Is Brooklyn Beckham trying to be Salt Bae? Aspiring ‘chef’ debuts same black gloves in cookery video
Brooklyn Beckham appears to channel viral TikTok sensation Salt Bae by rocking a pair of black gloves in her latest cooking tutorial.
The aspiring chef, 23, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a video showing how to make a traditional “Michelin style” Sunday dinner.
He was joined by former Michelin chef Kevin Lee to introduce the tutorial, in which Brooklyn was roasted when fans claimed the meat was too raw when plated.
Channeling: Brooklyn Beckham appears to channel viral TikTok sensation Salt Bae by rocking a pair of black gloves in her latest cooking tutorial.
In the video, Brooklyn was sporting a gray hoodie with the sleeves rolled up and initially went gloveless as she began preparing food.
But then he seemed to channel the Turkish butcher, who rose to fame for his skill in cutting meat, as he donned a pair of black gloves to coat the meat in a thick layer of butter.
Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckhams have proven to be longtime fans of the internet sensation, having been seen doing their best impersonations of the restaurateur and visiting his restaurant in the past.
Black gloves in cooking videos have become a viral TikTok trend and while it’s unclear who originally started the craze, it’s believed to have been Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe.

The chef was forced to start wearing cooking gloves to avoid a health code violation at his New York restaurant in 2018, according to G.Q..
Section 81 of the New York City Health Code prohibits bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat foods, which prompted him to introduce the new measure.
Then Salt Bae chose to cook wearing black gloves, which have now become an iconic look synonymous with the star, and more video chefs began choosing gloves of the same color as well.
And Brooklyn has been the latest to embrace the recognizable look, after proving he’s a longtime fan with his playful impression of the talented chef.

Sprinkle: Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, is known for his iconic sprinkling of salt in his TikTok cooking videos.
In January 2018, Brooklyn met Salt Bae while dining at his New York restaurant NUSR-ET and was seen imitating the chef’s iconic salt-sprinkling move.
Brooklyn, who was a photography student at the time, was shown trying to remove his familiar salt dusting, before turning the camera to show Salt Bae himself next to him.
Brooklyn seemed drawn in by the expert skill as he turned to the camera in disbelief and simply said, ‘Amazing!’
Big fans: And their admiration for the cooking expert seems to run in the family, as David had also tried the iconic drizzle a few days earlier.

While dining with chef friend Gordon Ramsay and his family, David was inspired by chef-turned-viral sensation Salt Bae when he was seen doing the infamous elbow scatter.
Captioning the video ‘Nice Try’, the sports star gave his best attempt at the infamous sprinkle, but it turned out more disaster than success, missing the base entirely with banana slices hitting the countertop.
Reunion: Just a few weeks after it went to print, David had the pleasure of taking his wife Victoria and children Romeo, Cruz and Harper to Salt Bae’s NUSR-ET restaurant.

Documenting the food on Instagram, he was seen being fed steak with a dangerously sharp knife by Salt Bae himself, before his younger brood also tried out the Instagram sensation’s famous salt-spraying technique.
In a clip shared on Salt Bae’s own page, David’s sons Romeo and Cruz, along with daughter Harper, were seen trying out their famous culinary move while demonstrating their adoration for the longtime star.
