'Salt Bae' is our new favourite meme! - by Erin Rooney

So your Facebook feed may have been inundated recently with this photo of a suave Turkish man sprinkling salt so fabulously that you simply can't look away. But who is 'Salt Bae'?

The Turkish chef who has taken the Internet by storm is called Nusret Gokce, and he's the co-owner of a steakhouse in Istanbul. He first got people's attention with this unique video of him serving up a rack of lamb.

Watch closely as he deftly slices the Ottoman steak, carefully holding it in place. But notice the plentiful bowl of salt in the background. He's gonna need that real soon.
