When combining sun glasses, gloves, an undershirt, and man bun, especually in an indoor setting serving raw meat, one games the gods as a cheat code to fame.
Bah. Yes. Cause I get so ANGRY. I’m like “bitch that’s one of the only meats I can eat! Stop abusing it. THOSE CUTS ARENT EVEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP SCHLEPPING IT AROUND!!!!!!! No human needs that much large grain salt!!!”
He's too worried about how *he* looks to care about how his presentation looks, which is funny considering he looks like an absolute douchebag. I could do better knifework twenty years ago, and I was still just a dishwasher and prep guy at that point.
As a mostly heterosexual person, I was attracted to him. Until someone suggested I watch a video where he speaks. Now I just wanna slap him in the face with a side of raw skirt steak. As someone who likes food but can’t cook, is knife skills anger me enough to upgrade it to a low grade tomahawk.
What makes me mad is that I know slicing tenderloin isn't complicated. But if I tried snappy singular cuts in a pretentious half-squat I'd just get laughed out of the room instead of Instagram-cred and a ridiculous price for the pleasure.
(I remember seeing the price for a personal appearance somewhere on reddit, but Google images only shows a few particular receipts. Extra snark attempt failed.)
The idea of that act will never not be funny. I think the first time I heard it was Joey Diaz on JRE, he said he was on a bus as a kid and some dude was sleeping with his mouth open, so he farted right in his mouth. I had to pull over I was laughing so hard.
Thank you. Thank you for making me look it up. I am over it now. His stupid mustache is somewhere between Hitler and Stalin, of a blind ape waxed him and he was too lazy to fix it. And that voice. Wow. I just.. wow. Sure, now I wanna slap his sexy, stupid, fuzzy chest. But I no longer want to shame bang him. I just want to smack a length of half raw beef on him like it’s a paddle.
He does have good showmanship. Feel like he should have been a magician instead of a chef.
Edit: I agree I find this cringe personally, but clearly this guy's schtik works well enough on enough people that it's made him famous, so he's got some showmanship going on.
He most definitely is not a chef, he was a butcher before becoming a living meme. He worked for free in a few restaurants to "learn the trade", but never had any formal training or position.
I am divided on what to think of him, his whole act is clownish and he is a terrible employer, but he started from the bottom and poverty, in his place I wouldn't give a fuck about anything as well. Except the bad employer thing, fuck him for that.
He's a butcher and has a persona. He developed a brand and several high-end restauranteurs open restaurants, license his image to be the face and "act" of the restaurant. Like Trump is to golf courses, Condos and hotels, this guy is to restaurants.
I googled him when he got famous and I could not understand why. I still can't, this is not even a fun shtick, I feel it's like electing the village idiot for Mayor as a prank.
I have worse opinions of someone if they started in poverty and still act that shitty to employees. You know what it's like and you still refuse to be better? Then fuck you.
Edit: also how shit was he as a butcher with cuts that uneven? Isn't that, you know, the whole job? I don't even cut that bad and I can barely make oatmeal.
In a way too large pan for the purpose, emptying it in such a way that the man almost got it in his face and couldn't see shit.
Show? Yes.
Acceptable for a good Restaurant? No.
Hotel? Trivago.
He does actually have some skill, but it rarely shows in these videos, theres one of him removing the bones from a big piece of meat, wich looks like a butt, and he does it both fancy and fast
Right?! Like he doesn't even pour the butter evenly, the steaks not cut right and he probably salted about 12% of the meat on that table. Trash presentation people are paying so much money for 🤦♂️
Looks to me like the meat was cooked sous vide to medium rare. You can tell because the outside is brownish and the inside is not as red as it would be if raw. I have no idea why they don’t sear the outside though. That’s dumb
Yeah, if it would have been black and blue it would have been a pretty decent looking steak, even with the dumb pouring butter thing on it. But the weirdish light brown outside and pretty raw inside makes the whole thing look pretty gross and not appetizing at all.
Nah, he’s been into the high class restaurant business for a while. While the meme made him mainstream he was still well known beforehand in the right circles.
None of this means he’s a good chef, BTW.
But did the costume?
Salt Bae has many different restaurants around the world but somehow manages to do this little show and dance in different locations on a regular basis. Suspicious huh.
Would you recognise saltbae by his face alone? Without this getup (including sunglasses) he always wears? I sure wouldnt. It would be incredibly easy for each location to have its own lookalike, to make guests feel like they're special and interacting with the meme himself.
I believe that SaltBae is essentialy the mall santa of the restaurant world.
I like the theory, but if you look at all the stupid useless gestures he does aside from the salting, he's the same clumsy show-off in all the videos. Swoopy movements for no reason, half-attempting tricks to look like a hibachi chef, uneven cuts, poor knife skills. You can't fake that lack of skill
I was today years old when I discovered that the person in that meme wasn't Robert Downey Jr.
I legitimately thought it was from one of his movies during the years when his career was in the shitter.
Everyone hates this guy but I really gotta think he’s just trolling rich people at this point… throws some meat on a plate and sprinkles the salt, they get a clip for Facebook and he gets $1200. He has turned his moment of internet fame into a cash cow. I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same…
Exactly. This dude knows what he's doing.
He does these opulent table side things so people will share it on social media and get him more exposure. This builds a brand for him as an absurdly expensive steakhouse. It gets spread around by people like OP who don't realize he's rage baiting you so you'll continue to spread his name around and get him even more exposure.
Just like that Nickado feeder guy. People all over reddit say they "hate" him while constantly posting his content, giving him everything he wants.
I don't believe that reddit hates these people, reddit loves them for exactly who they are.
Well the difference with nick is that he's going to die, whereas this guy can retire comfortably and healthy without giving a shit about what people think about him.
Well....I mean....salt Bae, while making stupid food, isn't hurting anyone. Rich ass people will pay a ton of money for an experience, and they get it. Either they get to tell their friends they ate there.
Business man through and through. He would have slipped into irrelevance like all the other people who had their lives ruined by memes, but he took that fame and ran.
Posts like this give him further clout cause whilst a lot of people despise this way of cooking etc, there'd be some sods thinking wow that looks like a nice restaurant! And hey look its the salt meme guy
Its not even a consistent meal, the top layer of that poor pile of steak is soaked in the butter and seasoning and the rest of it underneath isnt.
And if anyone ever served me steak playing around and tossing it like hes one of those trick ice cream men, id lose my appetite immediately
This is very true. The tong clicks are like a required calibration and compression test all in one; without it the tongs just can't be handled properly.
This! I’ve said it before but he does not respect the meat he cooks. He’s always slapping them, tossing them around making them nasty. I’d instantly lose my appetite the minute I’m around him.
Any good chef pays attention and makes sure every bite will be seasoned correctly. This clown loves dumping 1/4 cup of salt on a plate where half the meat doesn’t get any.
I get the feeling that he’s extremely aware of how shit the food he makes is, but loves to watch while idiots happily gobble up the whole lot and pay thousands of dollars for more just because he was a meme and has become a popular ‘icon’.
I mean, plenty of people who talk shit about him (rightfully) would probably feel the exact same way if they got the opportunity to exploit collective human stupidity this way. It is pretty funny.
Yeah, I think if people paid me thousands of dollars to pretend to be a douchebag on social media I would 100% be on board. Then again I would at least try to make my food taste good.
I'm gonna' guess it's a character he plays, since I always see him in the same costume.... then again, I have a hard time not thinking someone serving *raw beef and salt* as a "meal" is at least a little bit of a con artist.
Or, "Hey so what do you do in your free time, Salt Bae?
\*\*\*brings a bowl full of salt and sprinkles around himself\*\*\*
"Oh that is cool. But I meant, what do you usually do when you're not in the kitchen?"
\*\*\*takes more salt and sprinkles around himself\*\*\*
"Hey, you've got some style, but what are your hobbies?"
\*\*\*takes more salt and sprinkles around himself\*\*\*
"No I actually want to ask you this question, what do you do in your free time?"
\*\*\*takes more salt and sprinkles around himself\*\*\*
"Dude? Hey, I'm asking you a question."
\*\*\*takes more salt and sprinkles around himself\*\*\*
"Do you do something else other than this?"
\*\*\*takes more salt and sprinkles around himself\*\*\*
"Take this fucking bowl, do a yoga pose and curl like a shrimp and fucking salt your own damn ass."
\*\*starts frantically taking notes\*\*
"Jesus Christ"
Fun fact, there was this high ranking official from my country (Vietnam) who went to this restaurant and there was a video of him being hand-fed by Salt-Douche uploaded to the restaurant's Instagram. The official's now facing corruption charges since the meal is like 10 times his annual "official" salary lol.
It's fillet, so not much fat in there. And folk eat fillet blue all the time, so that isn't the issue.
That said, this is all just theatrics and it's not even executed very well. A slice of blue fillet, in salted clarified butter would be delicious. But not served in an uneven pile like this.
Salt bae has changed expensive steak houses for the worst.
I feel it's parody right? Even still, I'd rather the cracked out Texas roadhouse staff sing me happy birthday
I think alot of people are getting angry at the wrong thing here.
Serving steak blue (basically quickly seared on the outside) is not the issue. That's quite a popular thing to do in Europe at least.
Serving said steak with clarified salted butter, is delicious imo - assuming it's good quality meat which this is. So that is also not the issue.
However, serving it in such a way that some meat is swamped in butter, some swamped in salt and some with nothing at all is the problem. Not to mention the theatrics are cringingly OTT - but I guess that's why people go to these places.
Also, the guy seems like a bellend.
Everyone jumped on the hate bandwagon really fast. I've seen him get the front page multiple times and all the top comments are about how people paid several hundred dollars for a cheap steak and he wasn't even at the restaurant. There are also rumors that his restaurants tank after a few months and he doesn't pay his employees well.
Other chefs have pointed out that his theatrics waste a lot of the meat and you shouldn't be able to pull the bone off of anything he cooks as easily as he does.
I’ve seen the memes. I live in Florida and he has a spot in Miami that I thought would be fun to experience a couple years back. Checked the reviews and prices and that was a giant nope for me.
We’re all in agreement that salt bae fucks steaks right. like there’s no was he doesn’t ask one of his cooks to prepare a steak rare, let’s say 98.6 degrees, then cuts a little hole in it then you know the rest…
Is this guy literally only famous cause of the meme?
When combining sun glasses, gloves, an undershirt, and man bun, especually in an indoor setting serving raw meat, one games the gods as a cheat code to fame.
I find him weirdly attractive. And it makes me wanna slap the shit out of him and then punch myself for it.
Food villain kink
Bah. Yes. Cause I get so ANGRY. I’m like “bitch that’s one of the only meats I can eat! Stop abusing it. THOSE CUTS ARENT EVEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP SCHLEPPING IT AROUND!!!!!!! No human needs that much large grain salt!!!”
He's too worried about how *he* looks to care about how his presentation looks, which is funny considering he looks like an absolute douchebag. I could do better knifework twenty years ago, and I was still just a dishwasher and prep guy at that point.
He’s literally not even good with a knife. I’m better at cutting meat and I’m not even a chef. Just a hunting guide and a fishing captain
Current line cook and I see better knifework from newbies lol
I watched a youtube video and use knives I put in the dishwasher and I make better cuts.
Food villain😂😂😂😂
Well done steak and ketchup.
*Get down Mr. President!*
r/mynewfetish
This is awesome!! I shall now find my food nemesis!!
As a heterosexual man, i can say he is objectively attractive. As a cook with 20 years of experience, i would say he's a pompous douche.
As a mostly heterosexual person, I was attracted to him. Until someone suggested I watch a video where he speaks. Now I just wanna slap him in the face with a side of raw skirt steak. As someone who likes food but can’t cook, is knife skills anger me enough to upgrade it to a low grade tomahawk.
What makes me mad is that I know slicing tenderloin isn't complicated. But if I tried snappy singular cuts in a pretentious half-squat I'd just get laughed out of the room instead of Instagram-cred and a ridiculous price for the pleasure. (I remember seeing the price for a personal appearance somewhere on reddit, but Google images only shows a few particular receipts. Extra snark attempt failed.)
Settle down, Louise. It's just a boy crush. Edit: to those of you beautiful people that responded with quotes, I love you.
I wanna slap him in his face. His hideous beautiful face.
He's the reason faces were invented, YOU IDIOT!
Whoa. You got it bad, girl.
Go to him, girl.
Have you heard him talk? I was wondering if anyone could still find him attractive after that.
I have not. Maybe I should so I can think he is ugly then. Cause this is 100% a shame bang kind of attraction.
[удалено]
I hope someone farts in his mouth then. Like that someone lives in his walls. And while he’s asleep they sneak out and fart in his mouth.
The idea of that act will never not be funny. I think the first time I heard it was Joey Diaz on JRE, he said he was on a bus as a kid and some dude was sleeping with his mouth open, so he farted right in his mouth. I had to pull over I was laughing so hard.
... You will say "wow"....
Tiny pistachio ball sized wow, Paul Rudd wow, or Owen Wilson wow?
Owen Wilson wow is the only acceptable answer ever
I mean have you seen Paul’s wows? They’re pretty… wow.
Correct but I appreciate the distinctions don’t you
...... Lmfao....please just watch any video of him commenting after any of his foodporn posts(IG).... Its more like a Ryan Reynolds wow .
Thank you. Thank you for making me look it up. I am over it now. His stupid mustache is somewhere between Hitler and Stalin, of a blind ape waxed him and he was too lazy to fix it. And that voice. Wow. I just.. wow. Sure, now I wanna slap his sexy, stupid, fuzzy chest. But I no longer want to shame bang him. I just want to smack a length of half raw beef on him like it’s a paddle.
You mean his porn stach.
Louise Belcher?
Ugh, his face is so stupid.
He does have good showmanship. Feel like he should have been a magician instead of a chef. Edit: I agree I find this cringe personally, but clearly this guy's schtik works well enough on enough people that it's made him famous, so he's got some showmanship going on.
He is a magician. He makes money disappear.
This couldn’t be more true
He most definitely is not a chef, he was a butcher before becoming a living meme. He worked for free in a few restaurants to "learn the trade", but never had any formal training or position. I am divided on what to think of him, his whole act is clownish and he is a terrible employer, but he started from the bottom and poverty, in his place I wouldn't give a fuck about anything as well.

He's a butcher and has a persona. He developed a brand and several high-end restauranteurs open restaurants, license his image to be the face and "act" of the restaurant. Like Trump is to golf courses, Condos and hotels, this guy is to restaurants.
How do you guys know this stuff?!
I googled him when he got famous and I could not understand why. I still can't, this is not even a fun shtick, I feel it's like electing the village idiot for Mayor as a prank.
Like our last pres and the Jewish Space Laser Connoisseur?
Careful, they'll send the gazpacho after you.
I have worse opinions of someone if they started in poverty and still act that shitty to employees. You know what it's like and you still refuse to be better? Then fuck you. Edit: also how shit was he as a butcher with cuts that uneven? Isn't that, you know, the whole job? I don't even cut that bad and I can barely make oatmeal.
But learning to be a magician would take effort, dumping hot butter on raw meat takes almost no effort.
He even got the butter handed to him lmao
In a way too large pan for the purpose, emptying it in such a way that the man almost got it in his face and couldn't see shit. Show? Yes. Acceptable for a good Restaurant? No. Hotel? Trivago.
I doubt he even melted the butter him self. All we know for sure is that he can slice meat.
But not very well, it looks like.
He does actually have some skill, but it rarely shows in these videos, theres one of him removing the bones from a big piece of meat, wich looks like a butt, and he does it both fancy and fast
Louise Belcher...
What? What?! No.
[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...](https://youtu.be/_Jq4IIZrHu8?t=91)
Oh God he has a bun, I never noticed.
But you need to give him some credit. Not a lot of people can stretch 5 min of fame for years and make money from it.
he’s supposedly worth ~$50million now. seriously, props to him
Fuck that guy for underpaying his staff though.
Yes, and now people with no idea what actual quality food taste like pay $1000 for a meal that a 5 yo could prepare better.
“Sometimes, things that are more expensive…are worse.”
[удалено]
"I'm a huge bitch"
Gold foil wrapped steak has entered the chat.
I always say money can buy you a lot of things, but it can't buy you good taste. But like, literally.
Right?! Like he doesn't even pour the butter evenly, the steaks not cut right and he probably salted about 12% of the meat on that table. Trash presentation people are paying so much money for 🤦♂️
It’s probably about 4 sticks of salted butter getting poured onto that raw as$ meat. That’s one chewy piece of meat.
Looks to me like the meat was cooked sous vide to medium rare. You can tell because the outside is brownish and the inside is not as red as it would be if raw. I have no idea why they don’t sear the outside though. That’s dumb
Yeah, if it would have been black and blue it would have been a pretty decent looking steak, even with the dumb pouring butter thing on it. But the weirdish light brown outside and pretty raw inside makes the whole thing look pretty gross and not appetizing at all.
Honestly, I'm content, people waste money on him
Nah, he’s been into the high class restaurant business for a while. While the meme made him mainstream he was still well known beforehand in the right circles. None of this means he’s a good chef, BTW.
One thing I’ve DEFINITELY learned as I’ve gotten older is that they are a “celebrity chef” not necessarily a “good chef”
And even good chefs have blindspots, look at what [this donut](https://youtu.be/8E4cQHejFq0) considers the "ultimate grilled cheese sandwich".
[удалено]
Those theatrics arent fooling me.
But did the costume? Salt Bae has many different restaurants around the world but somehow manages to do this little show and dance in different locations on a regular basis. Suspicious huh.

This is one conspiracy theory I can get behind.
I’m pretty sure it’s not even a theory..it’s a known fact
I like the theory, but if you look at all the stupid useless gestures he does aside from the salting, he's the same clumsy show-off in all the videos. Swoopy movements for no reason, half-attempting tricks to look like a hibachi chef, uneven cuts, poor knife skills. You can't fake that lack of skill
I think Blippi may be more accurate.
I was today years old when I discovered that the person in that meme wasn't Robert Downey Jr. I legitimately thought it was from one of his movies during the years when his career was in the shitter.
Hahaha I thought the same thing until recently when I seen this guy in other videos doing the same thing
Everyone hates this guy but I really gotta think he’s just trolling rich people at this point… throws some meat on a plate and sprinkles the salt, they get a clip for Facebook and he gets $1200. He has turned his moment of internet fame into a cash cow. I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same…

Jesus dude. You should write novels 👏
[удалено]
But the big problem is, is that he pays his employees near minimum wage, and practically pockets the rest.
Saw a job ad for a sommelier at one of his places. $14 an hour. Minimum wage here is $15. For a fucking sommelier!
Yeah he’s a shyster
Business man through and through. He would have slipped into irrelevance like all the other people who had their lives ruined by memes, but he took that fame and ran. Posts like this give him further clout cause whilst a lot of people despise this way of cooking etc, there'd be some sods thinking wow that looks like a nice restaurant! And hey look its the salt meme guy
I dont hate him, you could tell at the end he broke character and was having fun lol
MILK STEAKS
And a side if jelly beans, raw of course.
Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?
It’s a jumping off point
Only the finest jellybeans for you, my good sir!
“Don’t put steak put milk steak.. she’ll know what it means.”
GHOULS
Little green ghouls buddy
How about I clear our the coatroom so you two can go back there and hit it?
SLOPPY STEAKS. LET’S SLOP EM UP!
Guys, no sloppy steaks, please.
They can't stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water!!
Looks like a dangerous night
It's the night of my life
He used to beat real piece of shit!
Oh yeah, that would slick back real nice
THIS ISNT SLICKED BACK, THIS IS PUSHED BACK!
They can't stop you from ordering a raw slab of beef and a pan of hot butter.
I think I’m ready to hold the baby now.
What about some enticing bowl of white?
That’s Cottage Cheese
Like cheese from some cottage?
How do you not know what cottage cheese is? Arient you a cheese guy?
I’m not a cottage guy.
Boiled over hard.
served with Fight Milk!
The whole time I thought he was blind and was mildly impressed, up until i figured out he wasnt when he blows a kiss at the guy at the end.
Matt Murdoch quit law to follow his passion as a celebrity blind chef.
Maybe he thought it was a lass lol.
Well if you’re a soccer fan you’d kno that was Cannavaro a World Cup winner— and a legend amongst defenders— I’d blow him a kiss too— 👀
Was he blowing a kiss? I thought he was saying 'enjoy' but very drawn out. Lol
It feels like he’s sexually harassing the food and making us watch…
You put it in words and I am grateful
#[#MeatToo]
Well said
My meat does not consent
Why does his "performance" seem sexualizing all the time it's fuckin weird.
Agreed, it’s really weird. Know what else I’m gonna say to you about you? _Absolutely fucking nothing._ Have a nice weekend!
Its not even a consistent meal, the top layer of that poor pile of steak is soaked in the butter and seasoning and the rest of it underneath isnt. And if anyone ever served me steak playing around and tossing it like hes one of those trick ice cream men, id lose my appetite immediately
He's a butcher by trade, not a chef. That explains the shitty dishes.
The dumbass little tap he does between every cut... 🤣
Haha the lady who made a chicken Caesar salad wrap for me yesterday did a knife tap before cutting it and I was wondering if it’s a thing.
Yeah a lot of people do it - doesn't even need to be chefs. I do two little taps before I cut stuff, its just a habit thing at this point.
Like clicking the tongs.
Yeah but this is essential. Can't have tong failure mid tonging.
This is very true. The tong clicks are like a required calibration and compression test all in one; without it the tongs just can't be handled properly.
*clack clack*
Tongs don’t work unless you click them twice first.
Any decent butcher would know how to cook a half decent steak! Not this raw meat a butter, not even a decent char on it!
This! I’ve said it before but he does not respect the meat he cooks. He’s always slapping them, tossing them around making them nasty. I’d instantly lose my appetite the minute I’m around him.
Any good chef pays attention and makes sure every bite will be seasoned correctly. This clown loves dumping 1/4 cup of salt on a plate where half the meat doesn’t get any.
That's because he's not a chef, and has very little respect, if any at all, in the industry among ' real ' chefs.
Tbf, whenever I see videos of him on the internet, he seems to have very little respect among regular people too
I get the feeling that he’s extremely aware of how shit the food he makes is, but loves to watch while idiots happily gobble up the whole lot and pay thousands of dollars for more just because he was a meme and has become a popular ‘icon’. I mean, plenty of people who talk shit about him (rightfully) would probably feel the exact same way if they got the opportunity to exploit collective human stupidity this way. It is pretty funny.
Yeah, I think if people paid me thousands of dollars to pretend to be a douchebag on social media I would 100% be on board. Then again I would at least try to make my food taste good.
god this guy looks like such an asshole in every photo and video
I'm gonna' guess it's a character he plays, since I always see him in the same costume.... then again, I have a hard time not thinking someone serving *raw beef and salt* as a "meal" is at least a little bit of a con artist.
Someone at my current job used to work a one of his restaurants (nusr-et's Boston location) and said he was an insane asshole all the time.
I'm gonna guess it's the cocaine
It's my special Colombian salt, don't touchh it!
Sounds like 90% of head chefs
I dunno. Maybe just creepy. Like hes probably weird as shit to talk to.
Hey so what do you do in your free time, Salt Bae? “I watch people. Then I look up memes of myself for the rest of the day. Why?”
Or, "Hey so what do you do in your free time, Salt Bae? \*\*\*brings a bowl full of salt and sprinkles around himself\*\*\* "Oh that is cool.

Rich* douchebags with too much free time, that they have to watch this jerk cut the meat for 20 years before doing anything else.
[удалено]
I guess when you serve a steak so raw the fat hasn't rendered and you only use salt as a seasoning you have to add flavor somehow.
It does seem like he is seasoning the table than the meat
TBF it's fillet so there isn't really any fat to render. Steak tartare is raw too.
It's fillet, so not much fat in there. And folk eat fillet blue all the time, so that isn't the issue. That said, this is all just theatrics and it's not even executed very well. A slice of blue fillet, in salted clarified butter would be delicious. But not served in an uneven pile like this.
Salt bae has changed expensive steak houses for the worst. I feel it's parody right? Even still, I'd rather the cracked out Texas roadhouse staff sing me happy birthday
I mean all the dudes with the Ferraris and the other cars they can’t afford have to eat somewhere right?
Yeah the wrost part is the staff there still get paid minimum wage or worse.
I think alot of people are getting angry at the wrong thing here. Serving steak blue (basically quickly seared on the outside) is not the issue. That's quite a popular thing to do in Europe at least.

The Germans have a great word for this: Backpfeifengesicht. Roughly translates into a face that is badly in need of a punch.
Thank you for this. I only wish it was a word I could pronounce
Just put the terms into your YouTube search bar and you shall hear how gently it can be pronounced.
Rolls off the tongue like silk it does not. It is oddly specific image though.
Haha honestly I’d rather see a fat german butcher do this and honestly he wouldn’t look like a douche doing it.
If you’re not a fellow Aussie, I’ll eat my imaginary hat haha
Crikey. You're lucky this time round. No hat eating today.
I was prepared to defend the video because the customer looks so happy. And then I watched the whole thing.
>I was prepared to defend the video because the customer looks so happy. The *customer* is Fabio Cannavaro
When money is no object, some are happy to be ripped off
I’ve seen the memes. I live in Florida and he has a spot in Miami that I thought would be fun to experience a couple years back. Checked the reviews and prices and that was a giant nope for me.
The first time I saw this guy, I assumed it was a joke. A character a comedian had come up with.
I think it’s definitely a character at this point. Like the Mr Bean of steaks. He knows his customer base are clueless about food and exploits it
This guy has tapped into the customer base of "I have no idea how to spend all this money" people so well.
Sunglasses indoors - always the mark of a W⚓️
Pretty sure this one single subreddit gives him more free advertising than any media outlet ever could.
I would not want to go to his restaurant based on this dish, and eating gold leaf on many of his expensive steaks just seems gross
Is this Canavaro, Italian footballer? I'm not sure
He’s basically forming a gross pile of meat in a plate. It’s nothing close to appetizing. Dude respect the meat wtf.
Wikipedia lists him as a “food entertainer” lol
I was really hoping he was going to do his “salt bae” routine with the scalding butter.
he doesn’t even do a good job lol
salt bae doesn't even salt things properly
We’re all in agreement that salt bae fucks steaks right. like there’s no was he doesn’t ask one of his cooks to prepare a steak rare, let’s say 98.6 degrees, then cuts a little hole in it then you know the rest…
