The recent earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on February 6 has left the world in shock. As the death toll continues to rise, people from all over the world have come forward to help the affected regions. Among them is the famous Turkish restaurateur, Nusret Gokce, also known as Salt Bae, who has stepped up to feed 5,000 people every day from the quake-hit areas.
Nusret Gokce is renowned for his chain of Nusr-Et restaurants, where he is known for his signature style of sprinkling salt over meat dishes. However, in the wake of the earthquake, he put his fame to good use by providing aid to the survivors.
The chef shared a video on Instagram, showing a mobile kitchen from his restaurant Nusr Et preparing meals for the survivors. In the caption, he wrote that they aim to serve hot food to 5,000 people every day. The day before the truck reached the affected areas, Salt Bae had also given a virtual tour of the mobile kitchen, calling it the most important and meaningful service in the world for him.
