Piers Morgan shared a video of himself enjoying a steak at Salt Bae’s restaurant, and the cringe was off the scale

You may remember Turkish chef and restaurateur Salt Bae (also known as Nusret Gökçe) from when he first went viral in 2017 for his ridiculously extravagant way of slicing and seasoning meat. It’s a technique which would have got him sacked on day one if he’d been working at a Toby Carvery, but people with more money than sense tend to love this kind of thing.

Now Piers Morgan has shared a video of himself on Twitter enjoying the crackpot culinary experience at Salt Bae’s restaurant in Dubai (where else?). It looks more like a public humiliation than a meal out, but what do we know? Let’s have a look.

People had thoughts. Entertaining thoughts.

1.

I'll never understand why people want to eat in a pretentious way when it's just performative nonsense for douchery.

Not gonna lie, but that’s possibly one of the cringiest things I’ve ever seen.

Like the rest of Dubai—flashy, theatrical, and utterly devoid of subtlety. By the time he’s done with the seasoning showboating, the steak’s colder than his table manners.

Imagine paying money to watch this guy slice the meat then dribble salt down his hairy arm then you sit there with your mouth open waiting for him to slowly lower meat into your mouth https://t.co/wfzqX3W4iQ
