Salt Bae’s London restaurant has a lavish chef program. However, the hourly wage is almost the same as the price of mashed potatoes on the menu.
The celebrity hotspot Nusr-Et Steakhouse is in Knightsbridge and is owned by Nusret Gokce (turkish butcher-turned-chef), better known as Salt Bae. His theatrical season-sprinkling antics earned him more than 38 million followers on Instagram since 2017.
In need of a Chef de Partie to join the UK branch of Nusret’s chain, the restaurant advertised the role on Caterer.com and is offering just £12 an hour, plus tips, which is the price of mashed potatoes or sweet corn at the newly opened upscale eatery.
Customer receipts from Salt Bae’s restaurant has proved too much to stomach for some Britons after they went viral for showing the staggering costs – with a single steak priced at £630 and just four Red Bulls costing £44.

But the restaurant has been widely slammed by critics and foodies, with the Guardian’s Jay Rayner taking a £8.50 kebab from Fulham’s Kebab Kid to eat outside the restaurant in protest.
