Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper recently went to Salt Bae’s restaurant in an effort to check out what all the hype is about.
One of the signature elements of Salt Bae’s establishment is that he cuts up pieces of steak and then slowly places them in the mouths of certain customers.
This practice was on full display last week, when a male patron watched in shock and horror as his special lady friend seductively accepted Salt Bae’s meat.

It was the eye contact in that particular incident that really caught people’s attention.

To be clear, though – Salt Bae treats male and female patrons equally. Here is him feeding UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

So how did Cooper handle it when it was his turn to eat the meat?

When you’re paying $1,000 for a gold-covered steak, one would assume you’d want the whole experience a la McGregor. Then again, McGregor is the type of guy who’d wear this explicit million dollar watch, while Cooper is more low key with his business — so maybe their different approaches to dealing with Salt Bae were to be expected.
