To be fair to current chefs, it was 1000x easier to get a michelin star back in the day. Food culture was not innovative and very classic, whereas today, you have to be innovative, creative and literally perfect both in taste and presentation.
On Master Chef he specifically insisted on using a spatula to mix instead of a wooden spoon since it can reach all parts of a mixing bowl and allows the ingredients to blend better
Gordon sounds like him. He has same rhythm to his speech. “Seasoned nicely. Scallops on. Fois gras on. Sauce, gently on the carrots.” Its interesting to hear what I think of Ramsey’s peculiar staccato as something he obviously picked up from Marco.
miele Gordon definitely has his own style, through some of his mannerisms are like Marco’s, he has a different presence in the kitchen and in life than Marco does
@@teosoderholm96 This is true to a degree , he was like the pele of cooking back in these days but nowadays this sort of cooking is outdated and wouldn't be able to compete. I'm sure hes learned a lot himself though
@@callumpettitt8192 please go look google pictues of his restaurants, its a fucking joke and would be a joke in a small town even, he hasn't learned anything for 30 years... he is NOTHING today just and old drunk coke addict
He was also know to kick people out mid dinner for being rude, not even charging them for the meal. Which is quite ironical considering his own behavior.
"I can do you at 9:30.. you're desperate are you? Can you give me your number? and your bedroom number?" There's no way he just said all of that unintentionally hahaha
It wasn't unintentional, after all he was known to cheat on his wives repeatedly and was caught with staff and others on numerous accounts. Great chef, kind of a sociopathic piece of shit in every way though.
@@qweqwe1324 The reporters in his restaurants weren't walking over him, they would just engage him. But he acted like an arrogant prick. And Marco 100% sold out to knorr, unless he supports MSG in fine dining.
@@gangisspawn1 To add to this he’s kind of a scumbag in general. I’ve heard he would sleep around a lot and cheated on his wives multiple times. Great cook, but awful person.
I've watched this so many times there's only a certain number of videos on Marco Pierre White. It's really unfortunate. The guy is genius. He was running 4th best restaurant in Britain when he was in his twenties. That is absolutely insanity. You can tell how bored he was he was on the phone just toying with people. He was like a mad genius.
Well there is something like the succes paradox. He doesn't sound like a genius to me, just a child with a mouth. Now you will say that I haven't achieved what he has. But that's not true but more, how do you know? Exactly just a childish response again. These people are good at what they do just like the best trashman you can think of, doesn't make them genius, just one part of their brains which functions. The other part is hanging on the phone making some people like you believe they are genius rofl
I've watched this many times too & this video is by far the best. It showed him at his prime in the kitchen but I think Harvey's & everything that came with it burned him out. He switched gears after & owned several restaurants. He opted for the business aspect of the industry w/his name but not behind the stove. He had to give something up to gain both financial & personal.
Marco would have made a great James Bond villain! Just his quiet, controlled, measured way of speaking and the hint of controlled rage waiting to spill out from the quiet facade, Full respect to the man, an absolute genius and toiler!
@@animaljustice7774 I might be wrong here but a genius isn’t necessarily someone who’s really smart. A genius could be a genius at a craft. You could say Leonardo decrapdio is a genius actor. Or micheal Jordan was a genius basketball player and so on.
I will never forget interviewing for my first commis position, the chef was running behind. And asked if I wanted to read a cook book while I wait. I declined politely. It wasn't a choice, he handed Me , Marco Pierre White's - White heat book . I turned through the first pages and realized that this chef, was on a different level and that he would shape my career and life. I was 16 , and was lost in life up until that fateful day. Thank you Keith and Marco Pierre
Small world. I knew all those people. They're always nice before you get hired. You must be retired or changed career by now unless you were talented to make it to the top.
The only reason this comment made me laugh is because I'm high and I wasn't expecting to see it on this particular Gordon Ramsay-related video. Good job, but kindly, fuck you.
Marco was really intimidating back in the 80s, from the way he speaks, to the way he lights a match. Dude was cool and quietly terrifying at the same time.
For anyone else that might be curious about all the chefs that have gone through Marco's kitchen, the chef that was helping Marco prepare the scallop with fois gras dish was Phillip Howard, the chef patron of the Square in London (2 Micheline stars). Stephen terry also showed up here and there and he was in GBM season 3 with Jason Atherton and Glynn Purnell cooking at Heston Blumenthal's banquet.
01:17 that match-stick light without looking down and lighting of the cigarette is one of the most epic moments I have ever witnessed - such a mic drop moment.
+NGC6144 Yes, apparently someone half heard of the great Marco, and thought his name was something like" Macu ". So it's like, " Sorry, Macu is not in, he's off on a sabbatical, he won't be back for another six months. ". Who knew MPW had a great sense of humor?
So what? It's one of the few pillars of the British cuisine, he started working at 16 which means that by the age of the video he has done it like a million times.
It's incredible. Ramsay is often seen as a violent Chef yet the myths that surround Harvey's and Marco Pierre White are so scary. You see that small kitchen and less than 10 people and it's crazy, and White has to call every single fucking ticket. That is fucking crazy. For real, Ramsay is kind of nice guy, he just wants his shit done and that's it. But what they say about White is beyond nasty and everything that you see in this video seems so calmed and relaxed. That's fucking crazy, really fucking crazy.
Hazera A Well, if you must know, there is a story of a cook that started at Harvey's and he complained about the heat in the kitchen and Marco took his knife, opened his jacket from behind and ask him 'You feel better'. There's also the infamous story of Marco in which he made Gordon cry. Gordon often describes Harvey's kitchen as a violent kitchen, full of bullying and humiliation. In the book, The devil in the kitchen by Marco, you can see more of these stories, but you should check all these videos of Marco and get a glimpse of how he is in the kitchen. Best regards ;)
Gordon Ramsey on one of his last days broke down crying, Marco feels bad now and feel party responsible for creating Gordon's tempter when he first started his own restaurant.
I doubt the one where Marco sliced this guy's jacket open is true, but the one on Gordon's last day when he humiliated him so much that he cried, that's true.
Anthony bourdain was fangirling over marco when he was a young cook, even going so far as to replicate an iconic photo of marco holding a knife. You can see that pic in bourdains book, kitchen confidential.
I started in television around the time of this programme doing computer graphics and can remember when titles like this one were ... really well liked, and clever. Nice memories and yes how far we've come. Plus I love this man's food and passion.
I find his cooking to be soothing. He has a very relaxing way about him. He’s not screaming and bullying the chefs training under him, that’s no way to pass on a skill
Oh no, Gordon Ramsay talks about Marco’s erratic, violent behaviour in his book. He physically beat one of his chefs, threw pots and pans and boiling water and sauces…fired someone who was Gordan’s roommate and told Gordan he had to kick the man out of his flat or he would be fired too. He was actually quite cruel back in the day….
One thing I've noticed about Marco is how much control he had over his workers or apprentices, they are literally ready to say how high when he says jump.
Marco was the Mickey Rourke look of culinary back then. Extremely talented with the "it" factor, can't be explained just smooth. Years later Michelin Madness doc said it all for all Chefs, he took part in it.
I assume a lot of people will argue because Gordon Ramsay is now a widely popular chef but Marco is the best there ever was. 6 years later: You're right guys, he isn't. I was really inspired by him but that's not enough to say he was the best ever. Acting like a blind fanboy isn't good for anyone - learn from my mistakes!
Best of his generation. The food business is always changing and Gordon Ramsay’s dishes work with the time we are in. While Marcos wouldn’t make it anywhere near a Michelin restaurant
I don’t think that’s 2pm, I think it’s 2am when they would go to Chinatown, I have a very hard time thinking the Number 4 Restaurant in the UK especially with a Chef as driven as Marco would have closed at 2pm on a Saturday. They go out to Chinatown once everything had been closed out (guessing Midnight closing then waiting for the last diners to leave plus getting everything closed and put away so at or a little before 2am), kick it and eat for a couple hours THEN Marco would head home about 4am and lay in bed all day Sunday
Saidur Rahaman well the sound engineer doesn't necessarily make the music. He mixes everything and make sure everything blends and sounds good. It's more of the producer that has the vision for the song being written.
I don't see how you couldn't at least respect this guy. He was so ahead of his time it's retarded. True he trained under some great chefs, but this dude really was on another level. Think about the year in which this was shot. It's too bad he said fuck fine dining and retired. I'd be interested to see how this could have progressed. He kind of reminds me of Mike Tyson, in the too much too quick category.
ALEXANDER BAKER Asians think that Western especially European food is all looks but actually bland and tasteless. Westerners think that East/Southeast Asian food has no finesse, very bold looking but full on flavor
MPW - genius, and the meal I had at Harvey's in the early 80's remains unforgettable as three-course masterpieces. Plus, MPW did say Hello and was extremely pleasant and unaffected. A Lennonesque man, perhaps....

He is a chef but has that rockstar presence
Me: *Discovers young Marco*
**So this is love starts playing in the back of my head**
At 28 two Michelin stars??
WHAT
The youngest in history, even when he got three of it.
@@AminNazari666 not any longer Sir. He was the youngest.
He got the third at 33.
Tom Aikens got 2 at 26.
Don't forget the fact that he's the only one in history to give back his three Michelin star status after realizing how worthless they actually are.
One thing I've noticed about Marco is how much control he had over his workers or apprentices, they are literally ready to say how high when he says jump.
Marco was the Mickey Rourke look of culinary back then. Extremely talented with the "it" factor, can't be explained just smooth. Years later Michelin Madness doc said it all for all Chefs, he took part in it.
I assume a lot of people will argue because Gordon Ramsay is now a widely popular chef but Marco is the best there ever was.
6 years later: You're right guys, he isn't. I was really inspired by him but that's not enough to say he was the best ever. Acting like a blind fanboy isn't good for anyone - learn from my mistakes!
Best of his generation. The food business is always changing and Gordon Ramsay’s dishes work with the time we are in. While Marcos wouldn’t make it anywhere near a Michelin restaurant
@@alexsircus368 Michelin is bs anyway
He was a revelation in UK, nobody can argue that, but France and Italy were far ahead. I don't think he ever been on the top10 during his time.
Ramsay is a classless prick. The only reason why he's brought up is because Marco was his boss.
No he isn't. And he isn't because he is cooking food and using techniques invented by the French chefs who are probably unknown to the wider world.
even if marco is on the phone taking reservations he can still watch everything going on in the kitchen even if hes not their
Does anyone come here now and then for just chilling out to this?
I love how Marco is just one of the boys goes out 2pm gets home 2-4am chills watching tv back to work the next day legend
I don’t think that’s 2pm, I think it’s 2am when they would go to Chinatown, I have a very hard time thinking the Number 4 Restaurant in the UK especially with a Chef as driven as Marco would have closed at 2pm on a Saturday. They go out to Chinatown once everything had been closed out (guessing Midnight closing then waiting for the last diners to leave plus getting everything closed and put away so at or a little before 2am), kick it and eat for a couple hours THEN Marco would head home about 4am and lay in bed all day Sunday
@@zachhoward9099 yeah cause Saturday night he ain't got to close is he
8:12 Ultimate Troll
This is gold! The music everything what a gem!
Wow man this guy was a pioneer of his time just an absolute joy watching an artist at work.👏👍
I love the simplicity of the dishes. All about getting the most out of a few great ingredients.
from 0:22-0:40 the sound engineer did a great job, i just like that old retro beat
Saidur Rahaman well the sound engineer doesn't necessarily make the music. He mixes everything and make sure everything blends and sounds good. It's more of the producer that has the vision for the song being written.
I don't see how you couldn't at least respect this guy. He was so ahead of his time it's retarded. True he trained under some great chefs, but this dude really was on another level. Think about the year in which this was shot. It's too bad he said fuck fine dining and retired. I'd be interested to see how this could have progressed. He kind of reminds me of Mike Tyson, in the too much too quick category.
Yeah I agree. I didn't realise how successful he was. Until watching this. He's really done well
ALEXANDER BAKER when did he retired
ALEXANDER BAKER Asians think that Western especially European food is all looks but actually bland and tasteless. Westerners think that East/Southeast Asian food has no finesse, very bold looking but full on flavor

R/\P M\/ZIK impossible
This is awesome! Passion and attention to detail.
It’s funny how they give you shit for smoking when you join cooking school, and here is the living legend smoking his brains out
MPW - genius, and the meal I had at Harvey's in the early 80's remains unforgettable as three-course masterpieces. Plus, MPW did say Hello and was extremely pleasant and unaffected. A Lennonesque man, perhaps....
Seriously?0.0
@@setsers1 Seriously and in his own right/rite/write
something no one has seemed to have noticed is how genuinely terrified all the other chefs are of him.
The savage trolling of his customers, yet they still demand his culinary delights.
I just love the way the sounds of the kitchen while cooking is wonderful to me🤩🥰 utensils, pots, knifes, wine bottle, the oven doors the plates every thing is just music to my ears and I love it!👌👍👍👍
Marco is a freakin Maestro in the way he cooks! Wow!!
So awesome, thank you for this! Anything Bourdain and Marco are both big inspirations for me
I’ve read white heat multiple times and watched these episodes too many times to count. Never gets old, as a chef these have inspired me so much.
When he's talking with a cigarette in his mouth at the begining, he reminds me a lot young Tom Hardy.
no man, it should be how much young Tom Hardy remind you of MWP, because how earlier MWP appear in this world and how much of a boss MWP is.
The passion this man has is phenomenal. I hold so much respect for Chef White.
What a character - at the end, he's a joker and a flirt too. Brilliant.
What artistry yet simplicity from Marco!
80s videos like these have such a relaxing vibe to them. Great for ASMR.
