A recent dinner at Salt Bae’s restaurant in Dubai has left people stunned after the customer’s bill totalled a staggering $108,000. The receipt, shared by the renowned chef himself, has sparked widespread criticism and disbelief.
The enormous bill has raised eyebrows, with many questioning how someone could spend such an extravagant amount on a single meal. To put things into perspective, $108,000 is equivalent to more than a year’s salary for many people, or even the price of a house.
Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, has been criticized for sharing the receipt on social media, with many accusing him of flaunting the expensive meal. The chef’s restaurants are known for being pricey, but this bill takes the cake.
A closer look at the itemized receipt reveals the customer’s lavish spending. The bill includes $13 fries, three ‘Golden Steaks’ totalling almost $1,400, and an impressive selection of fine wines and cognacs. The drinks alone totalled over $80,000, with four porn star martinis, two bottles of Chateau Petrus, and five double glasses of Louis XIII cognac.
The meal was rounded off with 11 ‘Golden Baklava’ desserts, costing $1,250. A generous tip of $24,500 was added to the bill, bringing the total to a staggering $108,000.
Salt Bae’s response to the criticism was casual, saying “Money comes, money goes.” However, many people have expressed their outrage and disbelief at the enormous bill, with some calling it excessive and wasteful. Others have joked that they could cook a better steak for a fraction of the price.
