Vignesh Shivan Meets The Viral Salt Bae Chef, Praises His Energy And Amazing Food
Vignesh Shivan called Salt Bae a 'sweet host' and praised him for making 'everyone around happy.'
Vignesh Shivan, the South film director and husband of actress Nayanthara, seemingly celebrated Easter in Dubai. Taking to his Instagram account on Tuesday, April 22, the Paava Kadhaigal director revealed that he had met with one of the world's most celebrated chefs, Nusret Gokce, also known as Salt Bae. The latter owns a chain of luxury steakhouses named Nusr-Et and Vignesh happened to visit the one in Dubai.
In the reel which the filmmaker shared, Salt Bae could be seen showcasing his striking cutting skills while Vignesh curiously watched him do so. After the chef had finely cut the steak, he placed the pieces on a hot sizzler plate. Following this, Salt Bae, who is most popular for his unique way of sprinkling salt, asked Vignesh to imitate his way. Once the 39-year-old director was done showcasing his amatuer skills, Salt Bae took over and flaunted his signature style of sprinkling salt.
The two even shared a fist bump towards the end of the reel. In the caption, Vignesh wrote, 'Love the style of @nusr_et, the energy, the amazing food. Thank you for being a sweet host and making everyone around happy #HappyEaster." The Naanum Rowdy Dhaan director set the reel to one of Pushpa's BGM mixes and turned off the comment section of the post.
