People couldn't believe how much money people were willing to spend at the Dubai restaurant owned by Nusret Gökçe, AKA Salt Bae.

Internet sensation and chef Nusret Gökçe, best known as Salt Bae, has left the internet in shock after sharing a patron's receipt from a meal at one of his restaurants.

The check, racked up at his Nusr-Et Steakhouse Dubai at the Four Seasons resort in Dubai, costs more than some people's homes: a staggering $108,000.


People online have been astonished by the bill—and not in the good way.

Along with the caption "money comes money goes," Salt Bae showed a photo of the customers' receipt, which showed seemingly gazillions of items at truly astonishing prices.

There's a $270 filet mignon, three $1700 steaks and two bottles of champagne at $27,000 each, just for starters.

There were also nearly $25,000 in tips included, so at least whatever person with more money than sense who racked up this bill had it in them to take care of the staff.

But while Salt Bae, ever the showman, seemed to think the receipt would leave people impressed, it seems to have had the opposite effect.

People on social media were instead kind of disgusted by the absurd wealth and consumerism the receipt reflects.


Though some people couldn't help but respect Salt Bae's hustle.



But others pointed out another layer to the story: Salt Bae's food is pretty widely known to be... well, not very good.

His restaurant empire has been plagued with financial problems, and some of his restaurants have faced closures, including his infamous New York burger restaurant once deemed "the worst restaurant in New York."

There's no better place than Dubai to get the more-money-than-sense crowd to part with their gazillions. Let it never be said that Salt Bae isn't resourceful!

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
