A little too salty for our tastes ...
What a great weekend to be a soccer fan. Even if you're not, it was a fascinating finish. As the match between France and Argentina in Qatar went into a shootout on Sunday, it was hard not to be engrossed even if you'd never watched the sport before.
But in a stroke of monumental disappointment, it appears that someone let Salt Bae on the field during the celebration to the clear confusion of even the footballers themselves. You might remember the chef who, in extremely dramatic fashion, tosses salt on diners' steaks at his Nusr-Et restaurants, which we. Salt Bae, who is from Turkey, fills in a sliver on a Venn diagram that's part internet meme and, we suppose, part restaurateur. His luxury steak houses dot the globe: Dubai, Qatar, Saudia Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with a handful in the U.S., including one in Dallas.
After evidently getting a field pass following the game Sunday, Salt Bae had no reservations in doing whatever he wanted. He was so bold as to repeatedly grab Lionel Messi after the match for a photo; Messi, understandably, was not interested.
