Bae has worked for free in local restaurants in various countries such as Argentina and the United States. She worked for free to gain experience as a chef and start her restaurant career. In 2010 she opened her first restaurant in Istanbul. In 2014 she opened another restaurant in Dubai.

Bae rose to fame in January 2017 after a series of her cooking videos went viral on the internet. She reportedly went viral after a video titled “Ottoman Steak” was posted on her restaurant’s Twitter account. The video has been viewed around 10 million times on Instagram. In viral videos, she was seen carefully butchering the meat and sprinkling it with salt.

His unique style of spreading salt earned him the fame of Salt Bae. He has a particular habit of dripping salt from his fingertips onto his forearm and then pouring the salt into a container. While his dish looks delicious on the outside, it has received mixed reviews from critics. New York Post columnist Steve Cuozzo called his hamburger steak bland and overcooked. Similarly, other reviewers have described their dishes as overly salty and overpriced.

Salt Bae recently opened his new restaurant in London. He also shared a sneak peek of his new NusrEt Steakhouse London restaurant on Instagram. However, buyers are not entirely satisfied with the exorbitant cost of dishes. One of the customers who visited his restaurant recently tweeted an invoice showing the total bill to be £1821.40.

Twitter user Muttaqi shared a tweet on September 27, 2021 in which he wrote: “It’s cheaper to fly and eat at a Turkish restaurant in Salt Bae than go to one in London. €9 for a coke. £630 for a tomahawk steak No thanks.” He also shared a photo of the bill with the total amount due and the cost of the meals.
