Meet Saltbae, The Turkish Butcher Melting Hearts On The Internet

Sassy AF.

Meet Nusret Gökçe, a handsome and incredibly suarve Turkish butcher, who has made hearts melt across the world wide web.

The pony-tailed, moustachioed gent has already got a legion of more than one million Instagram followers, but a recent video of his meat-chopping ways has gone viral.

He quickly became a meme, earning himself the name #Saltbae due to the magnificent way he sprinkles salt on the hunk of meat.

Behold.
