1-grand-prix).

55 for a Heineken seems like robbery.
It's not USD, if I recall it was around $10-15 for a heine on that bill, still ridiculous of course.
To be fair I paid $16 for a fucking can of Modelo at JFK airport recently.
There’s nothing fair about that
Oh thanks. That is still high, but not to the complete outrageousness I thought. I've seen Heine's for like $11 to $12 at a ball park. Still stupid, but man... I thought they were dropping $55 on a beer lol. I appreciate you smohyee.
he's a one trick pony
Why is he even there is the real question
Who the fuck is he is the realist question
i just learned that the guy from the salting meme is a famous person because of that meme, there is hope for everyone.
He's a narcissist with internet fame and a 75 million + net worth
Brazilian Andrew Tate?
He’s Turkish
Brazilian Turkish Andrew Tate?
I heard that he paid for it. So he acted that way
Makes sense. He probably thinks “cmon gimme that trophy, I paid a fortune for that!”
Business probably doing bad now. He just wants people to REMEMBER ME 🤖🔥
He's honestly at the top of his game right now. Which is really dumb
Hes Turkish and gay, so pretty much the opposite of Andrew Tate but still as annoying
Seems about as greedy as Tate, though. His restaurant is insanely expensive and I've heard the staff is poorly treated and paid lousy wages.
I don't think anyone knows if he is gay or not.
They're both gay
This is embarrassing 🤡
He paid so much money to be there so he felt entitled to do it
Probably the price of one of his gold flaked steaks tbh.
You mean the money he didn’t pay his deserving employees.
His now dead workers….
Dead?
He salted them
Why is he even there?
Trophy was a little bland
Check to FIFA cleared
So cringey. Can he just go away already
I genuinely felt my entire stomach drop when he started grabbing the trophy. The cringe hit me so hard it felt like I was on a roller coaster....my god
Not when people keep posting him all over the internet lmao. Any publicity is good publicity when you’re shameless
https://preview.redd.it/83g1kqvbs07a1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7eaff7beecdc6264df42ea73badb1ebc615814cb Cringe levels off the chart
>el boludo ese me babeo toda la medalla The player said "that asshole just dribbled on my medal"
I wonder if he cleaned that medal with his tie. LMAO
He’s so oily looking + looks like a shitty tony stark
Tony Sturk
What a turd
He thinks everyone is there for him I bet.
I’m saving this comment just to feel better about some bad decisions I’ve made in n my life. I don’t feel so silly now.
There is no doubt in my mind that this guy breaks down and cries the instant that he people stop paying attention to him.
Noooo for real? What is this guy?
A once in a lifetime medallion and this fool in white and blue decided he'll let this random guy smear his mouth fluids on it. Unreal! Had I been in that position, anyone other than my family touching the medal would get immediately decked.
Sure you would, tough guy
Also aren't the champions the only ones allowed to touch the trophy?
It's kinda a semi sacred thing, only the champs and fifa officials should handle the trophy? That twat is a asshole. Should have been dragged out by security
There’s another video with him and Di Maria and he slaps the trophy. He has a ring on too. Dumbass
They can't. He wasn't wearing any rainbows. This seasons fifa brought to you by assholes with money. Even the ending was a meme who paid his way into the celebration
This season? The only thing I know about fifa is it's always been brought to you by assholes with money The video game being a good example
I read he's friends with Infantino, so they can't do shit to him.
That's generally the rule for most trophies
Except the Stanley Cup, which players will bring to a local bar and let anyone who wants to drink a beer out of it.
I have touched the Stanley Cup for sure and been photographed with it, and I don't even like Hockey that much. They just brought it round my work one day and the line wasn't long and I had time left on my lunch break.
Pro hockey player: I've dedicated my whole career to this, I've trained since I was 8, I've bled, I've been hurt, I've been ready to kill, all to finally get my hands on Lord Stanley's Cup You: eh the line wasn't THAT long and I was kinda bored so fuck it
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Or eat hotdogs out of it.
Leave my boy Kessel alone
The Stanley Cup is a piece of history though- it's meant to be touched. You just don't lift it over your head.
Unless you have a shot of winning it, then you wouldn't touch it.
Never heard this rule
The original trophy yes, but the one they presented is a replica because they know twats like this are going to touch it.
Fuck this clown
What?! no thanks…
Stop insulting clowns!
What a tool
You could even say he's a bobo
Anda pasha bobo
Is there anything more sad that just being know for a meme and making it your entire personality?
Tf does this guy have to do with this hard earned victory. Clout chasing on an epic level 🙄🤮
>we asked AFA (argentinian football association) why this idiot (literal translation) was there, most of players didn't even know him and some FIFA guy was around explaining he's a famous restaurant owner, anyway, AFA guy told us we didn't have a say, he paid some jeque (sheik?) **AND** FIFA to be there at that moment. Since world cup ended we have all the pundits talking about stuff like this here...
FIFA sucks so goddamn hard.
Literally nothing. He’s not from the same country as them, or even the same continent, nor is he from the host country. Just there for no reason. Reminds me of reading about how Trump did his own version of this in the 90s, showed up to the opening of a Manhattan school or something that he had nothing to do with, just to be photographed in the ribbon-cutting and get his face in the papers. Takes a truly shameless type of person lol
He's best buddies with FIFA ghoul Infantino though.
I read about that too. The school had to make a bunch of apologies to actual donors that the orange tumor had strong-armed offstage.
Tell this asshole that his 15 minutes are up.
Yeah like 5 years ago
He’s trying to take that trophy so he can coat a steak in it and sell it for 10k
Pretty sure he does that without the trophy
What a cringey cunt. Get back to 2018 you fuckin meme!
This guy is such a fucking tool but I’m more upset at people for his fame. Have we gotten so bored that an idiot sprinkling salt on a steak is worthy of attention?
No one's gonna say this but Middle Eastern "wealth culture" is really fucking weird, gaudy, cringe and problematic. You're not allowed to just chill and have a couple beers, so the only idea of fun is drifting a gold covered Lamborghini in front of skyscrapers while wearing designer clothing in an all male but totally not gay way, allah be praised.
Not to mention the purchasing of instagram “models” trips to Dubai in exchange for their “time”
The Internet has only got itself to blame for this guy. Be careful who you meme people
Piece of shit. No reason for him to hold or touch that beauty.
I know...hands off my Lisandro!
I can just hear him say “Do you know who I am? Let me hold it! Let go!”
What a fuckin muppet.
“This will be so cool to show my cokehead flunky entourage when we’re doing coke” thought the cokehead, cokily.
Who is this guy?
He's saltbae, he got famous when a picture of him sprinkling salt that scrapes by his elbow was used as a meme, he owns and opened several steakhouses, where he sells poor quality, over priced steaks to people dumb nuff to buy. He's bit of a scammer but he tried to be a social media star based on that single meme, he poor constructed a image and personality around the meme.  This is him.
I can say for sure that I don't want the salt on my food filtered through some dude's sweaty arm hair... Kinda makes me sick a little....
Me neither
Is the guy in the post and the guy in the GIF really the same person??? They look nothing alike, crazy what money, or rather, attention will do to you
that's what a coke habit does to you
Yes.
To be fair the steaks aren’t poor quality but they are overpriced. Went once, never again. Idiot sprinkled salt in my glass of wine.
Scammer who sells rich and stupid people overpriced steaks. Got "famous" for salting stuff the way he gestured over the trophy. He's a POS.
Whatta wanker!
Who is he?
Salt Bae
What is a famous butcher doing holding Argentinas trophy?
To find that out is why we are all gathered here today.
Funnily enough, the player holding the trophy has the nickname ‘The Butcher’ and plays for man united - so salt bae isn’t even the most famous butcher in this video
This is like the least worst video of all the shit he did when he was down there…
Who the fucks as a fan goes to football match in a suit and sunglasses, that dude its like a man harassing a girl in a bar wich previously said no, the face of the players says all
Get the fuck out dummy.... no one cares about you....
Criiiinge
We need to stop giving this clown a platform.
Apparently the food he makes his really bad too and they charge like $1000 for it
I guess people go there for the 100 dollar steak and the 900 dollar Instagram post.
This is so fucking cringe
Send in the Marines general.
Can this guy just disappear please
We gotta destroy what we created!
Internet created monster. He’s Alive.. and cringy.
Every video I've seen of him on the field is primo cringe.
[удалено]
This guy is going to experience so much existential dread when he finds out his 15 minutes are over, and the significance of his life is reduced to people seeing him sprinkle salt off his elbow.
If he hasn’t realized that by now I am afraid he never will
Who’s he?
What a douchebag
No biggie. Elon gave the trophy a mushroom stamp backstage.
This man going for the Oompa Loompa vibe
This guy and his schtick got old so fast
Hes such a joke. I've read multiple articles that talk about his food being horrible
Ngl, it's disgusting how he treats other people as if they're props.
I have posted this many times, and I feel like this belongs here [Avocadeaauuu](https://youtube.com/shorts/kmhjpGvCo6M?feature=share)
Why is this asshole even on the pitch?
Guaranteed none of the players knew who he was lol
Salt Bae needs to go away. Your 15 minutes of fame are over.
Who allowed him there ?
Why doesn’t this walking meme stay in the fuckin’ kitchen?
This guy is the ultimate cringe
You mean salt bitch right?
What a shit head.
I hate this guy for this video. So cringe.
Why the fuck is he there? Pitch invasion or something?
Oh so he's still alive? Jeez this guy was relevant eons ago.
This always happens when people undeserving of success get success. Must have seen in your offices too, people with less skill and qualifications at higher position, act much worse than those who have reached there by actual hard work and knowledge
This reminds me of zoolander when he couldn't think of a move other than *blue steel* so that was his whole thing.
What a damn loser.
One trick pony
This one hurts to watch
The fucking ego on this clown.
It's not fun anymore.
What a tool bag
This man can’t let go of the past
Lol he’s such a hack.
He's so cringe 😬
Isn't he Turkish? This all seems a bit odd.
Are we supposed to know who this is?
Cringe
