🤯🤤 those look amazing! 🤞 next paycheck if nothing crazy happens 😸🥳
Guga. Please.🙏🏻 Try dry age steak on meat extract. It's a product we have in Uruguay 🇺🇾. Used to season soups and meals.
Guga, if you ever plan on coming to NYC hit me up, so we can hit Old Homestead. My favorite steakhouse in NYC! I personally like it better than Peter Luger's
@@It-b-Blair qqqqqq
your's is always going to be better, Once i learned how to prep, season, cook, sear i have not paid for someone else's cooking when it comes to steak. Also, Dalstrong Shadow series, i have several of their shadow series knives. Had since release, use at least twice a week and still havent had to sharpen any of them.
$1750 is enough for 20 courses at Michelin star restaurants with full wine pack. Paying that for ONE steak is absolutely brain damaged
Who even whant to pay a damn $1750 for just 1 steak 💀
@@lionelvalentino5760 people with the job title "influencer" mainly I'd say.
Yup
It’s enough to eat and stay and Ritz Carlton for at least 5 days
@@MichaelSmithAU well true
I've said it before and I'll say it again: putting gold on food has got to be one of the dumbest food trends ever conceived.
Agreed, and people fall for it 😭😭 people wanna feel 'spensive
Whatever, I poop gold now! 🤣
There is no nutritional value and all you're doing is eating what is basically the equivalent of wrapping your food in edible paper,definitely a worthless trend.
It's a poor man's idea of a rich man's food
and I thought ppl where raised with: don't eat metals. as a basic lesson while growing up
This guy's great. You can hate on the restaurant but you gotta be kind to the servers since most of these issues are out of their control. Respect.
They probably recognized him as a famous CZcamsr which was why he got better service. I mean they were all watching him for his reaction. Would we plebians get similar service? Would they care what we think of the food after we were served?
@@TheWotageekI saw a channel complain about a service and they had 20k subs. You’re probably right
Imagine how much tips they'd expect :) of course they are nice
Imagine getting a bad review on youtube by a famous youtuber and you were the waiter that served him and he complained of your bad service. Dont have to tell you what gonna happen to you isn't it. Yes the blame will be all on you no matter the food is bad or good. So Guga did him good by acknowledging his excellent service. The only problem is the establishment charging a limb for a grilled steak
@@TheWotageekGreat Point!!!
Goes to show what a smoke and mirror operation Salt Bae is, $5 for edible gold leaf and $20 for a steak, and the $1,750 price is just highway robbery.
It's immoral to allow a sucker to keep their money.
@@69nites Comments like these are exactly the same as those ones glorifying social Darwinism. It sounds good at first but the guy saying it is often the one that would be on the bottom rung in reality. Both of them come from gross insecurity and a strange eagerness to look down your nose at someone.
The thing about that, is that there is no scam or lies involved. People willingly throw money away for the "experience". If you can get rich off stupid people without any lies, good for you.
The gold leaf that Guga used is lower Carat, meaning it has higher contamination with heavy metals that can be toxic to your body. You need to use 24-carat gold leaf for edible gold like at Salt Bae.. you can't cheap out like Guga did if you don't want a lawsuit
@@ZM-dm3jg How about, don't eat gold at all because it's stupid.
You have to give Salt Bae some credit. He’s able to take what you’d get at a middle of the road steakhouse and sell it at 100x the cost to a sucker who has no idea what good steak really is.
Respect the hustle , just don’t get hustled .
yeah..as someone who makes not even 400 dollars every two weeks, I can respect him selling a regular steak for the price of a car on Facebook marketplace.
Every day one smart and one sucker goes out and when they meet each other, they make a deal.
😂😂😂 true, but it's not a complimentary credit
He's just giving the illusion of luxury to the "low class money". Rappers and Basketball players can't get into legitimate establishments because they're uncivilized. He's the $3,000 Nikes of the food world.
As a lifelong bartender, I’m so happy you made it a point to state how good the servers/service was. Owners/Management is always looking to blame their staff when something goes wrong-I can’t help but think that’s why you made it a point to nip that in the bud.
pretty sure so one would blame a server for the steak being rare instead of medium rare
@@MrRafagigapr they would. They'd blame the server by saying that they didnt write down the order correctly.
To be fair I think he was honest. Whenever I see reviews of Nazret the main thing that stands out is they always mention how good the servers/staff are. Still not sure a £2000 bill can make up for good conversation doe
@@MrRafagigapr two things could've happened there... either a mistake from the server at the moment to place the order, or a mistake from the chef at the moment of cooking the stake...
@@NoMoreNamesAvailabl1 you're paying more for the brand and the service than for the food...
$2000 is at least 6 months worth of food for me, the fact that someone can charge that much for some gold leaf and a mediocre steak without a twinge of guilt is wild
Why would there be any guilt? Anyone paying that can pay that, and they clearlydon't deserve the money.
right? the price of just that ribcap is twice of what i earn in a month. 2 whole months of my life add up to nothing more than a small steak with some edible gold on top. the fact that there are people willing to pay that much money for so little food...rich people are insane
Well there’s a reason why you aren’t there lol. Only people who can afford it are going to his restaurants. I don’t think people are saving up money to go to his restaurant
idk why he'd feel guilt since he's not making anyone buy it, but what i find most crazy is that there are ppl who're willing to pay for this without hesitation and call it the best steak they've ever had
I could eat nice for 1 entire year with $2000
One reason I really love watching Guga is how he uses the scientific method to determine if something is good. He finds a question, researches the best way to serve it, makes a hypothosis "I can't wait to try it." "I'm curious how it is gonna tast" "I'm not so sure about this one everybody" Does the experiment, tries the food himself as well as his buddies, reaches a conclusion and communicates his thoughts on it. Sometimes he will even return to an experiment when there's more questions to be asked, different things to try or he felt he didn't give it a fair shake.
Another reason is how cheerful and friendly everyone is. They rub elbows for laughs, and thank one another and just chill out in a calm and chill vibe. Oh, and also the memes get me to laugh.
I went to Salt Bae NYC when it first opened. Had to return the first steak because it lacked any seasoning or flavor. They brought us the Tomahawk instead and it was ok. Total price = $690 for 2. We went to a place called Hillstone and had $50 steak the following week. Total price = $160. Way better.
It seems like every video I've seen from that place the steak comes out like blue cold rare. And then he puts a sprinkle of flakey salt on it. Like wow so worth it. It's the type of place that will only last so long and when they run out of the new customer market they will close down. Because no one in their right mind could possibly want to go back after paying 3000 dollars for average or below average food.
Salt bae is just a circus tourist trap, hillstone is good and consistent but literally hundreds of places to get a better steak without all the bs at salt bae
I had a $90 Steak at Gordon, and it was flavourless. The beef Wellington on the otherhand was one of the best things that I've ever tasted.
@@macaulayculkin5022 How can someone make a flavorless steak?I once made unseasoned meat and it was tasty.
I think salt bae is famous because the guy puts the salt on it in style
The food isn’t good at all
I have tried it myself and it’s not worth the price at all
Like every professional CZcamsr chef says that salt bae isn’t worth the price
Just a friendly reminder to dry age a ribeye 30-35 days in miso paste! I’m not gonna let this go til it happens 🥩
It’s so good.
I cant remember if he did this over night or if he actually dry aged it 30 days.
@@terra2676 he did not. He only did a marinade for a few hours.
you've written this for so long you could've done the experiment yourself, haha! Gotta love the dedication tho :D
MAKE IT HAPPEN !
Oh man... I love your videos but when they shook your hand and left, that was priceless. Thank you Guga!
Imagine selling a non Wagyu steak that you've put ~$10 worth of edible gold on for $1750. I think I would have laughed hysterically as I walked my own ass straight out of the restaurant.
It's like getting bottle service at the club.
It's a dumb flex.
$400 for mid tier booze.
Yeah people REALLY need to figure out how cheap gold leaf is.
@@johnr797 the type of person that would consider that steak as a viable option doesn't have the mental bandwidth to Google gold leaf
@@info_fox true
If you have enough moneys then paying the 2k for the steak and just sitting down to eat might be worth not having to get up and leave to find something else lol
The fact that it came rare and not medium rare at a "top quality" steakhouse says a lot about the restaurant... especially at that price point
That’s facts! Great steakhouses don’t make mistakes with the meat
@@dubcOG610 yup especially one that has a steak over a grand!
@John QPublic1 I was about to comment and say that must not touch it. Gotta use them hands in the kitchen
This is true. As a customer of a top quality steak house, you should get what you asked for. If it's a medium rare, the restaurant should cook him/her medium rare not rare steak.
I’m no chef by any means but cook enough at home to know when my steak is medium vs medium rare etc
Its amazing to see someone being this happy about food. Thank you for the recipe and motivating me to learn more on being a food enthusiasts
Love how generous you are towards the server ❤
I'd rather eat at your house with your company for that price. Watching you and your family cook and eat steak makes my happy AF.
Facts
Agree
So true Guga is awesome and wholesome with his friends and family... Just love it. Not gonna comment on the Salt guy...
@@MarkoK02 I have been to his restaurant in London, and all I can say is that it is a complete fxxxing scam, luckily he wasn't in london at the time so i couldn't get the 2000 doller one but the normal tomahawk was already 700 pounds which is serverly overprised
Makes my happy AF... Try that again but with English.
I'm not surprised that the restaurant is empty.
😂😂😂
If 2 ppl get a water there, the place is profitable
What? In all the videos I've seen the place is always packed. And the biggest complaint from negative reviews I've read is they always say the place is "overcrowded".
Because plenty of brokies
@@Johhny_B strange, in all the videos I've seen, It's always empty
I absolutely love that you actually have a sponsorship for a company I respect and love! 🎉
I would love to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing! 🙏
Was it the best steak I've ever had? *smirk*
Damm right! Thanks for paying the bill nick. 😉
U guys make me want steak order the next restaurant I’m going too
@@GugaFoods So what are the best restaurant steaks you have ever had? Say at different price points? That could be an interesting show.
Niccck
Yeah what are YOUR favourite restaraunts to order steak from.. Your opinion. Is valued sir guga of Foods.
Imagine paying $1,700 for a steak and it’s not even cooked how you want it, or better yet imagine charging someone $1,700 for a steak and not even cooking it the way they wanted.
They get away with it because they know dumbass rich people will buy it.
I worked for minimum wage in a small steak restaurant where you would pay 10-25€ for a meal and the first thing i learned was how to cook the meat right since thats pretty much the only thing you could mess up while making a steak.
We went for new year's to a very fancy steakhouse here in texas. It was a 4 course menu for 85 per person. I ordered my meat medium rare, and when i cut into it, it was medium. The waiter IMMEDIATELY noticed, apologized and comped my plate (i did not even ask)
@@lauriechan1426Lucky you I cant even try steak at a restaurant.... because I am a muslim , I mean beef is halal (permissible to eat) but its also has to be slaughtered in halal/permissible way. Similar to Kosher for jews. Maybe there is a halal steakhouse , I hear salt bae's Nusret restaurant is halal but too expensive.
@manz007 if they can't cook it properly I wouldn't trust that they had prepared or butchered it properly..
Guga, the way you present, record, how authentic and fun you are…that’s what makes you special. You love what you do and it shows.
When you brought out the appetizer, I thought "That's a fancy deviled egg, isn't it?" And my mom and I have always just popped the yolks out since it's easy
I love your videos. I take and use something out of each one and it helps me add new items to my cooking list.
I was ones at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. Had a steak there. It was barely a pass. Later that day went to different restaurant, where my friend often takes me cos of good steaks. Redeemed my day. Just because a restaurant has a famous name slapped on it, doesn't mean that the food will be to that standard.
Agreed
But I don't think it's the name's fault. People who work there are not always up to the standard of the shef who opened it.
Like in Ratatouille or any other famous restaurant, it can happen anywhere
Some of the best food comes from "hole in the wall" or even food truck establishments!!
I went to gordon ramsay steak, pub and grill, and fish and chips in Las Vegas. I'd really only recommend the fish and chips among these selections. Though a popular chef and friendly service, you can tell his name is what carries the restaurants not the food. If you're really interested in a magical fine-dining experience that isn't just gimmicks, I'd recommend recently achieved michelin starred tasting menus. Always do your research though!
I've only had bad experiences with Gordon Ramsay restaurants. Perhaps his flagship is actually good, but the ones with his name slapped on just seem mediocre at best.
I don't know how you can mess up mac & cheese, but they did... it just tasted of milk.
@@plukerpluck, it might be a stolen name, a bad control over his business or a scam. Idk which one, but I'm sorry for you.
I don't go to Restoraunts at all so
I once paid $100 for a steak in a really nice steak house. It was dry aged for 45 days I think, porterhouse, it was huge. I figured, I'm not going to be doing this often, let me do it this one time. Totally worth it and still one of the best things I've ever eaten.
$2000 for a steak? That's a joke.
It really, really is. I understand how the alcohol at that restaurant gets marked up to unbelievable prices, because it's really a pretty standard markup. But at $1750 a steak? Normal markup on a steak is like 250-300%. Best guesstimate is the steak itself probably costs the restaurant about $40 assuming it's dry aged and prime, plus what did Guga say? $5 for the gold leaf? So you're paying a 3800% markup. It would still sound like a lot at just $200, but you could rationalize paying it. I could buy a whole, dry aged prime rib at a butcher's and still have probably $1400+ left
NYC steakhouse?
Big joke... nope, not doing it. Even if I had a billion dollars in my account.
@@MMAoracle Montreal actually.
Best steak iv ever had was £20ish it was a ribeye. Not huge but it was the most tender and flavorful ribeye iv had. Iv had considerably more expensive steak that wasn't nearly as good point of the matter is price doesn't always reflect the quality of what Ur getting particularly after a curtain point when alot of what your actually paying for is sitting in the actual restaurant it's self
Proud to press that subscribe button!!! Time to watch all the videos 🔥🔥🔥
absolutely stealing that recipe or deviled eggs filling, great video man, that stuff looked amazing
We had a 3 hr lunch in a French village restaurant yesterday. The chef worked in a 2* michelin restaurant and a 5* world famous hotel before going out on his own. 3 courses plus palate cleansers, cheese course 5 glasses of wine and coffee, all beautifully cooked and presented €150 for 3. Amazing food and incredible value. La Forge in Fontaine Daniel chef William Blondel👍
Yep, that shows it perfectly. I watched a restaurant check of a German CZcamsr from Cologne and he checked out a 1* Michelin restaurant and a 3* Michelin restaurant and the 1* dinner was half the price and a lot better. I think SOME people really go crazy when they reach a certain point of fame. And Salt Bae is not even a Michelin * chief... he is just a good cook and butcher I think, that gained Internet fame. I mean the food is good, yes... but 10% of the price is already too much.
Googled it.
Quite a drive from Switzerland but I might give your recommendation a visit once.
Thank you for posting!
I went to a place like that in Kyoto. Michelin-star Japanese-French fusion restaurant and it was only $40 for 3 courses. That place was truly a steal. Was called A Peu Pres, but now I see it's permanently closed due to covid.
there is monastry near this village where there is a castle the nuns make perfect delicious homemade jams and they also sell honey ! 10/10
Like most things, above a certain price all you are doing is making someone a big profit. The wholesale cost of most food ingredients is very reasonable. Most restaurants shoot for a food cost of 35% of the menu price. So did this gold covered steak really cost the restaurant almost $600?
Nick: " Hey Guga want to come and eat overpriced steak at Salt Bae
Guga: "But nick I've got a freezer of wagyu at home"
Nick: "I'm paying"
Guga: "that's enough talking, and let's do it"

Great video. I had a lot of fun watching it. Thank you.
SNAPPED on this video! That egg dish looks divine 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I respect that you took the time to compliment the waiter's service. Would have been easy to just discount the whole experience because of the price, I'm sure the servers roll their eyes at the prices too.
Why would they? They must be getting paid handsomely
@@tardwrangler1019 Actually there was an article recently that pointed out how bad he paid his staff while charging such outrageous prices.
They are def getting like a minimum $60 tips per table
@@americas_soldier1490 People who pay that much for food don't tip.
@@facenameple4604 yeah, you'd normally get a 10-20% service charge at those kind of restaurants too making tipping even less common. BUT who knows if the servers even get that 'service charge' considering John A.'s comment...
I have never understood the whole “edible gold leaf” trend - There was gold leaf on my dessert at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London, and I found it added nothing and actually seemed tacky (on a couple of levels). No steak is worth $2k.
In India we put it on sweets during festivals like diwali. So for us it has some cultural significance. Does it add anything? Nope.
The worst fact is that the gold leaf doesn't bring NOTHING to the steak, doesn't improve the tenderness or the cooking process or favour. If it doesn't improve my taste experience, that gold stuff can go to hell.
@@Girish4944 we never add gold. We add silver because the human body can digest silver but not gold. So it's not just for show.
It is for people with too much money to spend and are easily bored. There are a lot of these kind of people in the world.
Its a dumb status symbol. "I eat gold , and soem peole struggle with renting flat, I'm rich"/. It's pointless, classless, tacky and evil.
EXCUSE ME, THAT FOOD VIDEOGRAPHY IS FREAKING GORGEOUS 🤩🤩
I definitely enjoy your Channel. Very fun to watch.
In other words, in "Salt Bae's" restaurant, he takes $20 worth of steak, gold, and seasoning, cooks it and then charges an extra $1,980 for the name.
Exactly.
Imagine living a world where you are excited and your 'viewers' love the content lmfao
And imagine that he is able to do that because a bunch of people on the internet thought that slapping a piece of meat and running salt down your arm is funny as all hell.
@@kaptenbear1395 - Funny, not so much. Disgusting, quite a lot.
AND CANT EVEN GET THE TEMP RIGHT?!?
I have several of my family members and cousins who went to culinary school, and they collectively say that if your food or drinks have edible gold leaves in it, best believe that restaurant is a ripoff. I’ve heard several top chefs said the same thing too. 😂
i'm ok with the in chocolate, desserts or even drinks but on actual food nope
Make something look flashy but add no real value to it, but charge 10x the price? The only people willing to pay for that are dolts or people that have money to burn and want the experience.
It shows that the business owner doesn't respect their customer's intelligence, is what it shows.
Gold leaf doesn't add flavor, texture, or anything of value to enhance the experience of eating food, so that's why your family members are telling you that. It's also incredibly tacky and wasteful. No one should give their patronage to a restaurant with gold leaf on the menu.
I hate this gold leaf garbage. After 20 years of the culinary life, it’s a lame and stupid trend that needs to die.
No real Michelin stared chef stoops to this lame garbage.
Well, I mean some high-class restaurants use it actively as simply a nice eye candy. Completely fine.
If the entire point of the restaurant is "GOLD COVERED FOOD"... you're in for trouble.
I'd gladly pay any price Guga asks to eat with him, but I'd never pay to eat at Salt Bae's restaurant.
I found this channel 5 mins ago and agree already
i love how guga treats his people right😻😻
Let's go Guga!! I was watching this video thinking those deviled eggs look very similar to the ones I just did 😂 I would of course love to Collab and cook something together!!
Sonny and Guga! Mega Powers Unite! Make it happen!
🤩
Yesss
Love your vids bud
Let’s do it brother. Please DM me on Instagram so we can schedule!
Guga! You must try this dry-age method: use bread dough! Wrap the meat completly with it and, after that, put in the oven just for 10 minute, like baking bread, just for let it become harder. Optionally you can also put a lot of salt on it before baking, the salt is meant to better avoide moisture into it. Finally put in the fridge for 35 days.
Guga needs to see this
yess
Push
Push this up
Sounds like meatloaf to me, though it was nice idea
I love steak but it’s the eggs I can’t wait to make! Thanks Guga for teaching even us beginners.
How the heck have I not subscribed to you yet? You're the Saint of Steaks!
Normally I can understand the price for a super expensive restaurant even in the hundreds, but Salt Bae's prices are unacceptable
if he had 3 michelin stars, it'd be slightly more reasonable, i mean still overpriced, but he doesn't.
It's food meant to be posted on rich kids' instagram accounts. I think that's the whole point. You don't go there to eat a good steak, you go there to show everyone you can spend $1200 on a gold steak.
@@oscarpeters5309 I’ve been to the one in Dubai 3 times, not by choice, but it’s pretty awful. It’d never get a Michelin star but it’s Instagram popular so as long as there are fools with money they will always demand such prices.
@@Panzergraf that's the most dumbest reason to go out and eat a steak I've ever heard.
The problem isn’t the price. For gods sakes* people, it is the worth. Put it like this, you’re not gonna pay 2x the amount for a dish that you can get from another establishment or even making it yourself, and it’ll be less than half the price and most important of all, taste 10x better than anything in the guy’s restaurant. People do not go to these types of establishments for the food, they go for the “experience”. It’s just a hype thing for the rich kids that need the boost in confidence.
Of course the servers are gonna be nice and friendly, imagine getting tipped 15-25% when every table has a $1,000+ bill.
I'm sure on good nights they can easily pull 1K in tips which is ridiculous.
@@edwindigital4598 tipping culture in America is retarded honesty.
@@edwindigital4598 There must be some tip sharing with kitchen staff in this case or else the discrepancy would cause so much fighting
And also we cant say they will be nice for everyone, because 1, this guy came with a very well-known chef/tiktoker and 2, theres camera infront of them
@No Name no
I love how you tell people the best knives are ones you can afford instead of pushing super expensive stuff.
Guga.., you can talk da talk, but definitely 💯 walk da walk 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🥩🥩🥩❤️❤️❤️
Guga, your gold-wrapped steak looks so much more delicious than the one in the restaurant. I know Salt Bae's is all about the sheer extravagance of the experience but this is highway robbery.
i agree, i would feel sick the entire time lol. $250 for a really nice place for my wife and I maybe like once a year. this is just absurd
@@jumpieva People are just stupid I guess and if you're super rich then well have fun I guess but for people who aren't rich, it's stupid

"Was the service good? No, *it was actually amazing* "
Guga is the epitome of never let them know your next move
Considering the bill was in the $2000 range, the server could expect an 18% tip of $360...it damn well better be amazing!
Yo can I get some fried tofu?
@@ryancampbell2192 When the waiter makes more money than a Radiologist, the service better be outstanding!
@@ryancampbell2192 no tips. They're already operating in pure profit.
Guga knows its not the employee's fault, and that they are even underpaid
I just subscribed to your channel and rang the bell, I’d love to cook with you someday, I’ve been frying prosciutto and using the crumbles for years on some of my Italian recipes, such an awesome addition to many plates, that’s if you can stop eating it as soon as it comes out of the pan. Great video chef.

I always thought those look like dalstrong knives and I'm so happy that it's the set I chose to go with.
This video is exactly the reason why I only cook and eat steak at home, never in restaurants. I know they need to make profit because they have expenses, but many times, the menu prices are outrageous.
they can still pay their expenses if they fairly price their menus
Some places yes... not everywhere. I went to A5 in SFO and it was 250 USD a steak which i thought was crazy but my company paid. But salt bae chargin 1200 for 1 steak is next level. (at least A5 was marble 12 japanese full blood wagyu).
Not to mention that cooking an steak is not that hard. You just need to keep an eye for the temperature and that is it. And if you have sous vide... that stops being a concern altogether.
It doesn't need crazy seasonings or even to make a sauce. But even then, you can make that and it is not that hard.
While the steak rests, you can put some wine or brandy in the pan, some rosemary and garlic. reduce it a bit and then put some butter and that is it.
The amount you pay at the restaurant, you can pay it to get a higher quality cut. And you can personally chose the one that has the most marbling. All in all, the steaks I have cooked have always been a million times better than any steak I have had in any restaurant.
Also, where I'm from, the steaks are almost always seasoned after cooking. Yeah, no thanks. I can comfortably say my steaks are better than steaks at every steakhouse I've eaten.
Yup
I respect Salt Bea for turning a meme into a Restaurant that probably makes 100x returns. But never in my life would I go there to eat.
he was running a restaurant before CZcams even existed

Better that than put gold onto meals :D In my opinion its cringy.
What about second breakfast?
You forgot second breakfast my dude

South Florida seems to lack any truly top-level Michelin-worthy restaurants. It's more about showing off and posturing than it is about serving the world's finest foods. For the best culinary experiences in the United States you really have to go to New York, Chicago, LA, or the Bay Area.
yea thats a load of crap. i live in atlanta and i would put our restraunt scene in terms of value as well as taste and quality up against any of those states you mentioned. hell i can find you absolutely amazing places in myrtle beach sc that would rival places in NYC. saying for the best culinary experience you have to goto this place is laughable and completely idiotic. you really think a seafood restraunt in nyc will outcook a seafood place in new orleans, or a steak house in kansas city cant compete with a steak house in chicago? thats why these places charge 1700 bucks because these places play of people like you and their lack of knowledge when it comes to food. im in nyc and i charge 200 a head that means its good.
Salt Bae $2k steak?!? Jeeezuz that’s just insane! But man how I wish I was one of them dudes sitting next to you all the time! 😂 Y’all eat the most delicious steaks and sides! 😋
I’d rather pay that to Guga to have a palette of his best steaks and side dishes in one sitting. Freaking grill master, we all love you googs

Facts
It is beyond a ripoff. You can get an absolutely amazing prime grade ribeye for well under $100. Pop that bad boy in sous vide and call it a day. This is why I never go to steakhouses. They are a complete ripoff. I went to Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Atlantic City and the steak was terrible. No seasoning. Overcooked.
It's because it's more than likely being made by some guy following a recipe, there's no love in it compared to a small place or being made by Gordon Ramsay himself.
It's amazing how many steakhouses actually have no idea what they're doing. People are dumb as bricks these days though and will pay anything.
Alot of people don't own sous vide cooker so that's not an option. Oh wait, you could buy like 5 sous vide cookers and 5 prime steaks and still save money.
WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUUUUCE?!?
If your in A/C the homestead at the borgata is the way to go.
Good to see Aussie Wagyu get its shine!, Of course nothing will beat Japan's but Australia should always be held highly in the meat market, even at a supermarket u can get a cheap but well marbled steak and I live in the Hunter Valley which is rural, but go to most butchers around, u can get some really good dry aged wagyu that is amazing
Awesome video!
The most expensive steak I ever had was $100 at a really nice restaurant and it was amazing. A steak that costs thousands? You've got to be kidding.
There's a restaurant where I live called "Ruth's Chris" steak house, the Ribeye is roughly $55. Now as far as steak I cooked I've paid 45$ for a dry aged Ribeye, just as good as the "Ruth's Chris" steak. That's the most I've ever paid for steak.
@@justinhayes2194 That's all one should ever have to pay for a good steak.
We went to Maggie Oaks in Montréal, I think their most expensive was maybe $140 Canadian but it was world class Alberta beef. We got a great steak for $50.
Salt Bae is so hyped, is the kind of restaurant that is expensive just because it’s famous, but it isn't different from any other steak restaurant you know, well maybe it's different on the priced and taste.
I would rather buy the cow
Biggest scam of all time. $1200 for a steak I’d be able to grill 10x better. That gold is also like $1 for a few sheets on Amazon lmao edible gold is literally cheaper than a Big Mac at McDonald’s. Literal garbage restaurant and the dude isn’t even a top notch chef. It’s a place for boujee rich people to waste their money and act as if the “experience” is worth even 10% of what they paid
Yeet.
TRUUUUUUUUUUUTH!!!!!!!!!
💯💯💯
Remember a guy on Joe Rogan say the same thing. He then talk about another guy from Turkey that was actually the real deal, but people barely know about him.
Yeet yeet!! 👌🏼
thank you for this great coment
Those eggs are inspired, love it!
Nice video. Teaches a lot of things in a short video.
Even if I could afford to spend that kind of money to eat a golden steak... I would be sick to my stomach thinking about the fact I could buy a very nice grill and many steaks to share with my family and friends and cook better steaks following Guga's instructions here!!
& share with your neighbors if extra lol👍🏼 For real if we're wealthy I wouldn't think about spending that ridiculous amount of money on just a dam dish we on the same page buddi🤜🏼🤛🏽

The best steak ive ever had was thin ribeye tossed into a pickle bucket, filled with zesty italian dressing, closed, marinated for 3-5 days, then grilled quickly over charcoal. The flavor was great, the fact the vinegar in the dressing had already 'cooked' the steak prior to grilling allows you to focus entirely on the char, and it was incredibly tender. Just use a screaming hot grill, and you dont even have to worry about flames/flare-ups, as it will just help crisp up that good ribeye fat. Its the cheapest, laziest way to grill steak, its practically fool-proof, and the results never fail to impress.
Absolutely. Even a choice grade Walmart steak tastes divine when you're around good company.
Man if I had that much money magically show up in my account today i'd buy myself a cheap af laptop from marketplace and a car, been trying to save up for months now.
The eggs remind me of an appetizer we use to have in Richmond Virginia. Fried Bacon Wrapped, Blue Cheese Stuffed Deviled Eggs served with Buffalo sauce. They looked like Josh puppies and they were incredible!
Appreciate this 🙂
Gold shouldn't do anything, they used gold and silver for "silverware" and specifically use gold when they need to be absolutely sure nothing is altering the taste.
Ahh, very interesting and good to know.
can we eat gold?? I don't understand
@@hilurmohammed2023 Yeah, in those thin leaf pieces and dust you can, you just poop it right back out later.
@@hilurmohammed2023 our bodies actually contain VERY VERY VERY small amounts of gold as well. Promotes joint health and some other stuff too.
@@hilurmohammed2023 Gold doesn't react with anything so it just goes in and comes out the same and you gain next to nothing from it. It's just to make it look fancy.
$9 gold wrap for $2000; just wow. And I say that because you know thats what the hustle is. Between my sous vide and Guga's recipes I've cooked the best steaks I've had in my life. Use to go to steak houses all the time but haven't in years and legit my steaks tast Way better
Steak houses cook to the LCD. Something that everyone will like. The perfect steak will always be cooked by a personal chef or the person themselves. My uncle's like burnt offerings, and to them that's the perfect steak. I'm more of a medium rare guy. Others like blue rare.
You sous vide steaks, why?
@@webstarr4542 Sous vide to cook it nice and evenly and searing the steak at the end for that flavor and presentation so it’s not just a boiled steak
@@icywolf8177 for thousands of years steaks have been cooked without being sealed in plastic in hot water and they have been great.
@@webstarr4542 Doesn’t mean that new techniques and inventions are created sous vide is just one them.

Due to ur work on the grill. Subscribed!!!
While you can't argue with his success, you've got to question the sanity of all those people that overpay for the ridiculous theater. Salt Bae is our modern day snake oil salesman.
You're paying for the show and taking pictures for instagram. It's why the food looks good but tastes mediocre
@@rance8838 very much this, you aren't paying for incredibly good food, you are paying for incredibly good-looking food.
@@xandara75 that's the point he is making, who in their sane mind spends 1200$ for 5 minutes of a dude throwing your steak around before he cuts it.
@@xandara75 It doesn't even look that great though.
@@rance8838 it's not even worth an Instagram picture for me. At least I don't make any money on Instagram so it would be kind of pointless to post a picture of some food. For what it is worth to me, I may as well just grill a steak at home and post a picture on Facebook.
I love when he says something is "super easy" then 14 steps, half a dozen ingredients, and a piping bag/food processor/etc later the side dish is done. Easy-peasy! 😆
Something that takes time does not disqualify it from being easy. That side dish does look easy. The hardest thing is the deep fry but to make it easier use an air fryer
@@obviouslyPSM The word "easy" means something different to everyone. ;)
@@RealNicole it was kinda easy..."food processor" is just a mixer grinder u can just do that with hand. and its just basic bread crumb egg bath deep fry..and the piping bag, as he mentioned, he used for the presentation. in reality ucan just use a spoon and place it on the egg.
@@aryanram02 Good to know! Thanks!
@@RealNicole :))
Im beginning to think that guga's food is just naturally better than anything he can compare it to
I like the fact that he is still objective and fair with his critics
One of the greatest videos of all time.
Your carbonara video would like to disagree! I still cook mine like that to this day.
Why because salt bae took a hit?
This guy basically took a short internet fame to another level.
Surprisingly things does work for him, even if you gotta question the ethics behind it.
Honestly? If I had the opportunity to scam WILLING rich people out of their money with an (about) x20 profit return on investment, Id absolutely take it too. Cant even be mad at Salt Bae, just mad at the morons who proudly flex their 400$ steaks that taste worse than some 20$ choice cuts from the grocery store cooked at home with salt and pepper.
no one forced them to buy the $2000 foiled steak, they couldve ordered the same steak there for $280 without the foil. Gold foiled steaks at Nusret steakhouses are just a gimmick for the rich to spend and be flashy to their friends or social media. I feel like people who havent been to this restaurant just judge it based on people making clips of purposely ordering the gold foiled ones. most people just order the regular steaks, and the prices for those are like any other high end steak restaurants..
He is average at best. Still not got a Michelin star? Famous because of an insta pic. Pfst!
The ethics are fine, no one's forcing these simple-minded rich people with no taste to buy a $1200 steak from a living Instagram meme.
@@mrgrumpy70 he wont get a star during this lifetime xD
When you put the egg in the egg wash that was hilarious for some reason
People say that salt baes food is stupid and hes dumb for selling it at that price but i gotta give it to him, he knows how to do business because imagine what this man earns from having people test his "crazy" food after he goes viral all the damn time
I never heard of this salt bae so.....
Anyone with half a brain can do that
Just having people go and have a 1 time taste doesn't make the business owner brilliant, it just show how stupid and greedy they are for doing that, and imagine his reputation after people complained about the stupid overpriced uncooked food that he served to the customer
@@derpfanatix3168 well he can live comfortably because of these "1 time tasters" sure his food is probably dogshit but it sells and i bet he knows it
My one experience at their NYC location made me leave with questionable business practices there. My impression was that they don't hire restaurant servers, they hire salespeople and train them into being a restaurant worker. Everything they do is intentional to milk the customer to spend the most money possible. I've dined at many fine restaurants and top steak places and many little things they do was very apparent to me and rubbed me wrong. I wouldn't support this business.
A business that survives on the basis of customers giving them money for services, does everything g it can to render more service in exchange for more money? I'm shocked!
@@shanetuma3845 1
what are u on about man. ive been to many high end steak restaurants. nusret servers are the same as any other. what sales tactics?? lol
Service is important????..............
Have you ever been a server? You’re supposed to make the customer spend more money, especially at the high end places
