The 'Needs More Salt' meme features Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, famously known as Salt Bae, in his breakout viral video from January 2017 titled 'Ottoman Steak.' In the iconic 15-second clip, Gökçe elegantly carves a steak before performing his signature move: sprinkling coarse salt down his forearm so it bounces off his elbow onto the meat. This gesture, combined with his dark sunglasses and white t-shirt, turned him into a global symbol of flamboyant flair. The clip is universally used to represent being 'extra,' adding the perfect finishing touch to a situation, or injecting unnecessary drama into a simple story. It captures the feeling of peak confidence and the satisfaction of a job well done. Common uses include depicting someone adding one last spicy detail to a rumor or a student adding a single source to a bibliography. Example captions include: 'Me adding lol to a text so I don't sound aggressive,' 'When the recipe says a pinch of salt but you want flavor,' and 'Adding one more item to the cart to get free shipping.'
