Since then, he’s been dubbed “Salt Bae” and video of him dusting the cut of meat has been transformed into gifs. More than 10 million people have watched his Instagram video.
“I’m the happiest man in the world,” Gökçe told NBC News from Dubai. “So far, we’ve been the conversation.”
He’s even caught the attention of Leonardo DiCaprio.

Ersolmaz said Gökçe performed a cutting show for DiCaprio and provided him with a personalized menu.
