Nusret Gokcethe famous salt chef adored by celebrities and who is all the rage on social media, was present at the celebration of the Argentina national team on the pitch of the Lusail stadium after the historic consecration to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
A few hours after the celebration, the Turk, nicknamed Salt Bae, shared on his Instagram account, where he has nearly 50 million followers, photos and videos of the World Cup match and Argentine footballers.
“Congratulations. Best Team” (Congratulations, the best team), said Nusret, owner of an upscale restaurant in Doha, Qatar, frequented by Claudio Chiqui Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Federation.
However, in networks the chef was given tough questions for how he asked the players to give him the World Cup to photograph himself.
Ángel Di María, Cuti Romero and Lisandro Martinez have recorded short images with the chef, who is very preoccupied with his classic tricks with the trophy. Meanwhile, the players are looking at him with hostile faces. Even, Lisandro refuses at all times to release the World Cup and to leave it in the hands of the chef, who insists.
In the end, Salt Bae did it and got his solo picture with the ultimate soccer trophy. “Thank you,” she wrote in her post, which has garnered nearly 700,000 likes.
He has also been photographed with Lionel Messi and the goalkeeper Franco Armani, who took the champion’s medal to put it between his teeth.
One of those who questioned the unfiltered Turkish was Migue Granados. Without filters, the comedian shared some videos of the chef and expressed: “Stop touching the glass of your mother’s shell and learn how to barbecue.”
“How dense is Salt Bae”, “He just takes the field because and starts trying to take the cup from the players to take a picture. How childish and with how little respect, I can’t stand this boy”, “The puppet of Salt Bae playing with the World Cup minutes after it was delivered perfectly symbolizes the corruption and privilege that permeated the entire World Cup in Qatar,” were some of the many messages that piled up on the networks.
The fanaticism of Nusr-Et by the Argentines
“I love Argentina. I was there in 2007. Zero English, zero Spanish and less than 500 dollars in my pocket. I went there especially for my job. I went to the countryside to learn about meat and how to cook it. I went to see the restaurants where I worked for free to learn the trade. I knew the basics, but I wanted to learn something different. You know: Argentines love meat as much as football and tango,” said the chef clarion in the middle of the World Cup in his restaurant, where he received Marcelo Tinelli, among many Argentines.
And on the possibility of opening his own restaurant in Argentina, he highlighted: “It’s an idea that I have and that I want to do. Now I have many jobs, but it’s something I absolutely want to do. I love Argentina.”
