CELEBRITY chef and restaurateur Salt Bae has been slammed for his unrealistic food prices that cost diners a whopping £85,000 bill for a single meal.
People were astonished to see the breakdown of the cheque which included a £360 gold steak and a staggering £56,000 wine.

The diners, who visited Salt Bae’s restaurant Nusr-Et Dubai on January 20, paid an eye-popping AED398,630 (£85,000).
And the steak chef – named Nusret Gokce – sparked fury after he posted a picture of the bill on his Instagram, where he is followed by 54million people.
The bill shows that the diners, who have not been named, tucked into a £60 beef carpaccio, three golden steaks priced at £1100, and a golden filet mignon at £ 240.
Even a single portion of chips cost them a choking £10.70.
To compliment the meat fest, the diners ordered four Porn Star Martinis for £100 and three bottles of wine – two Chateau Petrus 2009 and one Petrus 2011 for a staggering £56,000.
They finished off the meal with a round of doubles of exclusive Louis XIII cognac for another £6000.
The bill shows they even coughed up some £19,000 just in tips!
Salt Bae shamelessly captioned his post: “Money comes, money goes.”
But the blatant brag brought a flood of protest from local and social media – especially from Turkey, his home country.
Many felt it was an insult to ordinary hard-working Turks who are struggling to cope with more than 60 per cent inflation and a 10 per cent unemployment rate.
people flocked to the comment section to criticise the unrealistic prices at Salt Bae’s restaurant.
One such person said: “This is a case when people have more money than common sense.”
Another wrote: “My carpenter can cook better.”
Turkish newspaper Yenicag has accused Salt Bae of flaunting his wealth as “citizens struggle to make ends meet with a three-cent minimum wage.”
This is not the first incident where people were left speechless at the staggering amount the steak chef charges at his restaurants.
Last year, a food blogger, who goes by “South Dallas Foodie”, spent £3,722 on a meal at Nusr-Et.
It included £15 for a side of mashed potatoes and £804 for a steak.
Commenting on the bill, the food blogger said: “In what universe does spaghetti cost 80 bucks per serving????”
One user was appalled and slammed the restaurant saying: “Tomahawk steaks and JW Blue! Overpriced garbage for people who don’t know any better.”
Another person added: “Although I’ve never met them I am positive that these people are a**holes.”
