Salt Bae Is Hiring Chefs For His London Restaurant & The Wage Is The Price Of His Steakhouse's Mashed Potato

Nusret G?k?e, popularly known as Salt Bae, got famous back in 2017 after showcasing his unusual seasoning style. The man got so famous that he now owns a global chain of luxury steakhouses that are going popular for their exorbitant prices.?

Salt Bae’s lavish London restaurant has been under fire in recent weeks. First, it was the sky-high prices – ?700 for a steak – and then the luxury eatery was accused of deleting negative customer reviews.

Some customers even shared the bill of the restaurant and the prices were criticised on social media.?

Now, the celebrity hangout is hiring new chefs but the hourly wage has raised eyebrows, as it’s the same as the price of mashed potato on his menu. The UK branch of Nusret G?k?e’s famous chain of meat restaurants promises a ‘competitive salary’ for applicants – but some aren’t happy that this only seems to be worth a potato side dish.

If you managed to land the role as a Chef de Partie at the Knightsbridge restaurant, you’ll take home ?12-?13.50 an hour, plus tips. With your hourly wage, you could order a side portion of mash – or a corn on the cob in Nusr-Et. But if you wanted to try the ?630 golden tomahawk steak, you would have to work for 52 hours.

The job ad was posted on?Caterer.com?and it read,?Amazing opportunity for an experienced Chef De Partie to join the Nusret team in the new restaurant in London!?‘As a Chef De Partie, you will be working with some of the finest ingredients from the UK and abroad in one of the most famous steakhouses in the world. ‘You will play a vital part in a large team and will support the Head Chef during service.

‘To the successful candidate, Nusret London offers a highly competitive salary and excellent opportunities to develop a global career. ‘If you’re a Chef de Partie looking to work the famous steakhouse, send your CV, we want to hear from you!’

It is little wonder Salt Bae is hiring, as his mass hiring spree last month didn’t turn out as planned –?The Sun revealed not a single responded to the recruitment call-out?for waiters, runners, bartenders and other roles.

Now, Nusret London is far from the only high-end restaurant that has prices that are inaccessible to its own staff, but the bills at the Instagram-famous chef’s place are particularly eye-watering.

The restaurant’s specials include a Golden Giant Tomahawk steak for ?1,450, Golden Giant Striplion for ?1,350 and Golden Kafes for ?500.

Just like the pricey side of mash, even the smaller items are very expensive – an onion flower costs ?18, while a Coke is ?9 and a Red Bull is ?11.
