Nusret G\u00f6k\u00e7e, born in 1983 in Pa\u015fal\u0131, Erzurum Province, Turkey, comes from a Kurdish family. He grew up with four siblings, and his father, Faik, worked as a mineworker. Due to financial constraints, G\u00f6k\u00e7e had to leave school in the sixth grade. Following this, he embarked on an apprenticeship as a butcher in the Kad\u0131k\u00f6y district of Istanbul.<\/p>\n
In terms of his career in the restaurant industry, from 2007 to 2010, G\u00f6k\u00e7e travelled to various countries and worked at local restaurants without pay. This was a deliberate effort to amass experience as both a chef and a future restaurateur. Upon his return to Turkey, G\u00f6k\u00e7e inaugurated his initial restaurant in Istanbul in 2010. Four years later, he established a restaurant in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. His business further expanded, largely propelled by his viral fame in 2017, leading him to launch a series of upscale steakhouses under the brand Nusr-Et. The name of the restaurant cleverly incorporates a play on his first name, with \u201cEt\u201d translating to \u201cmeat\u201d in Turkish. G\u00f6k\u00e7e went on to establish restaurant branches in Greece, the United States, and the United Kingdom, as well as in several Middle Eastern countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
