I dined at one of Salt Bae’s restaurants but will never go back – the reason is shocking
A FOOD lover has vowed to never again dine at one of Salt Bae’s restaurants after being left disappointed.
Gustavo Tosta, who runs Guga Foods on TikTok, insisted he can make a steak that tastes just as good as the celebrity chef‘s – but with a smaller price tag.
He and a friend were left stunned when they realised it was going to cost a whopping $1,200 (£900) for just the two of them to eat.
Gustavo said in a TikTok video: “Here’s the reason I would never go back to Salt Bae‘s restaurant.
“We arrived in the restaurant all happy and then we find out the price.”
His friend can be heard saying in a clip from the eatery: “Holy s**t. $1,200 for two people?”
The pair ordered one of Salt Bae‘s famed gold leaf steaks but they were not impressed with what they dished up.
Gustavo said: “It just tasted like a regular steak so I went ahead and cooked my own.
“I seasoned it with salt, freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder. Then I went ahead and took it outside and cooked it on the grill.
“But I was missing one ingredient – gold. And guess how much this cost me. $8. And I was able to cover the whole steak with it.
“Now the big question is, is it better?”.
Another of his friends then tasted the steak, and insisting “I can’t taste the difference”.
It comes after a diner revealed how he racked up a £7,100 bill at another of Salt Bae’s restaurants -despite not ordering steak.
TikTok user Mitch showed off a receipt including £43 for a cheese starter and £13.50 for a small side of mashed potato.
Meanwhile, Turkish social media star Salt Bae – real name Nusret Gökçe – has come under fire for his antics at the World Cup final.
The fame hungry chef has been slammed after badgering Messi for a selfie, as well as cringey videos with the Argentina captain, Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewansowski.
His rap sheet also includes picking up the World Cup trophy, a privilege reserved for the winning players, heads of state and FIFA officials, and grabbing and biting a player’s medal.
