Could have guessed the sort of customer that attends that place.

It's a marketing concept, insta generation of restaurants.

'There is a 1976 essay on the end of empires by the fabulously named General Sir John Glubb which is instructional here. He posits that empires move from affluence to decadence easily, and then collapse. Sitting at my picnic table holding one of Kebab Kid’s finest, I wonder whether we are now teetering on the edge. After all, as well as tasting of nothing, all that gold leaf will pass straight through the body. So let me leave you with this image: Salt Bae’s customers, the morning after the night before, getting off the throne, looking down and clocking that all their money has bought them is a bunch of glittering turds.'

My Dad used to babysit Jay Rayner when he was a kid (my old man used to know his Mum well and sorted out specs for the family).

"The kid was a litte c**t" was my father's description.

That article is a thing of beauty, as are some of the comments below it.
This one made me chuckle:

TBH 'vvankers in finance' (sic) are going to be burning that kind of money anyway. All part of the Loadsamoney schtik. Fair play to Salt Bloke for creaming off a slice for a bit of performance art.

A lot of the time I think the rich do things just because they can rather than because it's genuinely worth the money.

Anyone who has managed to tax stupidity deserves the money.

£11 for a red bull is peanuts if you are wealthy enough.

Money buys you experiences, the material things become very ‘samey’ after a while and so, Salt Bae, and gold steaks, why the hell not. Count me in.

Not his fault and I enjoyed the article but if the Guardian was as interested in “exposing” 4+ million children living in poverty then that would be nice.
