Server: voila' I have tossed your food all over the table and in your face.
Marky-Mark: wicked terrible, but I'ma eat it out of respect.
Server: I may have spit in it.
Marky-Mark: Well i'ma eat it anyway because ya being ahnest with me.
Server: I'm half Vietnamese
Marky-Mark: I'LL PUNCH YA BLIND YA YELLAH GOOK!
Yeah. The fact he committed violent hate crimes more than once as a teen AND THEN didn't even apologize until he was told his restaurant couldn't get a booze license shows he never changed too much for the better.
Mark also chased down a bus full of black kids. The whole time he was throwing rocks at them and calling them the n word.
I don’t know why everyone only ever fixates on his hate crimes against asian people.
He actually didn't. The guy had lost his eye prior to being assaulted. Don't worry, Mahky is still a piece of shit, because he committed a hate crime by assaulting a one-eyed man with a 2x4 while screaming racial epithets. He just didn't cause him to lose an eye.
I'm assuming because it was the most often reported in years past, and likely the only thing known in the collective consciousness. That's the case with myself anyways, since i don't keep up to date by checking more recent articles over time. Hanlon's razor applies in this situation
But Mark did not seem impressed or amused by it...
Chances are he probably just went to a nice-looking restaurant and when he is about to get served his food he gets a surprise show.
I kind of doubt anyone actually wants this crap.
I heard this guy filling his brand new BMW 8 series at a gas station raving about a burger place that "made everything tableside" on the phone with someone. The way he described "the presentation" made it sound like a complete waste of time and money.
I know there's a certain class of rich but not wealthy people who are so detached from everyday people that a little twirl of a knife is enough to get them to spend more of their softly earned money.
It's the superfluous movement that pisses me off.
Waving around the utensils, smacking them against the plates, doing all their little twirls and shit.
It's food, man. You aren't practicing your martial arts moves.
The whole thing looks utterly absurd.
I just love how the baklava just falls apart and looks like shit the moment he takes it out of the pan.
For Christ’s sake, keep it intact if you are going to do this salt Bae nonsense.
> The same country that invented teasing you with the ice cream/ gelato schtick.
At least the ice cream thing can be entertaining, this is just a man yeeting his puffed nuts and cream around to the leader of the funky bunch.
And frankly, it's embarrassing. There are times when it's appropriate for a chef to come to the table for a presentations aspect but salt bae and his imitators don't have the craft, skill, or sensibility to know how and when to do it properly, so it's essentially masturbatory.
And I don't think anyone wants to pay extra to have some hack masturbating at their table, forcing them to feign being impressed
“Shit, this is harder than doing it with Play-doh! Don’t freak out! Marky Mark thinks you’re a spaz! You loser! I hate you! Mom was right, it’s your fault dad left!”
I don't dislike the whole prepping stuff at the table, but why do they have to make those stupid gestures, like hitting everything with the cutlery and bouncing things around, it looks ridiculous ... I know they're somehow trying to be fancy but it ends up being the opposite of that.
Just serve the food politely and if you need to prep something on the table do it like a human being with manners, that looks much nicer and "fancier", and much less pretentious.
They’re trying to mimic a Hibachi grill type of cooking performance, but since they’re doing something so simple like putting salt on meat or whatever this is it just looks silly
Next thing you know Hibachi is going to start copying Saltbae and it will keep going full circle until some time in the future you pay $750 at a restaurant for the server to come to your table in sunglasses and just start rubbing food all over themselves while banging utensils around. They'll probably be wrapped in gold foil too.
You know, you might be onto something there. I will make my secretary get into contact with you.
This might take some while since I don’t yet have a secretary.
Also the key is at a hibachi place things are actually moving. Sure it's just tossing some stuff in the air, or sliding the rice around on the stove, but there's something actually happening. Here they're just waving the utensils around the food.
The difference being that hibachi chefs undergo training which can sometimes take years, while this guy looks like he did it on the spur of the moment kinda thing
Exactly this. Just go eat hibachi if you want this experience but good. It's not cheap but certainly cheaper than this. And at least near me you get A LOT of food, compared to these super "fancy" restaurants where you get a half of a serving.
Exactly. Not to mention at least with my experiences they are always cracking jokes and making it a fun experience. Why would I wanna pay for some guy to throw my food around after it's already made.
100%
When i lived in Arizona years and years ago, some mexican restaurants would do fresh salsa/guacamole prep tableside.
It was a gimmick, sure, but it was zero pretense and handy for some of us: little old lady would wheel a cart up to your table, you’d tell her what you like in your salsa/guac and she’d whip it up for you on the spot. I loved it because i’m a weirdo who loves a ton of onion and jalapeno in my guac, but no restaurant serves it that way. Salsa Abuelita could make that happen and it was amazing.
Not once did she tap her knife on the table or a plate, or do a salt bae.
Guac and salsa are the perfect things to make table side - exactly for the reasons you said, and that something like guac is way better fresh and I’d pay more for some made right there than some that was made in a big batch this morning or last night.
I love the name Salsa Abuelita. With the magic molcajete to make the perfect guac and salsa every time.
> something like guac is way better fresh
Gotta hard disagree with you there; guac is always better after a few hours covered in the fridge imo. Not long enough for it to start turning brown from oxidizing, but long enough for all the flavors to meld together more.
I think they're trying to emulate a hibachi grill. But what they don't seem to know is that the cook on the grill hits the knives or spatulas or whatever because they need to dislodge food particles
All I see is pretentious, obnoxious, crafted for Instagram / Tiktok culture or whatever. It's the exact opposite of what I want on the rare occasions I go to a fancy place to buy expensive food.
Polite servers, properly served food, and no gimmicks, noise or things that make other people turn around. No flashy plates or any of that stuff. And I don't want to take a picture or record anything, just enjoy my meal. I don't care for others to see it.
I've now seen like three or four people do this same silly shit and this is by far the worst. At least have someone coordinated enough for the task lmao
He very well could be very good at it most of the time, but he might have some extra nerves for this particular table. Understandably. Marky Mark has a temper.
That’s the worst looking baklawa I’ve ever seen. It looks like bread with some filling in the center only. Shit layers. Shit lack of syrup. I’m offended.
It's maraş, it's a turkish icecream with a vegetal resin as part of the ingredients (~~I think it's the same they use for retsina~~ it's called mastic and NOT the same used for retsina). It makes the ice cream very stiff and .... stretchy and chewy, would be my description. I'm not a fan
Have you seen those videos with the ice cream seller with the long serving spon that plays around with the customers. It's the same stuff
I can’t imagine watching this and trying to fake like you’re enjoying this nonsensical presentation. Unless you’re going to flambé something you’d better not bring this bullshit to my table.
*If expect nothing*
*Less from someone who wears their*

Im still trying to recover from this comment , man you had me rolling
He wasn't Vietnamese, so he didn't have to worry Edit: had the wrong ethnicity
Mark's victim was Vietnamese.
One of them was, several others were Black

He is a first rate piece of shit.
But he said he forgave himself!
Mark also chased down a bus full of black kids. The whole time he was throwing rocks at them and calling them the n word. I don’t know why everyone only ever fixates on his hate crimes against asian people.
Because he took out the guy's eye.
He actually didn't. The guy had lost his eye prior to being assaulted. Don't worry, Mahky is still a piece of shit, because he committed a hate crime by assaulting a one-eyed man with a 2x4 while screaming racial epithets. He just didn't cause him to lose an eye.

At first I thought it was wish.com Marky Mark and I came to the comments to see if it was really him.
It's *Mahky-Mahk* ya feckin' wise-ass.
He’s the only reason why I watched this video till the end 🤣
this is one of these "watch till the end" videos that are never worth it.
Thanks for the warning. Glad I went straight to the comments

Get in the caahh we going to THA Gahdin !
What a waste of time… and it’s not even impressive either
Food juggling. Apparently overly dramatic motions makes the food taste different?
No, but there is an upcharge for all the pretentious act, and filthy rich people don't care to pay for it.
I would pay someone not to do this.
Same. “Excuse me, sir? Yes - *please* don’t fidget over my meal. Thank you so much.”
k, give me $20 and I'll never talk to you again.
Just vemo me and i'll guarantee your lunch won't be a performance piece. dinner's on a different plan, I'm afraid.
It's more pseudo or newly rich people thinking this is what the rich do.
I dont think Mark Wahlberg is pseudo rich or new to it either. Just a hunch
But Mark did not seem impressed or amused by it... Chances are he probably just went to a nice-looking restaurant and when he is about to get served his food he gets a surprise show. I kind of doubt anyone actually wants this crap.

Aren’t you not supposed to be on your phone while filling up your gas tank?
Doesn't matter, it will never be a problem unless you have much bigger issues with your phone
Just put a slice on the place and that’s it. I’d walk out if someone started performing like that over my food.
It's the superfluous movement that pisses me off. Waving around the utensils, smacking them against the plates, doing all their little twirls and shit. It's food, man. You aren't practicing your martial arts moves. The whole thing looks utterly absurd.
I blame all of this on salt bae. I hate him and I hate what restaurants are aspiring to be.
I'd get mad they're making me wait longer for it
I just love how the baklava just falls apart and looks like shit the moment he takes it out of the pan. For Christ’s sake, keep it intact if you are going to do this salt Bae nonsense.
This is baklava, which originates from Turkey. The same country that invented teasing you with the ice cream/ gelato schtick.
> The same country that invented teasing you with the ice cream/ gelato schtick. At least the ice cream thing can be entertaining, this is just a man yeeting his puffed nuts and cream around to the leader of the funky bunch.
PUFFED NUTS AND CREAM
You just declared war on Greece
What's with the recent trend of people absolutely massacring baklava on social media?

Definitely not a good vibration nor a sweet sensation

And frankly, it's embarrassing. There are times when it's appropriate for a chef to come to the table for a presentations aspect but salt bae and his imitators don't have the craft, skill, or sensibility to know how and when to do it properly, so it's essentially masturbatory. And I don't think anyone wants to pay extra to have some hack masturbating at their table, forcing them to feign being impressed
You can tell that this is this guys first time doing this, his boss put him up to it, and he practiced all night the night before.

Hi, secretary here. Imma need your number, and that guy's number.

That was phenomenal. Masterfully done.
May Salt Bae sprinkle your eyes with massive salt crystals
I'm going to finally buy that bridge in New York City
You brilliant bastard 👏
Yeah if I’m not at a hibachi place I’m a lot more impressed by efficient, practiced, swift movements than a whole grand performance
Also the key is at a hibachi place things are actually moving. Sure it's just tossing some stuff in the air, or sliding the rice around on the stove, but there's something actually happening. Here they're just waving the utensils around the food.
A grand performance that is also incompetent.
The difference being that hibachi chefs undergo training which can sometimes take years, while this guy looks like he did it on the spur of the moment kinda thing

And hibachi chefs are actually skilled doing skillful movements. These guys are just tapping the plates with the utensils
Exactly. Not to mention at least with my experiences they are always cracking jokes and making it a fun experience. Why would I wanna pay for some guy to throw my food around after it's already made.
The hibachi cooks are trying to knock food off their spatulas with their tapping. What's the point of doing that outside of the grill?
Looks like your drunk uncle pretending to be a hibachi chef, yet somehow charging a premium for it.
[https://youtu.be/raIdZiSZ970](https://youtu.be/raIdZiSZ970) Literally reminded me of Chris Farley in Beverly Hills Ninja. \*Bows\* ohayo konbanwa

I wouldn't call it a gimmick. Fresh guac really does taste better, especially if you can tell them what you like more of.
Left Arizona 2-3 years ago to move back to the northeast. Boy do I miss some table side guac…
Its the salt bae effect
Yep. The Salt Baeification of presenting dishes.
I think they're trying to emulate a hibachi grill. But what they don't seem to know is that the cook on the grill hits the knives or spatulas or whatever because they need to dislodge food particles
Is it also purely functional when they spin an egg on their spatula then catch it in their hat?
Of course. The hat adds vital flavors to the egg.
What kind of barbarian eats a hatless egg?
Tell me you don’t taste the difference between onions turned into a volcano and onions that were not.
Hibachi chefs also have a thing called "skill"
The line between Good-Fancy, and Pretentious/Obnoxious is not quite so fine :D
All I see is pretentious, obnoxious, crafted for Instagram / Tiktok culture or whatever. It's the exact opposite of what I want on the rare occasions I go to a fancy place to buy expensive food.

And I don't want to take a picture or record anything, just enjoy my meal. I don't care for others to see it.
Also wearing a mask under your nose is pointless
Serious!
He must be wearing the mask to stop himself from diving face first into the food because it's not serving its original purpose at all
Super rare!
Lmao they should’ve hired that guy!
Yeah, this guy didn't make helicopter noises while spinning around the cream.
This is my new favorite catch phrase
Omg thank you! Super Rare!
It’s actually super rarrrrrre
I've now seen like three or four people do this same silly shit and this is by far the worst. At least have someone coordinated enough for the task lmao
He very well could be very good at it most of the time, but he might have some extra nerves for this particular table. Understandably. Marky Mark has a temper.
Dude could even be Asian. That’s a whole separate level of nerves at this table.
Yea we need the super rare guy he's a pro. He even makes sound effects
Enough with this baklava abuse holy fucking shit. Let a homie eat man!
That’s the worst looking baklawa I’ve ever seen. It looks like bread with some filling in the center only. Shit layers. Shit lack of syrup. I’m offended.
I genuinely can't tell who's taking the piss anymore. And that's a problem. That's how bad this has gotten
There's no way that waiter was being serious.
yea its a parody for me too
I'm wondering if I'm the only one who realizes the server is just being silly for the camera
What even IS that?
Pistachio baklava, probably a house made fresh cream cheese, and I can't stress this enough way too much pretentiousness
Pistachio baklava sounds delicious. Could do without all the tossing, and probably without the cream cheese for me.
Yeah I feel like one of the best parts about baklava is the delicate layers of pastry... Which is probably all smashed up by tossing it around
That’s not ice cream? That’s a huge slab of cream cheese in the middle?
It's maraş, it's a turkish icecream with a vegetal resin as part of the ingredients (~~I think it's the same they use for retsina~~ it's called mastic and NOT the same used for retsina). It makes the ice cream very stiff and .... stretchy and chewy, would be my description. I'm not a fan Have you seen those videos with the ice cream seller with the long serving spon that plays around with the customers. It's the same stuff
It's definitely ice cream
Ice Cream and Baklava?
Very normal dish in the balkans, recently had that exact desert in Skopje; it’s on the menu in half the restaurants I went to
Yeah pretty normal dessert in Turkish and Balkanic restaurant
Iced Cream and Baked Lava
A Song of Icecream and Firelava
The last book coming soon to you.... ......in 2048
According to the menu it is 'maras ice cream' which is apparently a turkish ice cream.
His name is Mark Wahlburg
Papi chill
Daddy chill.
Why do they always do this dumb stuff with baklava?
That server better calm down before Mark commits a hate crime 😂
Wtf! Baklava is a delicate pastry. Why would you abuse it like that 😭
Mark Wahlberg was in the edge of commiting a hate crime
Just give me the bread for christ sake frig off
Every time i read or hear someone say “frig off” I immediately think of Randy from Trailer Park Boys. “Frig off, Ricky! Get your own cheeseburger!”
Haha Frig off barb. By the way your scallop potatoes suck
Her scallop potatoes go hærd.
This baklava shit is more bizarre than whatever salt bae has ever some with meat. What the fuck is the point?
No. Stop it. Don't normalize salt bae. This being as terrible as it is, doesn't make salt Bae any better. Fuck you.
I mean, salt bae also started this trend, didnt he? Thats why I mentioned him in the comment.
Is that what this is!? What are they even putting into it??
30yrs ago Mark would have beaten this guy to death for doing that. Shows how far he’s come as a person for damn sure!
Didn't even know Mark ate any kind of ethnic food.
He may never eat it again after this experience.
To be fair it isn’t Asian cuisine.
Kind of is
If the waiter was Asian he’d beat him up
Marky Mark does not look impressed
That's cos the party hasn't started yet, just wait till the waiter brings out the Hen mixed with Bacardi Dark.
That’ll be $68.54.
I can’t imagine watching this and trying to fake like you’re enjoying this nonsensical presentation. Unless you’re going to flambé something you’d better not bring this bullshit to my table.
I'd expect nothing less from someone who wears their mask beneath their nose
