It’s safe to say that Salt Bae has really made the most of viral fame. The 38-year-old, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, became a meme due to his unorthodox seasoning method in 2017, and now owns a global chain of upscale steakhouses known for their impressive cuts of meat, extravagant presentation and spectacular. expensive menus.
Salt Bae hires chefs at an hourly wage equivalent to the price of the restaurant’s mashed potato
The Knightsbridge restaurant is looking for an experienced chef de partie to join its team, offering a ‘highly competitive salary’ of $16.35 to $18.39 per hour, plus tips.
To put that in context, £12 is what the restaurant charges for a portion of mashed potato. So I would expect the staff to at least get a discount on meals.
The job advert says: “Amazing opportunity for an experienced Chef De Partie to join the Nusret team at the new London restaurant!
“As Chef De Partie, you will be working with some of the finest ingredients from the UK and abroad at one of the world’s most famous steakhouses.
“You will play a pivotal role in a great team and support the head chef during service.
“For the successful candidate, Nusr-Et London offers a highly competitive salary and excellent opportunities to develop a global career.
“If you are a Chef de Partie looking to work in the famous restaurant specializing in meats, send your CV, we want to hear from you!”
You would think of all the restaurants, Nusret London would have no problem finding staff, but it seems that even the highly publicized Salt Bae restaurant is struggling with labor shortages.
The restaurant recently held three open hiring days, but when a reporter from the Evening Standard went to check out the buzz, they were surprised to find no one there.
The reporter wrote: “I’m surprised to see no queues or crowds; in fact, not a single person outside eagerly clutching their CV.
