Salt Bae

The shape of the meat and the taste of it starting from the top down is a part of me. All of my feelings are coming from inside of the meat down to when I put the salt onto the meat.

In Turkey, butchering was a low-class, degrading job. Now, thanks to me, all the kids want to become butchers.

My father and mother do not know literacy. I cannot go to school due to financial difficulties. I started to working at a butcher as an apprentice when I was 14.

Without much money, I traveled to Argentina to see the meat industry, and after that, I wanted to travel to the United States, but I was refused a visa 5 or 6 times, but I never gave up.

Being tired isn't anything. What's important is the mind. The body being tired isn't important. You can get over the body being tired by resting for a half-hour or an hour. What's important is whether the mind is tired.

Meat has become a passion for me.

I love myself.

I get all of my motivation from my customers.

In New York, there are many steakhouses. We would like to show that Nusr-et is different than the others in service, meat quality, and connection with the customers.

I'm not a movie star, but I still get my photograph taken when I walk down the street, hundreds of times. I never say no.

It shows that I'm an international brand if I open up in New York.

My new hometown is America. But I live with my work.
