Celebrity steak chef Salt Bey caused a stir last week when he published receipts for $108,500 per meal at a restaurant in Dubai. “Money is coming, money is going,” the 40-year-old Turkish chef, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, posted on Instagram along with a video of his receipt.
Internet users claimed the lengthy bill was an insult to hardworking Turkish people struggling to cope with 60% rising inflation and 10% unemployment, Newsflash reported.
Guests at Salt Baise Nusruet Steakhouse Dubai at the Four Seasons Resort on Saturday dined on beef carpaccio, fries, salad, baklava and fruit.
Dinner also featured sumptuous gold-covered meats, including a filet mignon and three steaks.
For drinks, diners can enjoy four Porn Star martinis ($130), two bottles of Château Petrus 2009 ($53,900), one bottle of Petrus 2011 ($17,700), and a fine Louis XIII Cognac Neat. I drank 5 double glasses ($7500).
Diners also tipped $24,500.
But Salt Bey’s blatant boast didn’t sit well with Instagram users.
“With that food bill, my brother could have fed the entire Gaza Strip for a month,” one user wrote.
Another user wrote: “The most overrated and overpriced restaurant.”
A third user wrote: “Imagine being this rich and spending all your money on worthless food…”
A fourth user commented: “That would feed at least 100,000 starving children around the world! What a shame!”
“It shows why this world is failing and why we are in this situation,” a fifth user wrote.
