Salt Bae Feeding Dr. Oz Steak Is Too Sensual To Watch

Salt Bae, aka chef Nusret Gökçe, recently landed in hot water for carrying the FIFA World Cup trophy that very few are supposed to have access to (via CNN). However, it was hardly the first time that the Turkish celebrity chef had been in the news.

Few had heard of Gökçe before his videos went viral on social media in 2017, per People. But when the world saw the Turkish chef slice and salt meat in what became an iconic meme-worthy move, Gökçe soon shot to fame and was given the nickname Salt Bae. So what made the simple task of salting and slicing meat so viral? The sensual way in which Gökçe did it, of course!

Some netizens found Salt Bae's videos to be the very definition of food porn. Others painted a more colorful picture: "With every #Saltbae video I feel as uncomfortable as I would if I was watching porn with my own parents," confessed a Twitter user. The "Late Late Show" host James Corden went on to say that Salt Bae's skills were probably "the most erotic thing" that he had ever seen.

As it turns out, slicing and salting meat isn't the only erotic thing about Salt Bae's videos. Since his rise to fame, Gökçe has been photographed feeding several celebs — including Dr. Oz — in videos that are almost too sensual to watch.

While Salt Bae may have started off his career as a social media celeb, he now runs a popular chain of restaurants called Nusr-Et that have a rep for being the go-to spot for celebrities. Salt Bae has even been photographed with a string of famous faces at his restaurants, including Naomi Campbell, David Beckham, and Jason Statham (via Evening Standard). Sometimes the chef just gives them an in-person reenactment of his online videos and other times, he actually feeds them.

When fellow Turk Mehmet Cengiz Öz, better known as Dr. Oz, dined at Nusr-Et a few years ago, Salt Bae not only sliced and salted the meat in his signature style but also went on to feed a slice of it to Dr. Oz himself. In a YouTube video that's almost too sensual to watch, Dr. Oz can be seen mimicking Nusret Gökçe's salting gesture and then poking his tongue out to savor the juicy slice of meat that the chef feeds him.

Gökçe also later appeared on Dr. Oz's show, but people aren't too pleased with Salt Bae's appearance on the show. After Salt Bae does some cooking on the show, Dr. Oz pulls the chef aside for a round of pull-ups, saying that "the real challenge is not with the meat, it's the meat inside of him." One Redditor wrote that "this was just like watching two 14-year-olds hanging out," and another added, "everything Oz does is cringe." It seems that Salt Bae feeding Dr. Oz isn't the only thing netizens are finding hard to watch.
