Salt Bae Shares Bizarre 'Salt Father' Godfather Parody Video

Salt Bae has shared a bizarre video on Instagram in which he takes on the role of 'The Salt Father'. Watch here:

The unorthodox restaurateur - real name Nusret Gökçe - can be seen dressed up all dapper stroking a cat in the parody of the classic crime movie The Godfather.

It appears he has taken on the role of Don Vito Corleone, or Don Meato Corleone, perhaps.

The burning question at this point though is whether we will ever in fact get to see a feature-length version of The Salt Father.

Did the Turkish viral phenomenon just have a spare afternoon, and this is how he decided to spend it? Or is this a teaser trailer for something much bigger?

I sense it may be the former, but I hope it turns out to be the latter.

This is far from the first time Gökçe has baffled people with his unique brand of social media output.

Just the other day, he shared a video in which he taught a load of his kitchen staff how to properly wash dishes.

Apparently, the secret is to do it in an almost comically slow and sensual fashion, making sure to rub the plate as if it's your lover, before rinsing it off under the tap, leaving it to dry out, then gently caressing it once again with a tea towel.

Let's hope they've got a lot of plates and bowls at his restaurant, because washing them all like this is certainly a labour intensive process.

At the end of the video, Gökçe showed off the sparkling clean plate - fair play, he did a decent job - to the assembled staff, who seemed fairly impressed with his efforts.

He'll probably b*****k 'em next week though when there's a huge pile of dirty dishes piled up and three sparkling clean plates.
