Chapter 1: What happens when I meet Salt Bae for the first time?
In this video, I'm going to spend 24 hours with Salpe. It is currently just over 4 a.m. in Istanbul, Turkey. And we are on our way to meet Salpe. We flew in last night, and he insisted that we go on a 10-mile run at 5 or 6 in the morning. And then I said no. And then he said, yes. So here we are. Ready? I just still don't know why I'm doing this. Seriously, I don't. I said no like three times.
Good morning. Good morning. Very strong. Gorgeous. Hey, you got to get your pinky out, Nick.
Chapter 2: What is the experience of running with Salt Bae like?
Oh, yeah.
There you go. That looks better. All right, here we go.
We just had like a bunch of security guards spawned out of nowhere. Like out of completely nowhere. This is beautiful. Oh yeah, you guys look great. Picturesque. Oh, here we go. All right. Here we go. So you just have a car that follows us the whole time? They just follow you? This is the one. Nice little fish break we had there. Nice little fish break. I like that a lot actually.
Mile in. How you feeling? We're only a mile in. I don't know. I think so. We're a mile in only. How are you feeling on your run right now? Unbelievable. You can't tell. We just started to pick up the pace. Nick's getting absolutely cooked. They are sprinting up there. We just straight up got security guard with us. Support vehicle. We're in the middle of the highway. Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
What a great water break. How far are we?
Okay, didn't answer my question. How far are we? Looks like we're speeding up a little. Salt Bae's putting on the jets.
Oh, you gotta step out of them. I got boxed out by the thing.
Oh, great. Salt Bae's been generous enough to give Nick his ankle weights. Go, go, go, go, go. He's just sprinting out of nowhere to make the leg. He's like a monk. He's just hanging out. Let's go. Let's go.

Chapter 3: How does Salt Bae train and stay fit?
No idea what we're doing the rest of the day. You're going to find out at the same time as I am.
Great, great, great job.
This is your gym. All custom gold.
Gold machines, gold ceilings.
Almost everything. Finished our workout. Quick stretch. Well, he does not work out.
I've never seen this stretch in my whole life, Nick. Let me tell you that.
I'm getting twisted in every direction. Honestly, I think 90% of these stretches I've never seen before. He's just doing full-on acrobatics over there. It's not even stretching. I've never seen anything like it. How are you feeling right now? Amazing. So we're sitting down for a quick breakfast in his restaurant. How many restaurants do you have? 30. This is a ridiculous amount of veggies.
This is crazy. This is what you have every day?
Yes, after the gym.

Chapter 4: What unique stretches does Salt Bae incorporate into his routine?
Quite possibly some of the bigger watermelons I've ever seen in my life. Yes, yeah. Right? Photo with the Turkish flag.
Okay, ready? We'll wait for this guy.
Come with me.
Okay, ready?
Three, two, one. We're going to one of the restaurants to check on it. Because of traffic. The traffic, sometimes you just take a boat instead. Yeah, exactly. Time is important. Time is important. I wish that if there was traffic, I could just take a boat. Immaculate vibes. Look at Captain Salt Bae here. We got Captain Salt Bae. We even got hot coffee. This is just amazing.
We got a new captain with a nice coffee. Can't beat this. Another location. We are pulling up to Salt Bae's house. It's bigger than I thought it would be. We skipped all the traffic. We're at the next restaurant. We've done a lot today.

Chapter 5: What does breakfast look like at Salt Bae's restaurant?
We've done a lot today. You can't really go anywhere without just him getting mobbed. If you're ever doing a day in the life with him, just know that. But you don't see Heinz Mayonnaise in the U.S., huh? No, this isn't. They don't have this in the U.S. Really? No. Do you need a squishy pose? Special for you, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
They look like they can cook some one more time. On to the next one. Throughout the day, I'm having a harder and harder time walking. First shopping mall in the world. I feel like this is not doing him justice. What's with the arm hairs? He looks so much better than this in real life. Yeah, he does.
This is the coolest restaurant so far. Wow. Exactly wow.
Gotta have the merch. Gotta have the merch. Gotta have it. What's so cool to watch today is that he just pops into these restaurants and everybody gets up from the tables that's eating there and is so excited. And imagine like you're eating at a restaurant of Salt Bae or Gordon Ramsay and then they just show up. And then you can just take a photo with them Everybody gets up from their table.
Everybody wants a picture. And he's really nice about just going around and taking photos with everybody. He's great.
There's a tour group right here. The tour guy's selling them. The most famous man is in the car. Buenos Aires!
So now we are at the factory. Let's go. Let's go. We get to see where the magic happens, where the meat is cut and ready. What?
Listen, no factory. Hospital.

Chapter 6: How does Salt Bae prepare his signature dishes?
Not to get confused.
These hallways do feel a lot like a hospital. I have to give it to them. So this is all the lettuce for all the restaurants just being chopped in one place so they can all be clean. This is nice though.
Check it out. That thing is movable.
Oh, wow. Those are the onions for the Bloomin' Onions that they have. And then this is just clean arugula for me. Wow, what a present. Love a good piece of arugula. I guess we're doing this.
This is so cool. Looks like a mango. Mango.
Here they come. It really does feel like a nuclear bunker with the yellow, like the uranium colors. All fillet. Not cut yet. Today we'll cut them together. Here we go. Here we go. This is why he gets paid the big bucks. All fat. Now he's going to show us what the inside looks like after you cut off that exterior bark. Should be lighter and ripe, but still kind of dark with that dry age.
I'm stepping in for a second. I'm going to do my best to try to take off this fat. Start ripping it, tacking it just a little bit. Just go all the way down. He's trimming down a giant fillet right now. And right now he's taking off what's called the silver skin. Oh, I like that trick. This guy knows how to trim steak. I gotta give him food. Let's watch.
Trimming off the ends to give us a perfect chateaubriand. That's a clean, even piece of the tenderloin. A filet mignon would be if you cut right here and took one of these pieces. Oh, my God. He knows how to captivate you when he's cutting meat. He knows how to captivate you. So he's trimming off the meat now with some pretty heavy machinery. But look at the gloves he's wearing.
He even got this coat of armor on the front here. This is the meat mountain right here. The meat mountain. And it's making me hungry. I think it's time for lunch. We're going for a traditional Turkish meal. Exactly the best Turkish traditional foods. Look at this bread, dude. Watch the steam come out of it. Look how amazing that looks.
