About this person

Born 9 August 1983, Nusret Gökçe worked as a butcher before his theatrical method of seasoning meat caught fire online in January 2017. The viral moment gave him a nickname, Salt Bae, and a platform to scale. He founded Nusr-Et - his first name plus et, Turkish for meat - and expanded the luxury steakhouse concept across continents. By 2021 the chain stretched through Turkey, Greece, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. The wrist flick became a franchise.
