Proof That Even Celebrities Totally Lose Their Cool Around Salt Bae

Feb 23 2017 - 10:45am

Since becoming an internet sensation, Nusret Gökce — commonly referred to as Salt Bae — has blessed several celebrities with his over-the-top seasoning skills. In early February, the chef cooked for Leonardo DiCaprio [1] at his Nusr-Et Steakhouse in Dubai. Weeks later, he made an appearance at the 2017 Laureus World Sports Awards, where he met notable athletes like Simone Biles and Michael Phelps [2].

In an incredible video shared by Simone, Nusret carefully and extravagantly dropped a dash of salt [3] on her food. Simone's caption read, "Got my food salted by the one and only." Prior to going viral, however, Nusret hosted a few famous faces [4] at his restaurant — like Tommy Hilfiger, for example. Look ahead for pictures of Salt Bae and his many celebrity encounters.
