Among the world's large and small Internet celebrities, Turkish chef Nusret is certainly very special, in 2017 he became popular with a unique dramatic salt brother gesture, not only became a well-known meme on the Internet, but also the nickname of "Salt Bae". A business-minded man, he has also taken advantage of the surge in popularity to expand his Turkish steakhouse, Nusr-Et, around the world, and today he has opened 15 branches in several first-tier cities.
Nusr-Et restaurant features not only this amazing owner, but also the ridiculously expensive prices! In September this year, during the opening of the UK branch, many local netizens shared their sky-high bills on social networking sites, and one of the local tycoons spent 37,023 pounds (325,000 yuan) on a meal with three friends, which was jaw-dropping! If you look closely at the menu, two bottles of red wine priced at tens of thousands of pounds are the focus, although most people think that "salt brothers" came to London to grab money, but there are still people who can afford to eat!
Instead of scaring away guests, unreasonable pricing has led many to see it as a platform to showcase their financial resources. Although the 1,450-pound (12,756 yuan) gold leaf grilled steak in front of Petrus red wine seems a bit pediatric, as the main dish of Nusr-Et restaurant, it is still a sky-high food that ordinary people can't afford to eat.
The thick bone-boned steak is covered with a layer of noble edible gold leaf, and even if you don't eat it, it will feel very shocking just by looking at it! Maybe these are the top ingredients! However, on the social networking site, there is a brother named "Harrison Webb" who personally started it himself and restored the so-called gold leaf grilled steak in reality. Interestingly, he listed the cost of the ingredients as well. I believe that everyone thinks that "Salt Brother" is really a pit!
All the ingredients are lined up and the 1.4kg boned steak (of the highest quality) costs £32.92, plus seasonings such as cream, parsley and garlic. Among them, the highest cost is naturally "edible gold leaf", a large piece cost him 28 pounds, all the costs after the total of 64.22 pounds, about NT$565! Judging from the picture, although I don't know the difference in taste, the details in other aspects are very similar.
In addition, many customers on the Internet who actually went to eat said that the legendary gold leaf grilled steak was not particularly delicious, and the taste and grade of ingredients did not match the price. In addition, according to professional gourmets and commentators, gold leaf does not bring any flavor to the steak, adds a different texture, and the only use is to look beautiful, resulting in an increase in price.
Maybe the netizens' homemade more than sixty pounds of gold leaf grilled steak is better than the 1450 pound gold leaf grilled steak!
