A delegation of communist officials sent to the COP26 global warming conference in the U.K. is under fire after they were caught dining at Nusret Gokce’s — better known as the Salt Bae, restaurant in London on his signature gold leaf steak:
Vietnam’s Minister of Public Security made a pilgrimage to Karl Marx's grave on his trip to London, and then went to Salt Bae's restaurant for the gold leaf steak. https://t.co/GRk9docv2M

Apparently, Gokce shared a video of him serving the steak to the commies and it went viral:
Bộ trưởng Bộ Công an Việt Nam Tô Lâm được Salt Bae chế biến và đút cho ăn món bò dát vàng trị giá lên đến 45 triệu đồng/phần trong một nhà hàng của ông này ở Luân Đôn. Cùng bàn với ông Tô Lâm là Chánh văn phòng Bộ Công an Tô Ân Xô. pic.twitter.com/hGZZqGbJZr

Meanwhile, in Vietnam, the people are facing “severe food shortages and worsening poverty rates” thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic:

Going to the monument to Karl Marx first is, as the meme goes, the chef’s kiss on all this:
"Given Salt Bae's reputation for extravagance … the cost likely ran into the thousands. The minister's official wage is $600 to $800 a month."

But this is what commies have been doing since its inception, so, “very on brand”:
