Salt Bae is a nickname given to Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, who was widely discussed on social media following the circulation of a viral video in which he flamboyantly sprinkles salt on a carved steak.

On January 7th, 2017, Gökçe uploaded a video of himself carving a steak and sprinkling salt over his forearm on to the meat. Within 48 hours, the video gained over 2.4 million views and 8,700 comments. That day, Twitter user @lolalissaa reposted the video along the the message "so this is #saltbae."
