The ad sees Salt Bae, real name Nusret Gökçe, doing what he does best, before slicing up the steak and feeding it, direct from the knife, to one of the cartel.
The first two seasons of Narcos told the story of the infamous drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, who became a millionaire through the distribution of cocaine.
Season three, launched on September 1, picks up after the fall of Escobar and focuses on the Drugs Enforcement Agency (DEA) as they go up against the Cali Cartel.

The Oscar winner looks mesmorised by the seasoning of his steak, looking like he's so high that even the simplest of twists from a salt shaker would impress him.
Salt Bae really loves his meat, and puts a lot of care and attention into the steaks he serves.

Just when you'd thought he'd had his five minutes of fame... back he comes. This guy is here to stay.
