Marco has trained famous chefs including Shannon Bennett and Gordon Ramsay. After coming to London age 16 with "£7.36, a box of books and a bag of clothes", Marco’s restaurant Harvey’s earned its first Michelin star almost immediately.
    ABOUT THE CAMBRIDGE UNION: From its small beginnings as a debating society, the Cambridge Union is the oldest debating society in the world and the largest student society in Cambridge. The Union remains a unique forum for the free exchange of ideas and the art of public debate.

      Yes, you're quite right. It's also gratifying to see that he doesn't resort to peppering his conversations with fillers like "yer know" and...er..."like", etc. Most curiously he has difficulty in reading and writing, most likely due to dyslexia. He possesses a raw intelligence but is otherwise semi-educated due to his less than stellar socio-economic situation early in life.

    All the while inspiring people in his own method and way of doing things.

      I think he was disappointed by some of the tone deaf questions. I suppose they were fair, but they were preceded by Marco's lesson on why pretentious food isn't important. He doesn't give a shit about anything except following his TRUE passion. Question why we do things, not just the results we want. These folks mostly missed that.
