There’s something oddly poetic about the stereotypical rebel in Marco training up an apprentice who goes on to become the ultimate product of the system in Gordon

10:00 "most chefs never get to see a single one" *pans to Jamie Oliver* XD that was beautiful

I mean the man made millions, gave back his stars, opened up a hotel in the country side, still hunting and fishing. If that’s not a happy life I don’t know what is.

9:37 Never thought id see a professional chef smoking 2 cigarettes while handling a rifle

They're both legends, just for different reasons. It was Gordon's choice to become more of a media personality than chef. Marco's mother was Italian.

Marco had always wanted his chefs to surpass him, and that's why he acted the way he did. And when Gordon was asked about it, he said this about Marco: "..because he drummed it in. If you want to do it, then you gotta do it to your best. If you can't do it to your best, then get the fuck out of here. Don't waste my time, and certainly don't waste yours". It's clear how much he respected the Great White, and I'm glad that they've buried the hatchet

“No, I didn’t make Gordon Ramsay cry. He made himself cry. That was his choice to cry”. Savage

I like Marcos presence and humbleness, when I’ve watched him in shows he doesn’t play up to the cameras cause he probably doesn’t care what people think of him. All that matters is the cooking and I can really appreciate the honesty of it all. Gordon’s shows are fine, he’s got the charisma but it can be a bit over the top and repetitive. But you can definitely see who Gordon has modelled himself around.

After Gordon's bike accident. I feel sorry for who going to serve him hospital food.

I still remember that Boiling Point episode, Gordon was clearly gutted not to beat Marco's record of the 'youngest person to receive 3 Michelin stars'. That was then, this is now. I doubt Gordon thinks about it much anymore. Hes a multi-millionaire, TV star and the most famous chef in the world.

Gordon Ramsay would make the greatest meal you've ever eaten with 100 techniques to perfectly flavour the dish. Marco will make something very simple, that is done with such finesse that it will always hit the spot. Just compare how they make scrambled eggs.

Their relationship can be chalked up to the sith rule of two

That Intro with Marcus knife skills went hard.

You can definitely tell that both Marco and Gordon were brash and egotystical back then. You had to be if you wanted to make it in this industry. So the two of them having a falling out seems almost like an inevitability. You can certainly feel how age has whethered the two of them in different ways. Marco is now much more calm and at ease compared to his younger days. And Gordon's passion and ambition has been tempered into a more nurtured love and humility to the craft.

getting paid now my man! keep up the great work

That's crazy. I had no idea they hated each other this much.

I’d say marco is your favourite chefs favourite chef, he’s the embodiment of what it means to be a chef, or so I was told by my older brother who’s a sous chef lol

To be honest seeing how Gordon was playing the media constantly in Boiling point and how he said he faked the stolen book to blame Marco, he probably did bring the media to Marco's wedding just to further himself and to screw over Marco. At least Marco seems to have some integrity.

What's crazy is there is only a 5 year difference in age between Gordon and his mentor.

Honestly, very interesting cover on this topic. I was always curious as to what had happened between the two and this just sums it up completely. Crazy hearing about the Gordon Ramsay taking the book. Absolutely wild.

I work for a catering company, and one time we got hired to work production for an episode of Hell’s Kitchen. so while the chefs were all cooking on the show and trying to demonstrate how talented they were, I was backstage preparing all the food for the crew and for the on-air chefs to eat in between filming. It was terrifying!!!

The editing on this is 10/10!

10:11 Jamie Oliver catching strays lol

Was so fun to make a video about these two legends of the culinary world! I know I haven't uploaded in a while, so appreciate all of you always sticking around for uploads! I have so much content coming over the next couple of months, so strap in lads!

4:35 Well, he's not wrong there.

Marco piere white is the emperor palpatine of cooking and gordon is darth vader

the editing is amazing in this video

one other reason he returned the Michelin stars is because he knows people will still regard him as a Michelin class chef, with or without the star, because it had already happened, so he doesn't actually lose the stars.

Been waiting for a new one

"I didn't make Gordon cry. He chose to cry."

That edit with Marco chopping hits hard asf

Was just watching when he hosted kitchen nightmares the other day so seeing this upload is perfect timing, thank you

good work as usual bro

They just went fishing together

Rebel chef mentors an equally rebellious newbie chef and is Pikachu shocked face when protégé rebels against him...

Your content is fresh, keep it going!

Marco is literally Gordon's Sith Lord. They even treat each other like they're following the rule of 2 😂

I think I remember looking for exactly this months ago, so it's nice to see it

I really hope they make a movie of this story

Kinda insane how Marco walked in one of the most famous restaurants as 17y old and told them "hire me" and they did. If you tried something like that today you would be kicked out. How the times changed.

Can’t skip a phat memer video

This is the real beef of our lifetime

I worked in kitchens from a kitchen porter at 17 all the way up to a sous chef at 22. Was an apprentice under a TV chef called Hugh Fearnley Whittingsall, the chef who ran river cottage. Cooking is a passion, you have to love and treat every dish as if you’re serving it to a king. Kitchens are such a cut throat place. If you’re getting weeded with 150-200 people to feed in a 3 hour evening service on a Saturday night. Abuse, stress and burnout are extremely common, especially when working in a high pressure environment. I’ve missed family events, birthdays, almost missed a family funeral, holidays, weekends and evenings. Was working 14 hours days 5 days in a row, when the head chef walked out, was me a 19 year old sous chef and the manager trying to keep the rota, bar and food orders in tact. Still love cooking, and I have nothing but respect for anyone who works in catering from the Kitchen Porters, Commis Chefs, Chef du Partie, Sous chefs, Head chefs, executive chefs and all the front of house staff. They do an amazing job!

I think Gordon is just torn between revenge for the abuse Marco subjected him to or be grateful for he became world’s most known chef partially due to Marco. Personally, I’m not a forgiving person, so I kind of understand Gordon better but you may argue otherwise

Ngl, if you work in the industry you know you can essentially pay to keep a star and that a Michelin star is pretty pretentious and mildly racist in what their standards for what belongs on a Michelin menu is. Its an outdated model so i respect the hand back

I’ve been to one of Marcos restaurants and it was unironically bad

These two are the best frenemies there are.

That reservation book stuff is coooold

I still refuse to believe that these chefs work so hard to win a award from a tire company. The whole thing is just too silly.

keep it up!

I think some of the greatest minds and greatest artists who have spent their lives dedicated to the art over life are doomed to suffer the reprocussions. Marco dedicated his life to cooking. Gordon found the balance and optimized it for his benefit. I think there will always be a difference between a Senna and Hamilton, a Kobe. and Lebron or a Messi and Ronaldo, each great in their own respect, but the latter of each just made sure to squeeze every bit of allowance possible to get the most of the opportunity....And you cant blame them for it. Sometimes you give everything to the art and there's little left to give to everything else. Sometimes you recognize you have come close to mastering the art but you need to take care of everything outside the art. Marco is one of the greatest, I think he gave everything he had to cooking and life faded by because that was the most important thing to him. Gordon understood that cooking was everything, but he reached a point where it wasn't anymore. He wanted to built a brand and optimize the opportunity he had been given to ensure him and his family for generations were set. Some purists like Marco might have an issue with that, but its not better, nor worse. Just a different path. I will always respect a great artist, athlete or individual who gives everything to their craft. But I don't hold it against those who take their opportunity to set themselves and their families up for generations to come.

GORDON is a G and MARCO IS TOO. They are the Sith of chefs. And Gordon definitely slayed his master and became superior. Marco is a shadow now, and still the greatest in modern history. He groomed Gordon to succeed him. His anger towards him and silence was in fact a sign of respect

banger video this

Never seen a michelin star, and jamies face pops up bros cookin'

When you hear Marco say " I didn't make Gordon Ramsay cry, he chose to cry" it all makes sense

The chopping intro was hard

Isn't this what almost always happens when following the rule of two? I am looking at you, Darth Sidious!

FYI Gordon and Marco buried the knife a few years ago and speak regularly. They are both a both dramatic

That chopping intro mix slapped

There is a saying in my home country: Two Swords can never be put in a single Scabbard.

Marco looks like the main character of the Bear. I guess he's the inspiration.

I know more about this situation as I am friends with the son of one of the owners of the aubergine ( when it was open) Ramsay was a real bastard here, that doesn’t mean he isn’t talented just that greed and ego tend to allow him to do immoral things.

Its Rawwwwwwww

Marco Pierre White is an Artist of the kitchen, Gordon is a gastronomer

The whiplash of cooking

Most people would do what Gordon's done He's set his family up for generations. He just sounds like a really stubborn guy

Gordon never surpassed Marco, He just became more popular

Ramsey has sold himself out past few years. He hated anything frozen and ridiculed people who cooked frozen ingredients, now he has a line of frozen ready meals that are really terrible. He used to be hard headed, harsh but honest. Now he is overly nice and compliments bad food. He used to be naturally funny through his anger, now he is trying so hard to be funny. I love Gordon still, but it’s disappointing to see him sell himself out like this. Edit: and he’s cheated on his wife numerous times

A person with integrity vs a sell out

The algorithm has timed this well.

"Decorated Chef" They make your dinner, make it sound as though they rowed the atlantic single handedly or despatched an entire enemy army with nothing but a catapult. Get a grip ffs.

0:50 best picture ever One shouts and berates “Donkey!” The other Just looks at you 👁️ 👁️ 👃 👄 “Be very careful” “Nature is the true artist”

HOT DAMN WAS THAT FUCKING INTRO NASTY BRO 🎉🎉🤯🤯😎😎😎👍

i cant unsee TOM HARDY resemblance wit MARCO

“Not all good footballers make good managers, not all good chefs make good restauran(hawk)tuah”

"He move to London to train in french cuisine" LOL

Wicked Wiz! Is that you

When you are under a master, you should expect to have your talent strengthened. Being placed in the fire and under stress, you become stronger. It's just apart of the growing process.

9:37 Why is MPW picking up a sniper rifle while smoking two cigarettes? Where the hell is that clip from?

Where's the lamb sauce ?

There’s a movie in here somewhere.

Young Marco looks like dude from “the bear” show

I'm baffled of the scarcity of comments mentioning Marco using knorr cubes LMAO

How do you work 18 hours a day, and remain sane? That is resilience.

Maybe these two need a seat down with phat memer and cal the dragon that will restore there relationship 😂

Seen Jamie Oliver under a bus there 😂

You do have to admit Marco did have the starts when they actually were hard to obtain

man is strikingly handsome.

Another banger from English SonnyV2. Are you going to sell out like Gordon and beat your 'mentor'?

I remember crying quotes.

Gordon stealing his own boom was so good 😂

Gordon Ramsey is a true Alpha chef! But Marco Pierre is a Sigma chef! I don’t know how else to put it.

You can clearly hear where Gordon went to, to learn.

Who betrays who, why do we care. Gordon's TV shows amused me, Marco's skill and passion impressed me, and that's all. I don't give a shit about the drama, and to be honest, these two men are far more honest than most other celebrities and other public figures.

Funny how we make chefs into national heros. long before white and ramsey, the usa had jacques pepin, pierre franey, julia child, james beard, chef tell ....but i still remember the galloping gormet...

God Marco was so gorgeous back in the day

Gordon's dad was supposedly abusive, Marco too. If you watch Gordon's first appearance on tv in the UK documentary about his restaurant, Boiling Point, you can see how it rubbed off. The rudest chef on tv was how he was covered in the media. Without the music in comparison to his later tv shows it's definitely more serious in tone. Harsh language however can be very common in the business, and after the more contrived later shows he has clearly mellowed out

Gordon seems like a media personality over a chef. I’d much rather have Marco cook for me then a social media influencer.

At the end of the day gordon chose to cry
