Thing I love about Marco, he won 3 stars, became world renowned, then eventually was like fuck it I ain’t cooking this fancy shit anymore I’m gonna go and cook bangers and mash for normal people
Hilarious comment! 😂😂 but I love the competitiveness of that industry! I’m in no way associated with it but it’s fascinating!! Watch a movie called ‘Burnt’ with Bradley Cooper! Great watch but really shows the competitiveness! 😆
As they should do, this kitchen seems to much smaller than others probably because of expenses, but the head chef or chef patron (Head chef and owner) would normally be at the pass for the whole of service but they don't seem to have one.
marco and ramsay actually inspired me to work harder at my own job, not food related. but that mindset of go go go perfection, is great to follow. no matter how much your getting paid, or what the job is, there's no point in slugging around, doing a half ass job. And if you know your worth more, youl find yourself moving up.
@@ChrisM541 Majority of people in my country are too lazy and needs to be told everything step by step how to do, once you gone they forget how to do things, I am always wondering how some countries have people that work like clockwork, I was in Germany & in France, people did their job so well, street cleaners, restaurant servants, everywhere I went saw people that did their job well, in my country you will rarely see someone doing their job well
I’m glad someone has commented within the last 5 years! It’s great seeing a young Marco, and Ramsay, with that do or die attitude to cooking. Marco is right though, if your clientele pay top dollar for quality food, anything less than perfection is unacceptable.
I worked at an authentic Japanese kitchen in a small town in America. We had people coming from big cities farther away just to eat at our spot. Every day was like a mental war zone just to be in the right frame of mind to give exceptional service, and it paid off. At the end the cooks would make dinner or lunch depending on your shift and we all ate and joked after yelling at each other and wanting to kill each other the whole day just due to the stress. But we all worked hard, got paid well, and carried the memories since then.
I love how he feeds the chef with his knife at the beginning of this clip.. there's something lovely about that. Marco strikes me as someone who is incredibly proud of what he cooks and sincerely wants to please people with food.
@@ToniBoordane I was thinking that lol even the way he salted in previous video, it’s basically salt bae but without the salt hitting a sweaty hairy arm involved lmao
@@shoazdon7000 omg don’t 🙈. The salt hitting that arm is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. So funny how people are sheep. And like to go there for the gimmick. I Rd hat disgusting. But good luck to the guy making fortunes from stupid people
+SilhouetteJudas I don't know how scary he is, but rather he's like a father to the young cooks and so when he's disappointed it probably hurts far more than if Gordan Ramsay when he's angry.
"Albert roux...my mentor.......our mentor" Marco was far to real for television tbh....One of the Greats and a delight to look back on all the grind and hard work put into being the best...
Just watching Gordon work is amazing.. I can see why he is the powerhouse he is today..His moves have no pause,he literally has an unstoppable flow.. He truly deserves his place on top.
Marco once dipped his hand into hot oil, grabbed an onion then ate it, "It's getting to be hot" with no facial expression. Whatever he touched that made him flinch in pain was hotter than the sun.
@@prto3 You call Ramsay a legend? You pathetically substandard slob. Having three Michelin stars doesn't make you a legend. It's the way you present yourself, that does. Chefs, like Marco, the Roux's, Koffman, and Raymond Blanc, are legends because they are class acts, who know how to inspire through their golden personalities.
@Chris Cassata Hey, jackass loser. Michelin stars are awarded by pretentious slobs with inferior knowledge and expertise, when compared to those they're judging. Gordon's garbage personality is enough to turn anybody away. You're just a tasteless, worthless idiot.
I find it amusing you think it would be hot based on the number of people inside and not the ovens and gas burners on everywhere. But yes a pro kitchen is very hot.
The size of kitchen was actually what drove Marco out of Harvey's. He resigned because he felt like he'd never be able to get a 3rd star at the kitchen as he was unable to keep the high standards and perform many cooking techniques there because of the size limitations.
"The ability to 'work well with others' is a must. If you're a sauté man, your grill man is your dance partner, and chances are, you're spending the majority of your time working in a hot, uncomfortably confined, submarine-like space with him. You're both working around open flame, boiling liquids with plenty of blunt objects at close hand-and you both carry knives, lots of knives. So you had better get along. It will not do to have two heavily armed cooks duking it out behind the line over some perceived insult when there are vats of boiling grease and razor-sharp cutlery all around." Anthony Bourdain.
The dishware is the same as Gordon's that he used for his first restaurant in the Boiling Point series. I wonder if Marco lent him the dishware until he could afford his own...so sweet 😳😳😳
Gordon talks in his shows just like Marco does here in his kitchen. You can tell where Gordon learnt those little sayings he has. He's basically copied Marco and taken it mainstream, Bet he idolised him around this time.
@@jamiewent9223 There is a huge difference between a 'TV chef' and a Chef who worked for 15+ years from the bottom to working in top restaurants in France to being a head Chef of his own restaurant earning it 3 michelin stars... and THEN going on to make popular TV shows where he demonstrates the level he works at. Even in Hells Kitchen he has a cast of Head Chefs competing and finds most of them are not even close to the level of being a Fine Dining Chef. He has far more credibility than being labelled a 'TV Chef'.
@@ChrisMisc1 has Gordon ever had 3 Michelin stars... Never... Gordon is just a celebrity chef on dramatic shows like hells kitchen and hell hotel... He is marketing marco's shouting leadership style...Marco realised the ultimate dream of having 3 Michelin stars with 5 red forks and knives, he gave it all away and retired then to pursue his labour of love and passion by farming, watching animals and hunting them... Watching their stories and their journey from the farm, woods and rivers to the plate... Gordon is just a celebrity chef going to shitty late night shows doing stupid stuff with fallon... That's not greatness, that's not cooking, that's not art,... I hope he becomes more like the ramsay on this video and achieves greatness just like Marco
Just the sound of Marco's voice tells you so much. He sounds so run-down and exhausted from the pressure and dedication it takes to be the best. Nothing in life worth earning comes without sacrifice.
I’ve got this feeling deep down that when you see Marco getting stressed during a service, it’s just a facade, just a character for the romance of it all. In reality I feel that he’s such a natural, he just feels that’s the character of a chef and he likes the fun of playing that part.
An interesting point. Though as a chef myself I’m the opposite. Deep down I believe i understand the phenomenon of his temper. I think you’re right in the sense of him deep down being neutral though his stress is very real and ive seen it countless times with my coworkers and myself. The stress of the awaiting customer is nearly unrivalled by anything ive ever felt
Every moment I see Marco Pierre White in these episode talking, cooking,... etc, I feel like some spices have been added in my soul. MPW "the badboy of the kitchen" inspires me in his every move
The chefs in that kitchen, it’s not just Ramsey, there’s a young Stephen Terry in there also. The chefs who passed through that kitchen are just a role call of 90s greats
A small space such as that kitchen with lots of bodies and all that heat and pressure it's not surprising people lose their tempers. Marco is a brilliant chef 💯%
I love seeing Ramsay so young and completely looked over in this vid by the producers as if he is just another ant worker. Who would have thought that he would become a great chef and a world class empire?!
@@acthoundentertainment Considering he's a chef who's cooked 28 fucking years, I think he might know a thing or two. Jesus, everyone is always lie, 'well, that doesn't mean anything.' And expect that to make sense, like, well, fine, doesn't defeat the initial point of the line which was, he's a great chef.
Can't thank you enough for uploading these! It's fascinating to watch someone driven by nothing but absolute passion for his craft at work. It's funny because I've not seen anything in recent times remotely close to this. MPW was obsessed with the art
I worked with him at Harvey's...always the boss..no one greater...Great to see Steven Terry again...fantastic chef...Gordon still owes me £5.00...tight Scottish git!
No way! I worked at Harvey's back in the day. Steven Terry is hilarious. What a great guy. Sometimes after work, we would walk home holding hands smoking weed. I can't believe Gordon hasn't paid you back, he did the same for me, but it was £30.00 that he used for petrol when driving me home on his scooter.
@@kubabooba548 Yeah good times...I once told Gordon how they make Copper wire...drop a penny between two Scotsman!! Marco was a beast ...but what a chef!
The one thing about marco you can see his dedication to his work and that people around him respect him , however he demonstrates perfection and takes the time to show his staff what is right
That's the reason why you have to pay more in his restaurant or any other Michelin starred places, the amount of staff working there. You can see Ramsay even those days when he is not famous yet, can tell that he's got ambition and the passion just looking at his moves.
Seeing just a glimpse of chef ramsay on his come up is fucking inspiration. You could see how hard he’s worked to have the respect and success he has now.
God... Ramsey really nicked everything from Marco. Check 4:25 where Marco uses his finger to call someone. This Is a Ramsey signature now. When on his own restaurants he was doing the same dishes and eve using the same cutlery and dishes. Ramsey recently confesses he was so jealous of Marco that he went in Harvey's and stole the booking book.
I can’t find the original comment but someone made a very good point. Look at the way Gordon works, always moving, always doing something, always looking for something to do, its impressive. It’s easy to see how he rose through the ranks in that industry. Even watching him cook in his own home he still cooks as if he’s on a line. It’s amazing.
This is why on his show Hells Kitchen he always yells at one of the cook for not doing anything as he says there's always something to do, help your team mates, ask questions stop staring like an idiot! LOL
I love watching these episodes of Marco cooking. It must have been an exciting time for him. I know even at this point he was a master chef- but boy, his entire vocabulary consists of “nice” and “nicely.” Once you hear it, you’ll hear it in almost every sentence. 🤣
Steven Terry gets away lightly here! I watch the team working during this video and it does nothing but inspire me. No one has ever come close to Marco. Pure passion!
+sketchy wah Gordon inherited Marco's passion. If you watch the UK version of kitchen nightmares, you can see Gordon is pretty damn passionate about his job.
Me Watching Jeremy Clarkson, Hammond and James May: "How the hell did UK conquer the world with people like them?" Me Watching Marco White: "I see it now"
i love the way it transitions from 2:30 calling albert roux the boss and then into the chefs grafting in the kitchen with that 80s music, that was badass
If I were Gordon's kid and I saw this I would be so touched and cry. I mean, look at the dedication of their father. I think, any kid of any of the chefs there would be immensely proud of their dads.
Love to sit in there with marco in the 80s. With the boys, the sas group of the food world, getting stuck into something special. Bet those days were exciting! The excitement would spurn on the energy and so forth. I think what marco really wanted was passion something he excelled in it seems. Also a night out in China Town with the crew would've been fun. Love the sense of humour alongside the general banter. Reckon his insults and customer banishing would've given things an extra twist. But was only 7 in 89. Harveys was definitely a English phenomenon. Nostalgia nostalgia nostalgic
