Who Is The "Salt Bae?"
Popsugar

You guys are probably all familiar with the "Salt Bae." For those of you who aren't, the "Salt Bae" is a Turkish chef who has garnered all sorts of social media buzz due to the way the he romanticizes and perfectly slices his meats. The Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gokce, is a very attractive man with black hair that's long enough to create a man bun, a face that's chiseled by God himself and a personality which is as extra as anyone could ever imagine.

Just look at the way he sprinkles that salt. This man is the literal definition of extra.

According to the Turkish media outlet Aksam, Nusret was born in 1983 to a coal miner. As one of five children, Nusret could not attend school as financial issues were a major concern for his family. So to make a living for himself, Nusret became a butcher's apprentice in his teens. Prior to opening up his first steakhouse restaurant in 2010, Nusret travelled all across the world, from Argentina to New York, constantly perfecting his craft. Now that he owns seven steakhouse restaurants in Turkey and Dubai, the Salt Bae is riding on Cloud Nine.

The Salt Bae already has over a million followers on Instagram. While he's not making love with his meats or doing intense boxing workouts to perfect his sculpted body, Nusret is seen spending time with his children. How many children does the Salt Bae have? He is the proud father of nine beautiful children. On one of his Instagram posts, he captioned the below picture with the following: “The man who does not spend time with his family is not a real man.”

By no means is the Salt Bae an "unknown chef." Nusret has long been associated as a rockstar in his native Turkey. All of his restaurants has garnered lots of attention from international celebrities and athletes. Now that he's going viral on social media, he's getting a lot more recognition that he could ever imagine. Even Bruno Mars hilariously tweeted out the iconic picture of the Salt Bae dramatically sprinkling salt onto a slab of ribs.

Never change, Salt Bae. In the words of Bruno Mars, you're amazing just the way you are.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
