Remember Salt Bae? The Turkish chef and restaurant owner who became inexplicably famous for sprinkling salt down his arm onto things?
Well now he’s got a rival. And he’s in Oldham. Takeaway spot The Bank Grill on Rochdale Road in Royton launched its social media pages while the country was still in lockdown, to showcase its food and get some interest going online.
Starting on Instagram, they moved over to TikTok last year, but since then, the takeaway’s chef has gone viral, mimicking Salt Bae’s salt sprinkling style in a series of TikTok videos. Dubbing himself ‘Salt Bahi’, he has appeared in a host of videos, sporting a pair of dark, round sunglasses and a turned-back baseball cap.
