Venezuelans starve as Maduro fills his pie-hole with rib eyes and cigars

Salt Bae chef in hot water after serving Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro
President shown eating expensive meal amid food shortages at home

MIAMI - Turkish restaurateur Nusret Gokce -- better known as Salt Bae -- has come under fire on social media after a video showed him serving Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia, an expensive steak during a dinner in Istanbul.

Venezuela's economy has been in free fall in recent years with many people living in poverty and suffering from malnutrition.

Images and videos of Gokce sprinkling salt on his dishes became a viral sensation last year, making him an international celebrity. He owns several high-end Nusr-Et Steakhouse restaurants, including one in Miami's Brickell neighborhood.

Gokce posted the video of Maduro on his Twitter and Instagram accounts on Monday.
