- Nusret Gökçe nicknamed Salt Bae, is a Turkish butcher, chef, food entertainer and restaurateur famed for suavely cutting meat and sprinkling salt and dropping it from his fingertips to his forearm, and then onto the dish.
He now has a more casual sit down Burger Restaurant in union square New York City called #saltbae Burger which seems to be more reasonably priced, although you can still get a gold plated burger for over $100.
We have to ask the question Is Saltbae Burger NYC a PRETENTIOUS OVERPRICED GIMMICK for GOONS with more MONEY than SENSE? Let's find out as The MacMaster Reviews The Saltbae Burger and Saltbae Baklava Milkshake.

John Travolta was shocked by a $5 shake in Pulp Fiction, I'd love to see his reaction to a $75 shake!
I’m not a fan but he’s donating 5000 meals daily to earthquake victims so I guess I’ll give it a try
5000? Can also do 10.000. Look at the prices he ask.
@@gerardbosvonhohenfels1866 how many earthquake victims are you personally helping?
@@gerardbosvonhohenfels1866 ask being the definitive word, you're not abducted into his restaurant and forced to purchase a meal..do something positive and give to the rescue fund if you haven't already.
It’s probably more to do with repairing his image. Maybe I’m being cynical, but he’s been banned from a lot of public events after his stunt at the World Cup.
Good on him for helping. Either way, he’s doing something good.
How can the restaurant’s in America charge these prices and then expect the customer to pay the staff on top the whole thing has gone crazy the owner should pay the staff a living wage
It's not America charging these prices as a whole? It's NYC! Gordon Ramsay sells the same cheeseburger at Harrod's for $106 and it doesn't include fries that's an additional $8. They're both tourist traps.
Loving the NYC vlogs. Was singing along with the different strokes song with you! Looking forward to the next vlogs!👍
That is how burgers at higher end restaurants serve their burgers in America unless you tell them well done. Don’t be afraid of rare beef it’s wonderful
Very funny review…. That $$ for a shake? That’s the funniest part 😂 Thanks for the vlog.
❤ this channel great review
Love your New York videos
Loved this video ❤
What did I think of this video in one word erm WOW 😂Nice one Lee 👍
The background music played over the video was genius mr….wow 😂
That looked amazing. I am completely surprised, that shake looked like it was a work of art.
Nice One Pal .💯great Vlog❤.
Great review, Mac. I tasted that burger all the way in Virginia. Your comment about bleu cheese is very accurate. There is a big difference between a fake blue cheese and a real layer of real blue cheese chunks layered below a quality burger. I used to get a bleu cheese burger down here that was decadent and delicious. From the soft, warm, toasted sesame seed bun, through the crunchy, crisply fried onions into that decadently juicy and tasty quality burger right into that tart, high quality blue cheese, yea, that looks like a fantastic burger indeed. The fries looked tasty too. Salt Bea's act got your attention but he and his crews attention to food quality will keep you coming back. Well done, Salt Bae and crew. Next time, I'd pass on the shake and get two burgers. And go home and pass out happy.
McMaster you lucky Burger that all looked sooo good, love your videos.
A number of people have mentioned the size of the burger. It didn't look very large to me, either. Remember that a 6 oz. burger is only 50% larger than a McDonald's quarter-pounder (which shouldn't be the standard for comparison with anything). A restaurant or pub burger that aspires to greatness would normally be at least 8 ounces.
I won't comment on the "milkshake" other than to expect that my doctor will phone later to scold me just for looking at it.
When are you coming to Cyprus?
I'll try and get later this year. Love Cyprus. Went to Larnaca years ago with my parents. 👍🏼
@The MacMaster we live in Aya Napa having retired here 9 months ago would be good to show you around and eat some Souvlaki.
Hi Lee I watch you a lot homeworking.
Great vid I like to see you do a humble burger vid in new york not necessarily the blackpool pound burger. But the understated restaurant giving the best burger. Somthing to think about it.
I enjoyed that video 😁
Thanks David.
25 quid for a shake? They saw you coming Lee! ;)
❤❤❤❤ Hi Lee loving your vlogs makes me happy. I do believe you were at this place before I remember. So let’s see if anything has changed?😊😊😊
It's been a couple of days since I've been here, but I must say that music certainly has improved and it tends to show the city in a much more different light-- more of a sophisticated and laid back light.😀😀
Interesting point about the NYC scaffolding, it's due to an old bylaw forcing buildings that have failed an inspection, to put up scaffolding to catch falling masonry, until the building is repaired, but the law didn't give any time limit to the repairs so building owners found it cheaper to leave the scaffolding up permanently than to repair the building.

That burger looked divine: juicy, succulent, tender. Rare to have shakes taste anything other than a big sugar hit (hopefully the cream wasn't out of an aerosol can!) Great to be introduced to the experience without paying hundreds of dollars for a burger! Nice work Lee! 👍😁
Lee old boy you have made hungry now. I’ve loved watching me and the wife thinking of going someday. 👍
Salt Bae acted like such a doughnut at the World Cup finals that I wouldn't give him a penny.
That grub looks delish Mac, hope you enjoy mate, take care 👍
$25 for a milkshake?
He must write a 'W' on each bumcheek as he had your pants down. Wow!
Tbf the burger does look banging.
8 out of 10
25 dollars for a milkshake 😳 would that be about £20!?
We need people like you in our society macmaster fair man
The cobbled street was surprising! That food looked amazing especially the milkshake! Calorific I would imagine!🤣
They are made from ballast stones from the early 1800s!
When u said "i really didn't want to like this, but the bloke is a , you know , a bit of a Nob"
You took the words right out of my mouth, Comic Gold. I nearly p|ssed my pants😂😂
When are you back in Tenerife Lee ...would b nice to catch you out there👍
It's good that it's so busy. The account must be very happy with that.
Is it just me or does anyone else hate the sound of skateboarders, and why can they never land a bloody stunt.. Great video as usual MacMaster, loving your Newyork series so far, keep it up
Food looked nice but for that price you would expect it. Burger very small lot's of fries to fill you up. Loved the tour again Lee 👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t think I could justify my score as I would have to benchmark it against one from a local pub which would score more based on the look of that burger and for half the price. Great videos Lee of New York which has reinforced my views of not visiting this over priced place.
Looks good but still wouldn’t spend that!!!! Thank you for your NYC videos and for the sightseeing- takes me back to when we were there in November
That burger looked fantastic! But I remember the cheese burger at the palace cafe in London! That was hilarious!
The milk shake looked a meal on its own fab!
omg lovin all the sights lee
10/10 for me crazy looking GOOOOOD. I just had a Waygu burger yesterday for Valentine’s day. 😮OH by the way Lee Happy belated Valentine’s Day. ❤
Looked absolutely delicious - WOW !
hahaaaa could see the fuming face he wanted to slate the place ..but as ive said truly honest review..could easily of said nah its ok not all that..but no TRUE FOODIE says it as it is ..GOOD MAN
That milkshake looked like something Del Trotter would order
Creme de menthe mange tout
Speaking as a fellow Mansfield lad, Lee (Warsop Vale) I do not enjoy ALL of your content, but about 80% of it? Yes. For sure.
Carry on that man!
Hey!!!! I filmed there the other week. 🕶️
@@TheMacMaster where? Are you referring to the Indian? I used to live round the corner from there, on Broxtowe drive.
for 60 bucks i want jazz music, a better decor, a three course meal and fine wine. And i can get it.
But praise to you as I enjoy your videos more each You have got the balance absolutely right 👍
Salt bae is just a flash in the pan. Really damaged his image when he molested the World Cup trophy and hounded the players in their moment of triumph. Great video btw.
Love your reviews lee even tho you dont like the guy you still rate the food as honest as can be, keep it up!
Really enjoying your NYC reviews Lee. I was wondering if you were planning on reviewing any food trucks if there are any. Sometimes we can find a hidden gem around a corner and wondered if there were any in NYC. Keep up the great work and enjoy the rest of your trip.
Any food trucks in NYC,Lee must have passed 20 walking to that place ,The other day he was in mid town and the “Famous “Halal guys” food trucks are there! NYC is a food Mecca and destination sorry to say not the places Lees been going to this trip!
@@johnrimmer4841 that is exactly why I made the comment. I have heard some of the food trucks are hidden gems and very affordable. It would be great to see Lee review something that most of us could afford whilst supporting small independent businesses just as he does here in the UK.
I reviewed The Halal Guys on the last trip. 😉👍🏼👍🏼 Have a look. Also hot dog and $1 pizza.

For a $25 dollar shake I’d expect the word wow !!!
Not completely unfair prices for what it is.
You are paying at least $10 for the name alone. Even if the shine is long gone from salt bae.
I am glad you admitted how much you liked the burger in spite of your feelings for the owner, which is pretty understandable.
Food looked good, and considering what the main restaurant would charge for the same burger its a good way to say you tried it.
I need one of those shakes!!!
I looked up the USDA rules for Wagyu beef labeling. American Wagyu beef, bought in a store, only has to be 50% Wagyu. It doesn't appear that a restaurant even has to specify "American" Wagyu, so it's very unlikely that for $22 it would ever be 100% American Wagyu, and almost inconceivable that there is any Japanese Wagyu in there.
Looks great but really expensive, great channel Lee.
25 for a shake wft
I have been to his restaurant in the Grand bazaar in Istanbul, and the burger was next level. A solid 10 from me, superb food.
$25 for a shake 😱 wouldn’t get away with that in Morley! Another great vid though Lee enjoying your travels in the states!
if i was on holiday this is something i would try as a treat, people moaning about the price seems weird to me, its not like it would be a daily thing
Looked amazing, love wagyu meat its so tender and very filling, what were the spices on the chips/fries, as its the first time i have seen you leave them, they looked good,but i'm not into spices, the price let you experience a high end burger and the restaurant looked great !
The milkshake would have been to sweet for me, but looked amazing, loved the presentation of it 😊❤
Not long got in from work and the first thing i said to my other half was has Mac master put anything up. I eat my dinner watching your videos, it's a nightly routine after a long day 😅. Another great video. Not sure on the price but it is new York. I was wondering if you have stumbled across any Kebab shops over there? I do love a shish and cheesy chips
I live in the States and have never heard of this place. I am not wealthy enough to pay so much for a burger and fries, but it looked really good. Yeah, it warranted a 10 for sure.
That burger was still breathing, it was so raw, very expensive, I would give it a 2 for value for money and looks.
Burger looked good. Seasoning on chips. Milkshake looked epic
Was expensive but the burger did look very good. The milkshake looked impressive as well 👍
Seemed very expensive for the amount you got with burger and fries but the quality of the meat looked top notch as soon as I saw it. Especially with the juices running out of it. And it is Wagyu as well so you’ll always pay quite a bit more for that quality. I’ll go a 9/10 for that. Milkshakes a bit more difficult to score but you’ll always find with Turkish desserts etc like baclava they can cause a major sugar rush if you eat too much🤣.
Great vlog mate and looking forward to watching more tomorrow👍👍
Hi Lee wow I've never heard of salt bae but the burger looked tasty and the milk shake wow Shane in Sydney
That looked amazing hope you managed to take home the fries 🍟
I take all of your JOKES with a pinch of salt !!!!!! 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔 great content 👓👓👓👍👍👍👍
As a point of reference for what people typically eat, or can eat, over here in the NYC area, I just finished my dinner tonight in New Jersey, which is where I am most of this week. No pictures, because I don't have the equipment, other than a cellphone camera, and because I'm not (and couldn't) competing with Lee.
Here's what I had, from a place called "Steve's Burgers 2" that I hadn't tried before (I don't think there is a "Steve's Burgers 1".):
A "Willie Burger", which was about 6 ounces and medium-well done. it came with Swiss cheese and mushrooms. This name means nothing in particular in America, but I can hear half of Yorkshire laughing all the way over here. It was excellent.
Also I had a hot dog, which came with chili sauce, onions, and mustard. This can be hard to find in NYC proper; it just isn't a specialty there. It was also excellent.
Lastly, I had an order of "Italian Fries", which came with sauteed onions and peppers. This is a little unusual, but I wasn't surprised to find it in New Jersey. I had my own ketchup packets, and enjoyed this a lot.
The whole shebang cost about $25 including tax, delivery charge, and tip, and was delivered about 35 minutes after I ordered it on GrubHub.
"Your mileage may vary", but this is fairly typical of what hamburger-and-hotdog people eat. No, I wouldn't (and don't) have this every night.
A FAR more sensible choice, and I bet the owners aren't pretentious prats like this 'Saltbae' is!
Thanks for taking the time to write this. Like any big city (if you consider New Jersey an extention of NYC)... you've just got to know where to go. Have a good'en. 👍
The burger and fries looked really good.
I wonder if the seasoning on the fries was anything like chip spice that we get in Hull?
I thought it looked decent and didn’t think the price was too bad at all.
Obviously the shake put it up but it’s not like you’d have one of them all the time - just good to try something different. 👍
Didn't realise there was a salt bae burger place in NY, and that burger did look good. But when in NY, give me Shake Shack any day, those burgers, crinkly fries and shakes are superb! Onwards.
Looks terrific and milkshake has some Greek baklava with honey and pistachio nut on top...impressive and I'd pay that money no problem at all.
…and there is me thinking Five Guys were cheeky with their prices
Yeah, me too!
Mind you, the new grand Big Mac with bacon meal is £8.19 😳
@@kevowski this is true…mmmm….now I’m tempted to get a Grand Big Mac🤤🤤
a soda usd 6...lol. for the burger and shake I would get one just to try it out. the shake looked amazing, a def try for sure.
Not cheap for a burger and shake but I have to say it looked fantastic and a definite 10 from me great vlog.
Looked very nice,fries looked gorgeous, for a treat great but still very expensive.
Great video as always, but them prices!!! is that just New York or are all US prices sooo expensive? And the burger didn't look cooked to me.
I would say add $5 for being in NYC. And another $10 for the Salt Bae name.
Big wow mate 10 plus
Using Wagyu beef for a burger seems a bit of an oxymoron. It's like using Iberico ham in a Full English or Beluga caviar in a fishcake.
How about thick-sliced prosciutto? Now there's a bit of cognitive dissonance.
Come on guys let's get Lee to 100k subs if you're not subscribed! He's so close... all the guy deserves 👏
Looks like the nicest thing you have had since getting there lee
Looks a lovely place, but where are all the customers ?
Looked amazing for a burger Lee ! Nice ! Little john from chichester
Hi Lee, are you planning a 100k subscriber special?? You aint far off that figure mate.
Looked really nice Lee you know your going to empty your pockets when you go to his restaurants so it is what it is I wouldn't pay but you cant knock it though great content again.
Great video, next time you head to NYC, check out the Top Jaw guys for their reviews and ideas. They go to some amazing places!! ❤
Thanx for showing us what it was all about Lee. I'd love to know what the average living wage is out there. Must be pretty decent to be able to pay the prices you are making us aware of on your trip. Very expensive place.. Nice vlog.
People making an average wage, and a lot more, don't eat in places like that.
$51 for a burger and shake ,looked nice ,but would not pay that ,looks to be getting very expensive America 🍔🗽🇺🇸
Not representative of America or even New York. Typical prices are a quarter to a third of what is asked at these kinds of places. Nobody living off a paycheck is going to Salt Bae or any place like it. Lee's vlogs provide a way for normal people to see what this is like.
My god more wows on there than a Gordon Ramsey program.
Mister Macmaster the title says it all.😀 burger was ok ish..the milkshake looked tasty but bloody hell 😳 the price...surely people can't be so loose with the money..or can they..??? Lee, what would your dear dad had say 🤔 mine would have said 'you can shove it where the sun doesn't shine lad' 😉 😜 another big shout to small family run business in the good old UK 💯👌
I’d love to see a chocolate version of that shake. Burger was a little undercooked for me but it obviously tasted great.
I don’t know if it was empty in there because of the time you went or empty because of the crazy prices.
Was it better than the BJ's Brisket Burger in Orlando (I took your recommendation last year and thoroughly enjoyed that burger)?
Blimey. That's a while back. Funnily enough I'm in Orlando again now. 👍🏼
Hi Lee, I am loving these NY videos, highlight of my day. Just binged watched your last three in a row!! Burger did look good….but oh so expensive 😮
Thank you. 😎
Hi Lea
Have you ever tried triple fried chips..?
Try them & let us know what you think.
while in New York, you should try Paul's burgers on Second Ave and St Marks Place. Excellent burgers and steak sandwiches plus its a small business and not too expensive. I walk by SaltBae burgers on Park Ave South almost everyday and it's not particularly crowded either. $120 dollars for a gold burger - outrageous! $22 for a burger -much too expensive. I would give a 9.5 on looks alone. I don't think I would ever go there seeing that it is out of my budget.
Looks tasty af. But basically £25 bucket for a burger and fries (Inc tip and tax). USA prices have gone mad
Macmaster try Bareburger in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Also try John's of Bleeker Street for Pizza. A couple recommendations for you.
I reviewed John's of Bleeker. Take a look back. 👍🏼
Macmaster I checked and cannot find a review of John's of Bleecker Street. I did see your review of Bleecker Street Pizza. That is around the corner from John's of Bleecker Street. It's not the same place John's of Bleecker Street has a coal-fired oven.
Don't know why I found you calling him a bit of a knob so funny!🤣
I am 59 and have only had 2 burgers in my life ! (both from different branches of McDonalds) and they were both disgusting ! That burger looks good though. That SaltBae fella seems to be a right bellend !
More and more with every video I watch
