It's water under the bridge now according to Marcus. Gordon sent him a book earlier this year about the Gordon Ramsay Restaraunt and where Marcus worked after Aubergine and wrote him a fabulous note inside, that's from a Marcus interview earlier this year
I'm really starting to believe that due to Gordon being basically a TV host now that people are starting to forget just how much a of a legendary chef he is.
So do his kitchens. I would never eat at a Ramsay restaurant today, if I spent that money, I go to the real deals, the 3* chefs who live for their restaurants, not their TV career. This is not negative judgement on Ramsay btw, I am a fan, but unless he started cooking again proper, I would 10/10 choose restaurants like Alinea, Celer de Can Roca, the Mazure and others first.
@@UAPReportingCenter I dont doubt it. But I still wouldnt go, because it aint Gordon cooking your steak. The same with all those Bocuse and Jamie Oliver Restaurants, etc... It is a franchise at this point, not a genuine effort of a chef to continue evolving a menu. Just look at the Google reviews, where Ramsay's Pub and Grill, ends up at a not great 4.1, and Ramsay steak (I assume you were there) also at a not great 4.2. I personally would prefer trying a local chef, over that. Say if someone said, you can pick between a 500 buck dinner at Ramsay's or at Alinea, 10/10 I would pick Alinea, etc.
I went to London as a callow youth of 17, I'm the same age as Gordon Ramsay and we worked at the Capitol Hotel together briefly. Marcus just gave the best summation of chef life I've ever heard. I turned up for work 6 days a week to get my head kicked in, I cried, I wrote myself off with booze etc sometimes but kept turning up because I knew wherever I had chosen to work was to learn, to improve myself and my skills. And that is exactly what happened,. I didn't become a super star but I will dance with anybody in a kitchen. It's a tough but incredible journey! Best part is I'm still learning, food is a gift which never stops giving.
This is my life, always turned up for my shift, sometimes still pissed ut never let my team down, i did 10 years in london and lost a lot out of work as it was so full on and came first. I'm now doing agency in the lake district and loving life
This kind of professionalism. Would you get away with it today?.. I never had that discipline in my life. But I understand this is what it takes to be the best at anything.. just not sure if you could get away with pushing people this hard in this day and age..

Respect to Marcus. He fell out with Gordon at one point when he needed to strike out on his own, but he is a real man here and has given credit to Ramsay for being the real deal. Gordon was top class when he was on the stoves, and Marcus is also a superb chef: I've had two really memorable top class meals in his restaurants over the years.

I discovered Gordon Ramsay through his cooking videos. It was years later I learned about his TV persona. People forget how good he is in his craft and what people he learned from and worked under. Honestly, if I would recommend a starting point for people to learn to cook now, I would recommend them his cookery course. It is amazing.
Same here. Back then I basically only ate cereals because I was too lazy to cook. Watching his videos and just taking in all the passion this man has for food, ingredients and cooking completely changed me. Now I love to cook and try new things, get excited to try new stuff and to learn about the dishes of other countries.
Gordon Ramsay blessed me once! I bumped into him at the Gold Coast Airport, and I sneezed at the same time so he blessed me! I was surprised by how tall and thin he was.
Gordon Ramsay is a devout protestant with very strong British beliefs . If he ''blessed'' you , which I highly doubt , then he was taking the mickey out of you . Gordon isn't catholic .
Markus Wareing is incredibly intelligent is my takeaway from this video. I admired him before I saw this video and now I have more admiration for him... determined, well-spoken, strong willed, intelligent, tactful, adaptive... all the best adjectives apply.
Imposter syndrome is so very real. Pretty much every promotion I’ve had in work I spent the first 6 months or so thinking, “I have no idea what I’m doing and it’s only a matter of time before people realise.” But you just gotta remind yourself that no one knows everything and you’re there by merit.
youve got to realize tho, people see more in you than you see in yourself thats why they've givien you a promotion or a positon. its because they know that you are capable of stepping up to "the plate" no pun attended . but once i realized that i had more confidence in myself
And I once heard an interview with him where he explained that he can be so tough on his staff because at the end of the day it’s his name on the door. If a sous chef messes up their job and a customer has a bad experience they don’t walk away saying “that sous chef sucks” they walk away saying “Gordon Ramsey sucks.” So if you’re going to be trading on his name you’re going to perform to his standards at minimum. And I feel like that is kind of fair
Hey I’m a construction site manager but I love this interview. It’s basics chain of command but the foundations need to be solid . There is no I in team. Perfection deserves reward financially and personal embellishment well done. Through being humbel we learn so much.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What strikes me about Gordon Ramsay is, he is completely adroit at every practical thing he does. He is a man who is totally ergonomic and is a master at thinking on his feet. Much respect!
nope, not in the literal, and also not in the proverbial sense. dont get me wrong, I am a huge Ramsay fan, but he was nowhere near Adrian Ferra, Marc Veyrat (the only one who can prove he was the best chef in the world by being the only one who achieved 20 points awarded by Gaut Millaut, which counts more than Michelin. Also Heston Blumenthal got 19.5, also above Ramsay, and was also the more innovative cook. But the real point is, it never is about who is "the best chef in the world", it is a preposterous assumption to award any one that title, because kitchen is and always was about an ever increasing level of diversity and skill paired together. These chefs are god-tier amazing, all of them, and they enrich our culture by being plenty, not by competing against each other. The Aubergine in London, means nothing business wise, means nothing to Bernard Loiseau in France, means nothing influence wise, etc... There are so many 3* star restaurants who cook on par or better than Ramsay did, at any given moment, which you do not even know. You praise Ramsay, because his fame puts him in the spotlight for you. But arguably in the kitchen, he had a peak and a steady downfall after that, because you cannot be a great chef in front of the camera, outside of your kitchen. Ramsay chose a career in TV, ultimately, above a career in the kitchen. And then you have guys like Maxime Lemeilleur, who is utterly dedicated to his kitchen and restaurant, and you will never hear about him, likely, but his food will blow your mind. There are some chefs out there Ramsay does not compare to, but also doesnt have to. Take Jordi Roca's deserts, etc... Bottom line: it is great we have them all, but Ramsay never was the pure top and best of them, nor the most innovate one. He sure was one of the most successful ones, if you count success primarily in financial gain or public standing/ fame.
Maybe he is not tge best chef,but not doubtevly most influencal chef in the world who put millions people in kitchen and they discovered that they enjoy it
@@mntssth5004 No, not even by a long shot. His kitchen has rarely influence over or serves as an example to other kitchens. Don't forget that he basically excelled at Marco Pierre White style cooking, as great as he is, but there is more Marco in Ramsay, than there is Ramsay in most of the great chefs of the world. That said, no doubt that Ramsay has a massive media appearance that made chef style cooking palatable to many young audiences. But once you get into the business, or did, you wanted to rather go to Ducasse to learn, or Ferra, or Thomas Keller, etc etc... Let me put it like this: Gordon projects massively to the outside what fine dining is (to some degree), but inwards, while he gave many ppl a life in cooking, no doubt, he is not an innovative motor that drives the scene from within. (Which isnt a centralized thing anyway ofc.)
@@single55 A lot more than you when it comes to fine dining, trust me. Literally none of the best restaurants in the world from the past 20 or so years have been influenced by Ramsay's cooking, and most of them frown upon it.
I love the way he said. Really respecting Gordan. Working with Gordan was very hard but he wanted to be there. He wanted to learn. And The 3 star restaurant in Paris that became his work after working with Gordan became a breeze. Easy, because he was trained. That is a lesson for the Tik Tok kid's today, That think you can get everything for free. Without work. No you have to work for it.
It's a pity these two men fell out. They are both at the top of their game in their profession. It must of been difficult for the both of them. Never the less, they have both managed to have success afterwards, and that takes great tenacity and determination.
@@DaleSteelHonestly, Ramsay falling out both with MPW and Marcus Wareing was a huge red flag in my opinion. These two were a big part of his career and falling out with BOTH of them just seems super odd
@@KinkyLettucenot really when you’re confident in yourself and done being an understudy. That’s like Michael Jordan bowing down to magic or Larry bird.
I'm a young chef. For anyone who says Gordon berates the people who work for him: you need to understand the difference between being demanding and being unprofessional. Gordon wants the best not for himself, but for the client, and when you're screwing up, you're screwing up the customer's experience. That's what drives him crazy. I've worked for way worse chefs than him who had way bigger egos and were only cooking for themselves. That's being unprofessional.
I actually agree with the fact he has high standards and I wish more people demanded excellence. Thats why sports are important being able to be coached is a lost skill.
As a burned out, middle-aged guy, every word is true. When I decided I was going to take better care of my large Catholic family, I went back to school, got my MBA, and went after my Big Four accounting job with intensity. It is the only I way got into their management training, then got promoted. The attitude and follow through changed my life.
Gordon Ramsay is not everyone's cup of tea. I love him though. His work ethic and his level of skill is generational. He deserves every success he's had.
@@supertuscans9512No body gives a fuck, the idea a cook is some kind of respectable impressive job is beyond me. It's all the emperor's clothing, poncy food that a load of people agree is good. It's no better than sausage and mash but is more exclusive and that's the rub.
That’s hilarious. I wonder if we stood you side by side and compared you both, who would come out as having had the more successful life? I can’t quite put my finger on it as to why but I don’t think it would be you😂😂😂
@@justbreakingballs Stick to your pie or sausage n'mash and keep quiet. You don't have to get involved. You're just spiteful and envious of him. Not every cook is a chef. Not every chef is a Michelin star chef. Not every Michelin start chef is a world-renowned successful businessman.
Brilliant interview session! Excellent planning, questioning style, and elicited really interesting and informative answers. Really gave the guest head to answer their way, which revealed more of their personality, character and story. Superb! I'm hooked, subscribed, and ready for more please!
nice when the peers you work with have ya back based on skill.. not some bullshit agender. well done Marcus who is also a great chef who i love to listen to and watch him in his trade..
I have always had great respect for the profession. I’ve always admired MPW and so by extension, Gordon Ramsay. As a physician, I can easily liken the training to become a chef to the training to become a doctor. Similarly, our hours would hover 90 plus hours for weeks at a time. It’s horrible when going through it, but when you’re done, you realize there was purpose in that, and not much can shake you afterward. Also, imposter syndrome is an extremely common thing as a resident physician in training. It fades over time :)
I was trained by a chef that does cooking demonstrations with Gordon Ramsay. He said Gordon was exactly the same in real life as you see on the TV. It isn't an act.
I went to catering college for years... they give you a ticket to learn from great people... I was lucky enough to work with some very very good chefs.
I spoke with some chefs at one of his Hollywood locations, and to a point, the OP is correct. However, the main difference between the TV Gordon and the real Gordon is this: IRL he will NOT waste time with a barrage of personal insults, his yelling is strictly about quality, not personal attacks. His work rants are sharp and short.

Marcus " NAILED IT" The Only reason why anyone Ever raises their voice in a kitchen is because someone is cutting a corner " SIMPLE AS THAT " and if I cut a corner , and someone raises their voice at me. So Be It. I deserve it, and you got to accept it. TOTAL RESPECT FOR YOU MARCUS. 100 % Agree.
Too my mind , and I did work with him for a small amount of time at Aubergine doing work experience shifts , he was an extremely thoughtful and level headed chef , calmer than Gordon for sure , but the perfect wing man for Gordon , I remember him more than Gordon so it tells you something.
appreciate this - thank you. never been a chef but did work in hospitality/front of house to put myself through uni back in early 1990s. 'classic' - maitre d, wine waiter, and me ("runner") (& if really busy "fourth" to back everyone else up) - silver service, award winning restaurant. learnt SO much, foundation for all other roles, as well as life. many, so many lessons - attention to detail, while at same time aware of entire restaurant/customers. complete utter focus and dedication on your role. learn from your mistakes. if done what *needs* to be done (ie prep), be proactive - look for things that need to be done. be cool, calm, collected. oh and customer IS always right. do NOT argue with the customer - (shocked at service now - had service staff YELL at me, the customer - wtf?)
8:46 So I work in sales, and recently I managed to get myself into a senior position. THIS is the most important thing. Forget about your dreams, forget about spending that money you haven't made yet. Get your head down and be perisistent, keep honing your craft, and just keep working as hard as you can. It's a cliche for sure, but if you do that it will eventually pay dividends in whatever you do.
I had the privilege of knowing a woman who has worked for Ramsay for 10 years. She stated if you worked hard and didn’t mess up - he was fine. If you fucked up and were crap he had no issues getting rid of you straight away. Sounds fair to me 🤷🏽♂️
I just got my fake teeth three weeks ago. 14 weeks gumming the nubs. Protein shakes got old quick. Can't eat hard food yet. Been binging Gordon Ramsay. Cooking slow braised pork belly over rice tonight. Thanks Gordon, you saved my life!
Michel and Albert Roux were asked who was they liked the most, talent wise, of all the chefs that had worked under them. Michel Roux chose Pierre Koffman and Albert chose Gordon Ramsey.
2:50 "don't find someone who's failed before" I have man respect for this guy but here I disagree. The person who has failed before is usually the one to turn to because they have more to teach you and they can tell you what pit falls to avoid providing you're willing to listen. While I do believe finding your own way is important and some times nessersary, wisdom has its place from the people who've been there before.
Ramsay telling the story of Marcus leaving La Tante Clare is quality Marcus came to Aubergine the very first few nights and Marco was there and basically told Marcus if he wanted A job he starts tomorrow so he did
Colin Fassnidge said at a local industry event "people always ask me what it was like working for Gordan Ramsay... Wasn't too bad, just had to learn to duck!"
Nice insights there. Clearly, Ramsay was destined for great things from the start - you can almost see it in some of the photo's in Marco's White Heat book. I think his time at Jamin with Robuchon (which was widely considered the best restaurant in the world at the time) and with Guy Savoy (who Ramsay claims is the most influential chef he worked with) took him to that next level, when he subsequently returned to London at Aubergine and latterly at Royal Hospital Road.
It's interesting to enjoy a passion, that you fall in love with the brutality. I've had some tough coaches growing up, and sometimes it sucked and at the beginning it really sucked. But man do I miss it more than anything
Gordon Ramsey is a total one- off, he is a good chef, “ a what you see is what you get chap” swearing is a language expressing your inner feelings.we all do that!Gordon Ramsey is a good Dad, which is more impressive than bothering about his swearing behavior!.
If you worked in London at any position, there is big concurrency and you have to do your part in the team. That has impact on whole company. If you start meds around and put your interests before final result and goals of companies you literally sinking others people effort and their lives for short personal gains. They do not like that there. You have to be professional at all time no matter what. That make huge difference and when you learn to be “at work” when you are at work your skill set grow and you have more opportunities also as person.
From what I understand, And from what I’ve been told, Gordon Ramsay isn’t the best cook that’s ever lived, but he has a remarkable ability to find the right man or woman for the job and to nurture them in his own way, if Gordon Ramsay had taken a different path, he would have been the best in that field, if he’d have stayed at rangers he would have been an excellent football manager eventually, or if he’d have been I. The army he’d have been an excellent field Marshall or general. I’m so proud as a British chef to say that I’m from the same country as Marco and Gordon, Marcus and others. Absolutely fantastic chefs and legacy they have left.
It's quite rare nowadays that the people in the bright bright spotlights of TV, are really really worth their salt in industries that aren't related to entertainment. Ramsay is one of them. Of all the celebrity chefs not a single chef in the world can say anything bad about his abilities.

Maybe he is not tge best chef,but not doubtevly most influencal chef in the world who put millions people in kitchen and they discovered that they enjoy it
@@mntssth5004 No, not even by a long shot. His kitchen has rarely influence over or serves as an example to other kitchens. Don't forget that he basically excelled at Marco Pierre White style cooking, as great as he is, but there is more Marco in Ramsay, than there is Ramsay in most of the great chefs of the world. That said, no doubt that Ramsay has a massive media appearance that made chef style cooking palatable to many young audiences. But once you get into the business, or did, you wanted to rather go to Ducasse to learn, or Ferra, or Thomas Keller, etc etc... Let me put it like this: Gordon projects massively to the outside what fine dining is (to some degree), but inwards, while he gave many ppl a life in cooking, no doubt, he is not an innovative motor that drives the scene from within. (Which isnt a centralized thing anyway ofc.)
@@104thironmike4you know it all don't you
@@single55 A lot more than you when it comes to fine dining, trust me. Literally none of the best restaurants in the world from the past 20 or so years have been influenced by Ramsay's cooking, and most of them frown upon it.
I love the way he said. Really respecting Gordan. Working with Gordan was very hard but he wanted to be there. He wanted to learn. And The 3 star restaurant in Paris that became his work after working with Gordan became a breeze. Easy, because he was trained. That is a lesson for the Tik Tok kid's today, That think you can get everything for free. Without work.
No you have to work for it.
Self doubt and imposter syndrome can be a Killer in all fields
Marcus Wareing is one smart Chef / Mentor
I live Marcus . He always has such an easy voice to listen too.
It's a pity these two men fell out. They are both at the top of their game in their profession. It must of been difficult for the both of them. Never the less, they have both managed to have success afterwards, and that takes great tenacity and determination.
Ramsey falls out with everyone been a narcissist
Like in other worlds full of strong personalities, it's almost bound to happen sometimes. Neither may even be right or wrong.
@@DaleSteelHonestly, Ramsay falling out both with MPW and Marcus Wareing was a huge red flag in my opinion. These two were a big part of his career and falling out with BOTH of them just seems super odd
@@KinkyLettucenot really when you’re confident in yourself and done being an understudy. That’s like Michael Jordan bowing down to magic or Larry bird.
Very good Interview. Marcus is a humble legend
Handsome bastard too
This interview has made me a subscriber. Done deal. The conversation about imposter syndrome hit home.
I'm a young chef. For anyone who says Gordon berates the people who work for him: you need to understand the difference between being demanding and being unprofessional. Gordon wants the best not for himself, but for the client, and when you're screwing up, you're screwing up the customer's experience. That's what drives him crazy. I've worked for way worse chefs than him who had way bigger egos and were only cooking for themselves. That's being unprofessional.
It’s the weird personal nature of his insults that he almost always immediately goes to though, it’s pretty pathetic
I actually agree with the fact he has high standards and I wish more people demanded excellence. Thats why sports are important being able to be coached is a lost skill.
As a burned out, middle-aged guy, every word is true. When I decided I was going to take better care of my large Catholic family, I went back to school, got my MBA, and went after my Big Four accounting job with intensity. It is the only I way got into their management training, then got promoted. The attitude and follow through changed my life.
Listen to Angela Hartnett on her DISH podcast when she had Gordon Ramsay on. She has such respect for Gordon and Marcus.
Gordon Ramsay is not everyone's cup of tea. I love him though. His work ethic and his level of skill is generational. He deserves every success he's had.
I don’t think it has ever been Gordon’s ambition to be liked, his ambition has been for his expertise and professionalism to be respected.
@@supertuscans9512No body gives a fuck, the idea a cook is some kind of respectable impressive job is beyond me. It's all the emperor's clothing, poncy food that a load of people agree is good. It's no better than sausage and mash but is more exclusive and that's the rub.
That’s hilarious. I wonder if we stood you side by side and compared you both, who would come out as having had the more successful life?
I can’t quite put my finger on it as to why but I don’t think it would be you😂😂😂
@@justbreakingballs
Stick to your pie or sausage n'mash and keep quiet. You don't have to get involved.
You're just spiteful and envious of him.
Not every cook is a chef.
Not every chef is a Michelin star chef.
Not every Michelin start chef is a world-renowned successful businessman.
@@hakz795 😂
Brilliant interview session! Excellent planning, questioning style, and elicited really interesting and informative answers. Really gave the guest head to answer their way, which revealed more of their personality, character and story. Superb! I'm hooked, subscribed, and ready for more please!
nice when the peers you work with have ya back based on skill.. not some bullshit agender. well done Marcus who is also a great chef who i love to listen to and watch him in his trade..
I have always had great respect for the profession. I’ve always admired MPW and so by extension, Gordon Ramsay. As a physician, I can easily liken the training to become a chef to the training to become a doctor. Similarly, our hours would hover 90 plus hours for weeks at a time. It’s horrible when going through it, but when you’re done, you realize there was purpose in that, and not much can shake you afterward. Also, imposter syndrome is an extremely common thing as a resident physician in training. It fades over time :)
I’m nodding along to everything this man says as I slowly stir my beans in preparation for the toast. World class recognises world class. 🤌
Absolutely the worse restaurant I’ve ever eaten in was his.

@@ChristianSachaNovakMcDonald’s is a Michelin starred restaurant in your world - your a proper knob jockey 😂
I was trained by a chef that does cooking demonstrations with Gordon Ramsay. He said Gordon was exactly the same in real life as you see on the TV. It isn't an act.
I went to catering college for years... they give you a ticket to learn from great people... I was lucky enough to work with some very very good chefs.
I've worked for one of Gordon's protege's and confirm what you say is true, Gordon is always Gordon
I spoke with some chefs at one of his Hollywood locations, and to a point, the OP is correct. However, the main difference between the TV Gordon and the real Gordon is this: IRL he will NOT waste time with a barrage of personal insults, his yelling is strictly about quality, not personal attacks. His work rants are sharp and short.
@@RichDoes.. What great person did you "learn" from to put multiple fullstops between sentences? You separate sentences with one fullstop only.* The* next sentence then starts with a capital letter.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 it's not grammatical ......... it's the internet you plank!
94 hour week was my heaviest week... finished on a Sunday.. wedding buffet for 350 covers.... I cried when the manager sent me home, I was soo tired.
that's McDonalds for you.
I find working 24hrs a week a struggle 😂
@@DameTremonti lol the buffet was majestically pretty, I poached salmon in a swimming position and set them on mirrors with blue gelatin for water and washed rocks for simulated river streams Golden arches do ZERO for my pallette.
I currently work for Chef Ramsay in Hell's Kitchen. I have worked in 5 of his restaurants. Hardest job ever.
Good $ right?
Marcus " NAILED IT" The Only reason why anyone Ever raises their voice in a kitchen is because someone is cutting a corner " SIMPLE AS THAT " and if I cut a corner , and someone raises their voice at me. So Be It. I deserve it, and you got to accept it. TOTAL RESPECT FOR YOU MARCUS. 100 % Agree.
Wow !…that’s real respect for his old boss 🙏
To be a good chef you have to have SO much passion for it. Without the passion, it’s a crazy job.
Too my mind , and I did work with him for a small amount of time at Aubergine doing work experience shifts , he was an extremely thoughtful and level headed chef , calmer than Gordon for sure , but the perfect wing man for Gordon , I remember him more than Gordon so it tells you something.
Ramsey is the most successful chef out there, he’s just gone from kitchen to global recognition. Bravo to him 👍🏻
Jake! So good to see you. You were a staple of my childhood and this is really great stuff you’re creating.
You must be young. 😮
appreciate this - thank you. never been a chef but did work in hospitality/front of house to put myself through uni back in early 1990s. 'classic' - maitre d, wine waiter, and me ("runner") (& if really busy "fourth" to back everyone else up) - silver service, award winning restaurant. learnt SO much, foundation for all other roles, as well as life. many, so many lessons - attention to detail, while at same time aware of entire restaurant/customers. complete utter focus and dedication on your role. learn from your mistakes. if done what *needs* to be done (ie prep), be proactive - look for things that need to be done. be cool, calm, collected. oh and customer IS always right. do NOT argue with the customer - (shocked at service now - had service staff YELL at me, the customer - wtf?)
Last time I saw Marcus was in "Boiling Point". I am glad he's successful and doing well. 😁
LOVE YOU GORDON RAMSAY..YOUR EXCELLENT MANNER FOR FOOD SERVICE IS EXCEPTIONAL..THANKYOU
Its the hard work we put in the past that stands us in good ground in the future.
Respect! Marcos kitchen being the boot camp required!!
Marcus Wareing is imho the most respected chef of my generation and it would be an honour to cook with him.
8:46 So I work in sales, and recently I managed to get myself into a senior position. THIS is the most important thing. Forget about your dreams, forget about spending that money you haven't made yet. Get your head down and be perisistent, keep honing your craft, and just keep working as hard as you can. It's a cliche for sure, but if you do that it will eventually pay dividends in whatever you do.
Fantastic interview guys
I had the privilege of knowing a woman who has worked for Ramsay for 10 years. She stated if you worked hard and didn’t mess up - he was fine.
If you fucked up and were crap he had no issues getting rid of you straight away.
Sounds fair to me 🤷🏽♂️
I just got my fake teeth three weeks ago. 14 weeks gumming the nubs. Protein shakes got old quick. Can't eat hard food yet. Been binging Gordon Ramsay. Cooking slow braised pork belly over rice tonight. Thanks Gordon, you saved my life!
I thought Wareing had conflicts with Ramsay, though. Good to know he nevertheless speaks highly of him
I imagine those were business, not personal disputes, so they’re grown up enough to put it aside
Michel and Albert Roux were asked who was they liked the most, talent wise, of all the chefs that had worked under them. Michel Roux chose Pierre Koffman and Albert chose Gordon Ramsey.
2:50 "don't find someone who's failed before"
I have man respect for this guy but here I disagree. The person who has failed before is usually the one to turn to because they have more to teach you and they can tell you what pit falls to avoid providing you're willing to listen. While I do believe finding your own way is important and some times nessersary, wisdom has its place from the people who've been there before.
Marcus Wareing pictured here aged 28 😂😂
Ramsay telling the story of Marcus leaving La Tante Clare is quality
Marcus came to Aubergine the very first few nights and Marco was there and basically told Marcus if he wanted A job he starts tomorrow so he did
Whatever anyone says about Ramsay, he is a class act. Talks the talk but walks it as well 👍
you are wrong. . full on douch . .
People said the same thing about Mohammed Ali, and they were right then as well.
Colin Fassnidge said at a local industry event "people always ask me what it was like working for Gordan Ramsay... Wasn't too bad, just had to learn to duck!"
Marcus is a class act.
I don’t think people really appreciate a talented chef. They give emotion through their food. Never know behind the scenes
As Escoffier said, Fond la Cuisine. The foundation.
@1:43, yep, test tasting is the difference between a, 'bin the lot'!! And yes...going in the right direction, couldnt agree more and im no chef.
Such intelligent questions, and fantastic responses. Outstanding interview.
My man went to war cooking soup lol
Never knew making food was so intense, valour of honour for this dude
Marcus was still indirectly inspired by MPW..
As most great accomplished chefs have been..
No one can belittle MPW, he may be but nuts but he’s brilliant.
Love Marcus Wareing
Mentorship is essential to success, regardless of your knowledge 💯 in the field of expertise!
good job, the real thing !! Well done !!
Nice insights there. Clearly, Ramsay was destined for great things from the start - you can almost see it in some of the photo's in Marco's White Heat book. I think his time at Jamin with Robuchon (which was widely considered the best restaurant in the world at the time) and with Guy Savoy (who Ramsay claims is the most influential chef he worked with) took him to that next level, when he subsequently returned to London at Aubergine and latterly at Royal Hospital Road.
Marcus
I worked with him at Braganza, Soho. Close to Green Park Station. That was a game changer 😉🤣
It's interesting to enjoy a passion, that you fall in love with the brutality. I've had some tough coaches growing up, and sometimes it sucked and at the beginning it really sucked. But man do I miss it more than anything
Imagine Gordon in a field kitchen in World War One, or as a sgt major. Scary stuff.
Why? Troops would have eaten beaf wellington instead of chow, war would have been won in 3 days lol.
No bullshit Marcus.Great yarn 😊
What a great interview.
Great interview
Ramsey a true gent . Ramsey fearless . A realist and a proper person 👍🏻
The "realest and proper person"part was something else he got from Marco, and Marco got it from where hes from, Leeds.
Ramsey may be called several things but a gent he certainly is not
Only a mindless simp would call Ramsay a true gent.
@@djstucWow, thanks for the anecdotal evidence. You’ve convinced us all. Congrats.
great guests on recently
Wow, this was so cool
This guy needs to be In Star Wars
Hahaha. Funny.
So being tense and pissed off is being a chef? I can do that 😂
It's only a bit of food! 😂
this is an amazing insight. i love it
4:40 what's he talking about "self-deprecating" ?
“ Head down “
my largest brigade was 8... it was tiring and exciting on the pass.
Excellent
Marco Knorr White is the GOAT
I'm world class at sleeping, high performance
Gordon Ramsey is a total one- off, he is a good chef, “ a what you see is what you get chap” swearing is a language expressing your inner feelings.we all do that!Gordon Ramsey is a good Dad, which is more impressive than bothering about his swearing behavior!.
Fascinating stuff,
A slave for Ramseys Michelin stars !! But what an education he got in return .
The dude is like Obi-Wan Kenobi - prove me wrong.
hahahahahah such a good shout
If you worked in London at any position, there is big concurrency and you have to do your part in the team. That has impact on whole company. If you start meds around and put your interests before final result and goals of companies you literally sinking others people effort and their lives for short personal gains. They do not like that there. You have to be professional at all time no matter what. That make huge difference and when you learn to be “at work” when you are at work your skill set grow and you have more opportunities also as person.
From what I understand, And from what I’ve been told, Gordon Ramsay isn’t the best cook that’s ever lived, but he has a remarkable ability to find the right man or woman for the job and to nurture them in his own way, if Gordon Ramsay had taken a different path, he would have been the best in that field, if he’d have stayed at rangers he would have been an excellent football manager eventually, or if he’d have been I. The army he’d have been an excellent field Marshall or general. I’m so proud as a British chef to say that I’m from the same country as Marco and Gordon, Marcus and others. Absolutely fantastic chefs and legacy they have left.
He was 100%...focus...to be a good chef...
It's quite rare nowadays that the people in the bright bright spotlights of TV, are really really worth their salt in industries that aren't related to entertainment. Ramsay is one of them. Of all the celebrity chefs not a single chef in the world can say anything bad about his abilities.
Shame Marco never had the success of Ramsay. I think he is jealous to this day, but equally talented.....
I can, his mums a better cook
Awesome
Fantastic advice on avoiding imposter syndrome.
1:21 - did he say "unlike no other"? Bet he meant "like no other".
No he’s correct
