Dozens of Venezuelans gathered under the hot Miami sun Wednesday afternoon to protest outside of the local outpost of Nusret Gökçe -- the butcher and chef sensation also known as Salt Bae who days earlier caused a social media firestorm after he posted videos on Twitter and Instagram of him serving President Nicolas Maduro at his restaurant’s location in Istanbul.
As several diners entered the Nusr-Et steakhouse over the lunch hour in the city’s Brickell financial district, crowds chanted “accomplice, accomplice.” Many had Venezuelan flags draped around their shoulders.
