Who Is The "Salt Bae?"

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
