Alas, Africa Now Has Its Own #SaltBae

Over the past four days or so, the internet has gone wild over Turkish chef and restaurant owner, Nusret Gökçe, as he takes thirst trapping to a whole other level with meat, salt and his killer knife skills.

But because the Internet, the chef's videos went viral under #SaltBae, and different online communities began to make their own hilarious memes out of his numerous videos—but this one by self-proclaimed "future movie star" from Kenya, Seth Gor, takes the cake.

Not only does he show off how he works an avocado, he makes it known that he's Africa's own #SaltBae.

As you're reading this, the video is spreading like wildfire, and African Twitter can't get enough of this parody:

Sigh. I love us.
