Leonardo, Rihanna + 3.4 Million Insta Fans: Meet Salt Bae The Hottest Chef In The World

Salt Bae

#Foodporn is nothing new on Instagram. Search for the hashtag and you'll find over 111 million photos and videos of slow melting cheese and oozing poached eggs. But taking it to the next level for 2017, is Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe AKA @nusr_et. When a video of him wearing a deep scoop white t-shirt, and dark ray-bans slicing and salting a steak appeared a couple of weeks, the Internet went cray, turning him into a viral sensation overnight and spawning many the hilarious meme. It even earned him his own moniker Salt Bae, thanks to his combination of sensual salt sprinkling. And now he can add Hollywood actor to his ever-growing list of 3.4 million followers on Instagram - as he shared a photo of himself demonstrating his salting skills to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Gökçe uploaded the photo of the actor at his Dubai grill house (the chef also has a restaurant in Turkey and is planning to open branches in New York and London later this year too.) DiCaprio joins Rihanna and Roger Federer who have both been snapped at the Nusr-et chain grill houses and Rihanna has even been snapped wearing a t-shirt bearing an illustration of him.

So what is about Gökçe's that has everyone double-tapping? Well, apart from his signature tight white tee and genetically blessed visage, it's all about his meat handling and salting technique. Think less functional meat carver, more #meatporn producer. Take his Ottoman steak video where he effortlessy glides a blade through the flesh before pausing, taking a step back, then sprinkling coarse salt with his signature move. Unsurprisingly many of the 48K comments mentioning his fingering skills are definitely NSFW. James Corden even called it 'the most erotic' thing has ever seen.

In an interview, Gökçe explained that his flamboyant seasoning isn't 'to show off' but his way of 'blessing the meat.'

However, his skills don't just stop at carving.

He's also a dab hand with fire...

And de-boning

And errr massaging cows...

Definitely not one for vegans to follow.
