Salt Bae voted, and it definitely deserves a new Photoshop Battle
Salt Bae just won't quit being Salt Bae.
We first met Turkish chef and meat-salting wizard Nusret Gökçe when he uploaded a video of himself simply slicing a steak and flashily sprinkling salt upon the meat.
We thought that was the end of Salt Bae as we knew him. We thought he'd be a flash-in-the-pan meme; a fire that would burn out as quickly as the one he uses to cook his now famous steak.
But no. Salt Bae is still doing his thing and not letting go of his 15 minutes. He has since moved on from meat to politics and has added his signature style to casting his vote in the Turkish referendum yesterday.
Sigh.
That poor man behind him. So confused.
People on Reddit took this perfect opportunity to, for some reason, continue the circulation of this man-meme hybrid in a Photoshop Battle of the ages that shows Salt Bae being Salt Bae in the most unlikely circumstances.
Here's the mail, it never fails...
Yer a wizard, Harry.
Dance, Salt Bae, dance.
This man is the true star.
Salt Bae has become a national treasure.
This poor man didn't ask to be caught up in Salt Bae's fame tornado.
Happy Valentine's Day! Love, Salt Bae.
You used to call me on my salt phone...
~Swish~
