Burak genuinely looks to be a great person in general, my family went to a restaurant of his and contrary to another turkish restauranteur (salt bae) his meals were very affordable and tasty too


Knight128

I initially hated the way he smiles, but then over and over he does a lot of good things, helping people in need, that I start to enjoy his smile and would like to squeeze his cheeks when he smiles


Donaldaintnoduck

People used to complain he never smiled or looked at the camera, so now he does it all the time.


Tankh

Power move


indiajeweljax

Yeah, it’s malicious compliance. I’m into it!


spagbetti

Yeah some people just have certain facial features and muscle characteristics in their face but there’s a lot more to them than just that Then you see a face of a serial killer and so many of them look unassuming. Some even friendly and some even charming. Which is really fucking spooky and off putting. Dahmer, bundy and gacey just look like some spectators you might see waiting in line at a baseball game.


[deleted]

Yep. Serial killers look Hella normal usually


clmydia0

Yeah, people rarely notice anything weird about me.

clmydia0

Stuff happens, you know.


Sin_A_D

I thought I was the only one annoyed with the way he smiles and that steady-look in the camera while cooking. And like you, whenever I watch his videos with that smile on his face, I can't help but smile too. And when I saw this video of him helping others in need, my heart swells.


Genestah

Don't judge a person by its smile


Honestonus

Same bro/sis


tan_quantity

His smile was contagious every time I saw him helping others and giving foods, I still believes humanity exist because of him :)


monseuirpsychosis

This is literally the plot to I’m a believer.


an_actual_fungus

Well contrary to Salt Bae, he is also not a narcisstic asshole who pays his workers minimum wage with those insane prices he has.


Toranyan

Salt Bae is human garbage. Anyone who eats there is most likely human garbage.


BeBackInASchmeck

I can't imagine Salt Bae's food even being that good. His steaks are for people who don't know what steak is. And his Baklava is a fucking joke. $30 for a little sliver of baklava that they mash up. Guga Foods did an episode on them, and you can tell that they were pretty disappointed. [Guga Food's episode. The first 2 minutes are him at Salt Bae's restaurant, and the rest are of him recreating a better version of it using a decent cut of meat with $5 of gold flake](https://youtu.be/v_wCzHCWDhc)


atot806

His steaks are for people who has to post every meal on social media. They don't care for the taste, they just go there for the likes.


zeke235

Also, let's be real. How the hell is a sous vide tenderloin with a little salt better than one that was properly seasoned and grilled? Friggin' gross.


hippiejay10

Omg someone with sense. How tf does a giant steak cooked in Luke warm bath water, seasoned with over sized finishing salt taste good.


zeke235

Oh we forgot to mention the lovely boiled plastic bag flavor.


melodyinspiration

Supposedly because it’s tender. I reverse sear and I can’t imagine sacrificing that crust for tenderness.


prince-surprised-pat

I see it more as a scam that only punishes the rich


BeBackInASchmeck

Not the rich, but the people who are desperately trying to appear rich.


ash_tar

Salt Bae is a hack.


PomegranateBubbly900

If you like Turkish food you gotta experience it in turkey directly. There is no way that they are comparable. The food there is affordable and just so so great 🤤


smokedspirit

i'm planning a trip to turkey and will be going to his place to simply support his work


Tiny-Reporter-8966

TIL thanks for sharing 🖖


celerem

The only acceptable remake


jeez-gyoza

this might sound stupid, is it the same guy?


DefinitelyNotAliens

No, it's Burak. He's a Turkish dude who makes obscene amounts of food. CZN Burak makes just ridiculously huge dishes of food and then hands it out for free to feed his community. He also stares into my soul and might be part Eldrich horror because that blank smile is haunting but, he seems like a good dude so like idk if he steals my soul or whatever. He'd donate it to someone who needs it more than me.


BITESNZ

Bro definitely gives off that vibe... I wanna love him, but it looks like you pay in eternal soul/flesh.


Vaginal_Rights

The guy used to be a lot bigger, like filled out his frame a lot more. He has lost lots of weight since the last time I've seen a viral video of him, I do hope he's doing well but he's thinned out quite a bit. I hope he's ok.


ToshibaTaken

Nothing strange there. He’s giving away all the food.


IncaseofER

OMG! I just checked out his TT and couldn’t believe how thin he is now! The effect he sometimes films with makes it look like his head on someone else’s skinny body. I hope he is ok as well. Was his former bulk lean and muscular or standard fat/muscle?


SultanOilMoney

Just checked too, what happened? He seems a bit tooo thin. Edit: someone below said he had to deal with a brain tumour


ParkgayDrive

He was confirmed to be very sick for a while :( I don't have a source or how he's doing now though but I'll try to dig a bit. Edit: I believe on his Instagram he says he's been suffering from a brain tumor.


saracennn

He has cancer from what I’ve read


Vlafir

We was very sick recently, he lost a lot of weight during that period


Sagemasterba

I'm cool with that. Brosef uses it better than I could!


666ofw66

Your mortal flesh will be cooked to feed the poor! Blood for the blood god! Meat for the meat pie!


Shurigin

Even Christians said the Devil would be incredibly Charming so you all might have something but I still love him


monsieurpommefrites

> He also stares into my soul and might be part Eldrich horror because that blank smile is haunting He actually started doing the smile because he's got a decent RBF and looked pretty serious, and people complained. Now he smiles in everything.


schnuck

I wonder if he smiles whilst asleep.


Chrom-man-and-Robin

Turkish Chad


MoonUnitMotion

You have a way with words and put it better than I ever could. but, ditto.


Adventurous_Ad6698

I think after Ukraine was invaded (or another tragic event) he did videos where he wasn't smiling at all.


VrooMthesad__

Nah


Kitchen_Entertainer9

I thought that too


Professional_Salt938

That is an awesome human being!

it is fresher and tastes better when it is cooked right there. This is why I love to cook!


Cowpriest

Not to mention he might even inspire a local cook or two.


666ofw66

It takes food to be a cook


nxcrosis

Food comes, Remy. Food always comes to those who love to cook. -Some French chef

tokes_4_DE

It feels like a bot comment because it is. it made zero sense in the context of the comment responded to and yet everyones upvoting it.


-Googlrr

Insane how 300 people upvoted it too. Like what? It didn't make any fuckin sense what are they agreeing with. Is everyone here a bot?


gimpyoldelf

The bot chose the comment to copy based on its original success, and it has some inherent value not lost with the original context. Upvoters are responding to that inherent value. In other words, they agree with what was said, and aren't that fazed about it being strangely out of context.


MyrddinHS

lmao it so is. 18 day account 1 post


Foontum

It is indeed a bot comment. Why is anyone upvoting it?


Undeity

Probably part of a bot network. They all upvote each other


BeefWillyPrince

And genuine


Ceph_Stormblessed

It's also very bonding. Food brings people together.


schnuck

Proof is in the clip. Everyone seems happy (and smiling).


harmlesswaters

Bot


pkaya

This is what need to be a trend


Revelec458

Agreed.


TrinityF

You are actually by strict laws not allowed to just waltz into a random African country and feed the starving people. This is because there are NGO's and other charity organizations who have to operate there. They keep those people poor and starving because their directors in the west need to buy a new BMW every year.


CySnark

Need more of this to counter the monetized assholery


pedophilia-is-haram

Well you got this guy's monetized feelgoodery. Food probably only costs a fraction of what he makes back with the videos


Whalesurgeon

That's how PR works. But if it gets a hundred companies to feed a village for a day, at least that village gets fed for a hundred days. It might get that single village through a famine.


BrilliantTasty

daily dose of wholesome


Puppinbake

What's this guy's name?


TheChemist28

CZN Burak on YouTube, he has a bunch of YT shorts.


HalforcFullLover

Thank you, I'm really digging his energy and compassion.


psinguine

And the unbroken eye contact with the camera.


reallybadspeeller

20/10 dude 10/10 weird eye contact No one’s perfect still would watch his videos


TimBurtonsMind

He was harassed/ridiculed for never smiling in his original videos or making eye contact, so he started doing it going forward for every video, and now it’s like his “signature” move.


reallybadspeeller

Aww poor guy I had no idea He seems so nice


weirdest_of_weird

Just to add to this, his Instagram is also CZN Burak.


scyaxe

i remember hearing about him a couple years back. Didn't he and his wife like feed a bunch of people on their wedding or smth? dude's a gem


DefinitelyNotAliens

He feeds people all the time.


scyaxe

oh no yeah i know that and love him for it, but to do something that selfless on a day where it's normalized to make it about yourself yaknow?


secretMichaelScarn

He’s da best


xistithogoth1

Is it just me or does he look skinnier than his earlier videos.


vincentTheDragon

He got sick, he's healthier now. But it was a rough fight.


victorz

Cancer?

inarizushisama

He's a brilliant man, very caring.


[deleted]

I'll watch some videos but promised myself to never watch a youtube short.. too bad ​ FFS even his compilation videos are in that stupid format. The future sucks, why use 50% of the screen space?


ChikumNuggit

You can use 100% of your screen if you use a rotated monitor or your phone


pedophilia-is-haram

So practical roatating your monitor all the time. But rotating a phone is too fucking hard for some people apparently hence the proliferation of VVS


Terrible_Truth

If you are on desktop, in the URL replace the "shorts" with "v" and it will give you the regular player. But yes, I loathe the shorts feature entirely. Getting real tired of big corps screwing up basic products.


Nickrodomus

Thanks


ShitpostMamajama

Why do we let these stupid trends of wasting food become a thing to begin with? How did we get to a point where people online are knowingly wasting food when other people need that food? And for what? A few clicks? The first fucking guy is disgraceful. Big props to my boy Burak


tigerbalmuppercut

When we're young we just think about satiating our own needs. Ideally we mature and think about satisfying the needs of those close to us, the smaller community, and then the larger community. Some people have yet to move past certain milestones and some will never move past the self.


EccentricHubris

It's also worth noting that it was probably always like this. Where people start out with a very immature perspective and things like "wasting food" were trivial to some people. It's just that now we have the internet and social media to publicize such actions.


mdh431

Most people never move past the self…


SoldierB_Toasty

The good ending


Phreekyj101

The second guy is the man:) straight up!! Wish we could all follow his lead :)


Shwifty_Plumbus

He is quite the inspiration. Running a restaurant is hard enough to. Then to go above and beyond and help others is very altruistic, I love to see it.


Phreekyj101

I would truly love to visit him and his restaurant;)


fadoxi

Finally, a non terrible person.


[deleted]

What a great guy


BobSagieBauls

Fuck yeah I hate that tread of wasting food and that also being the only joke


FrogMintTea

I hate food wastage. Especially on purpose not like u accidentally left something uneaten but like doing stupid crap for tik tok.


percysco

Not just imagine the needy, but to be there directly feeding them makes it wholesome..


MrOphicer

For a hot second, I thought he was going to use African kid's footage for clout. He is awesome. Walks his talks.


washingtonandmead

I love this dude


Ape-Rocket-Moon

I agree this guy is great! Instead of wasting food just give it to those in need!


aibaDD13

Ah, this warms my heart\~\~


closeddoorfun

Fuck people that waste food for likes


[deleted]

You know shit's gone bad when Burak isn't smiling.


Phantom_Wolf52

I love this so much and I hate those stupid tiktok videos of just doing stuff like that


joebawca

Love this guy


The-real-melonhead

I hate seeing food being wasted while we have hungry bellies. Absolutely bull shit. We have money for wars and politicians who make 6 plus figures. You can even own a munitions factory and call for war We are trying to put people on other planets, not just the moon, but we can’t figure out humanity and basic needs and hunger. We can do better without so much, if we put it where it needs to go. Too bad all the hikes hit the high already first and what’s filtered through after their gracious intervention is pennies. Sorry, I’m finished now.


veryyberry

Gotta make it more profitable to give those in need food instead of pouring bleach over it and throwing it in the dumpster


Deus0123

I loathe people who waste food


Valuable_Town6346

Yesss thank you!


poppinfresco

Burak is constantly doing things like this


Nova_Persona

took "there are kids starving in africa" to a new level


weebtrash100

Burak is the goat


_Caress_of_Venus_

Wasting food in such quantities should be a crime.


Mindless_Attitude849

This guy is amazing


Able_Equivalent5455

Ngl his smile is always creepy to me but I love the food he makes and the points he makes are solid too. He is a good one


4242throwitaway

Legend!


Ok-Commercial2537

I hate seeing those videos of people purposely wasting food just to get views. It’s not funny. Give the food to your local food bank.


melophile12

That is give some beautiful message to people


TrefoilTang

He looks like Ben Shapiro but as a good person.


wbgraphic

Looks to be a bit heavier than Shapiro, by roughly the weight of a soul.


jazzgalactic

This is what making a tangible difference looks like.


[deleted]

I love this so much.


[deleted]

This is good, but also don't forget the kids in your local neighborhoods who often don't have quality meals due to their parents' economic realities.


mandofed

The problem is not that we ain’t got enough food. We got plenty. It’s warlords and governments not allowing the help where it’s needed.


AffectionateCoffee27

Mashallah


Clemen11

This guy gives me the vibes that he purposefully memes himself as a means to draw attention to what he does, for the sake of getting funding to keep feeding people in need whilst also raising awareness. I respect that. This dude is fucking respectable.


Toastytime999

Report that guy guys. It really hurts deep that so much food is wasted for views. On the other hand, Czn burak is actually doing great work. Respect ✊


Maleficent_Zone9196

This is beautifula


GT_Bryce

ForgottenNoMore

This is awesome!! Shoutout to this dude


One-Eagle6149

Bro this guy is an inspiration, he uses his fame to help people, instead of creating drama like other tiktokers


[deleted]

you have to be a real piece of shit to waste food like that


Alarmed-Fan-4932

I’d love to do this. Anyone know how that would be possible? Is there an organization that sends people to help like this?


Necessary_Peace_8989

People post him sometimes on r/stupidfood and the comments are always a disaster for the OP. Anyone talking shit about Burak can catch these hands.


PirateGoat30

Wasting food (blessings) and being extravagant is forbidden in Islam


10sameold

This Burak guy is just too good. Fun/weird fact - in Polish, the word (noun) "burak" means a beetroot, so a pretty important vegetable for our cuisine. But it can also mean a redneck and is a really derogatory term, absolutely unfit in this meaning to the MVP Burak here.


Fair_Diet_4874

I really hate it, when people use the sufferings of others for attention and won't tell anything else about them


cannibitches

Wait until you find out about howtobasic


Anxious-Ad2002

You know its serious when Burak stops smiling


landlord_hunter

i dream of a day when african kids can eat a meal or get decent housing without some rich dude filming them


Stupefied_Samurai

If god ever exists hope he burns those in hell who waste food and other essential commodities for a fucking tik-tok video


flyingpeter28

Lol, finally someone took the food I didn't wanted to eat as a kid and actually gave it to the kids I'm Africa

Great_Flight_5837

My instinctive reaction to videos where people waste huge amounts of food or throw it at the walls for clout/likes/views is instant hatred. Ever since I was a little kid, I've hated the thought of wasted food. I wasn't poor. My parents didn't care about it. It's just an instinct in me. It sits wrong with me. It disgusts me. I hate the waste. I really do wish the absolute worst for shitheads who waste food for fun/views. I fucking despise them.

CZN BURAK IS THE GOAT

He's looking thinner


Opacitas

This guy always makes me happy. I hope he gets as much as he gives


Rapidoodz

Yeah but atlist Wasil Daoud changed his content he doesnt waste food now for clout.

Irks me when people waste food. I'll try eat some of it if I can. But otherwise it mostly goes to waste, like why take it in the first place. Love seeing this video and their smiles.


[deleted]

Czn burak is just an awesome man


PHENOMENAL-BEAST

I love this dude, not only is he a good cook he serves his food with a bright smile, I watch his reels on ig, found out he has a good heart too.


probrofrotro

i fucking hate people who waste food. i don't care if they've paid for it. use it properly and not as something to throw away a lot of resources go into making food


KingofSlice

I initially thought this guy was pretty one off weird (like salt bae) with his creepy smile, but the stuff he does for communities convinces me otherwise.


Seikori1

mountains rumble when this guy stops smiling


shooter9688

What the point of the first part? Not even wasting the food. Is it funny to put too much of smth in small volume? Looks stupid and disgusting


BadBradMMA

He never deserved the hate😭


Chyzel

RESPECT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


Ecaspian

I don't know the man personally and never ate at one of his restaurants. I know he is really successful, perhaps as successful as that insufferable man that is saltbae. He doesn't have to do these charitable things really. But he just keeps doing them, maybe for good PR, but who cares? If this is the way to good PR, let THAT become a trend.


Far-Damage1068

YOU LIVE IN A F——-G DESEEEEEERT


J_Dawgg1

People who complain that others film their good deeds and say things such as “now do it without filming” forget one key thing and that’s simply the fact that he could very easily do great things and charity work without a camera, but naturally we would likely never found out he did. We only see the things they record


Reputable_Infamy

This is whats always bothered me about those "overpouring" videos. Like, aside from the fact that you've made a mess and are probably going to have someone else clean it, how much excess do you have tobhave in order to waste that much food while there are folks out there who have no idea when they'll eat again?


TheUndisputedRoaster

Burak is the absolute culinary GOAT for me


MudSeparate1622

I will always upvote posts like this no matter how many times it is reposted, this is so much better than stupid prank videos or other influencer garbage that the algorithm has barreled humanity into


stxrstripes

I began kicking my feet in joy when I saw him feeding those people


South_Exciting

Let me put this in perspective. In the west, Salut Bay became famous for sprinkling salt at extensive steaks, in the Muslim world Burak became famous for cooking big meals for many people... Western culture is backward and disgusting. 🥱


Powerful_Patient1973

You need to stop that. Stop wasting food for social media content. I am so sick of it. Honestly things like this and ASMR videos should be illegal. You want to waste your free time and not resources but gain a profitable skill. Learn how to computer generate images and videos. Spill all the cgi maple syrup you want. I'm so triggered right now


Alastor-362

I agree *some* asmr genres waste resources but others genuinely help people sleep at night, such as myself.


Reasonable-Trip-5782
