SALT Bae is hiring at his lavish London restaurant - but the hourly wage might prove hard to swallow, as it's the same as the price of MASHED POTATO on his menu.

       The UK branch of Nusret G？k？e's meat empire promises a "competitive salary" for applicants, but it seems that's only equivalent to a side of spuds.

       The Chef de Partie will be paid ￡12 per hour - the same price as a portion of mashed potato at Nusr-Et

       The restaurant, situated in Knightsbridge, is on the hunt for a Chef de Partie to join the ranks.

       The role typically involves working in one area of the kitchen and rallying several cooks and assistants.

       Nusr-Et's job advert boasts that the successful applicant "will be working with some of the finest ingredients from the UK and abroad in one of the most famous steakhouses in the world."

       But the lucky chef will take home just ￡12 an hour, plus tips.

       The hourly rate is therefore equivalent to ordering a side portion of mash or a corn on the cob in Nusr-Et - meaning they would have to work over 52 hours to chow down on one of their ￡630 golden tomahawk steaks.

       The vacancy on Caterer.com reads: "Amazing opportunity for an experienced Chef De Partie to join Nusret team in the new restaurant in London!

       "As a Chef De Partie, you will be working with some of the finest ingredients from the UK and abroad in the one of the most famous steakhouses in the world.

       "You will play a vital part in a large team and will support the Head Chef during service.

       "To the successful candidate Nusret London offers a highly competitive salary and excellent opportunities to develop a global career.

       "If you’re a Chef de Partie looking to work the famous steakhouse, send your CV, we want to hear from you!"

       Salt Bae previously went on a mass hiring spree last month, hosting a three-day event in an attempt to track down new employees.

       He called for waiters, runners, bartenders and many other job titles to nip in Nusr-et with their CVs.

       But his open call drastically backfired - as The Sun revealed not a single person turned up.

       Despite expecting queues around the corner, the top-flight restaurant was left awkwardly empty.

       Although he hasn't struggled to fill up seats in his 15th establishment, the jaw-dropping price tags have proved too much to stomach for some Brits.

       A DEAR DINNER

       The menu includes a ￡100 gold-covered burger, a ￡50 cappuccino and ￡25 desserts.

       Some of the restaurant's specials include a Golden Giant Tomahwak steak for ￡1,450, Golden Giant Striplion for ￡1,350 and Golden Kafes for ￡500.

       However, even smaller items come with a hefty price tag - an onion flower costs ￡18, while a Coke is ￡9 and a Red Bull is ￡11.

       A recent whopping ￡1,812.40 bill included a 15 per-cent service charge of ￡236.40.

       Amongst the costly courses, the receipt showed the customer bought a buratta for ￡25, a ￡23 salad, two prawn tempura rolls costing ￡60, and a ￡12 corn on the cob.

       Turkish butcher Nusret now has a global restaurant empire thanks to his theatrical steak presentation - immortalised in a 2017 video watched over 17 million times.

       Several amateur chefs have tried to give Salt Bae a run for his money by recreating his ￡1,450 steak for just a fraction of the price.

       George Runham, 30, rustled up his version by spending just ￡12 on a piece of steak from M&S and ￡6.99 on gold leaf sheets from Amazon.

       And Gareth Mason has stuck a Northern twist on his adaptation of the pricey dish, by selling a ￡12.50 pork pie covered in gold leaf.
