Celebrity steak chef Salt Bae has ignited controversy by sharing a receipt of $108,500 for a single meal at his Dubai restaurant last week. The 40-year-old Turkish chef whose real name is Nusret Gokce wrote on Instagram, "Money comes money goes," along with a video of the receipt. 

Internet users argued that the lengthy bill is an insult to hard-working Turks struggling to cope with the 60% rise in inflation and 10% unemployment rate, Newsflash reported. 

The diners who visited Salt Bae's Nusr-Et Steakhouse Dubai at the Four Seasons resort on Saturday had beef carpaccio, french fries, salad, baklava and fruit.

The diners also had luxurious gold-covered meat, including one filet mignon and three steaks. 

For drinks, the diners had four porn star martinis ($130), two bottles of Chateau Petrus 2009 ($53,900), one bottle of Petrus 2011 ($17,700) and five double glasses of the exclusive Louis XIII cognac neat ($7,500).
