All good things must come to an end they say, but New York’s worst-rated restaurant was even that good! For the ones confused, we are talking about the restaurant opened by a viral sensation, Nusr-et a.k.a the Salt Bae. After rising to fame in 2017 from a video of him sprinkling salt on raw meat, the Turkish Butcher launched many restaurants. One of the most infamous outputs was certainly NYC one. And after a lot of bad reviews, the Salt Bae Burger, in NYC has shut down.

Did You Salt Bae Sold Milkshakes For $99?
The eatery, which had a unique menu that included a complimentary “ladies’ burger” with pink buns and a $99 gold milkshake, was situated in Manhattan’s Union Square district. Not to mention the renowned Salt Bae Burger, known for its “Wagyu meat” and “oozy toppings”.
This restaurant closure doesn’t surprise us as we are no guest to the scorching reviews Salt Bae has received in the past. Over the years, the company has been the target of numerous lawsuits alleging sexual harassment and payment fraud. One of the former employees once said that working for the butcher was similar to participating in the Hunger Games. You were always under some sort of observation and had to be ready to face his wrath at any given minute.
The Turkish Butcher turned Chef still gains a lot of followers and guests in his other restaurants. Salt Bae currently owns luxury steak houses in Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, the US, the UK and Greece. So shutting down one of these many restaurants is hardly going to affect the renowned personality.
