Marco with his hair looking like a mad genius, while Gordon looks so attentive and putting 100 percent focus into absorbing everything that Marco is doing and saying.
You can tell even at that age Gordon was likely one of his top people there. The fact he had him helping him during demonstrations shows how much trust was placed on Gordon.
Not only that he's working on the burners. Literally the only person on it besides Marco. On top of that Marco doesn't say a word to him, barely even looks at him (from what we see in the video) while working. So by that time I'm sure Marco could easily see how confident Gordon was getting with the recipes.
And both are very rude and aggressive! Edit: to the people who called me those incredibly rude names...... GR and MPW are rude and aggressive both in a kitchen and out of it, and I'd rather be called a brain dead moron than have a reputation as a foul mouthed bully.
One thing that is a bonified fact about Gordon Ramsay is that he EARNED the right to talk shit. Head chefs are brutal and the stories that he has of getting pans thrown at him. Being cussed out. Working for free. Peeling onions for 6 hours after a full shift.... Dude put himself through the gauntlet and it really paid off. Massive respect for Gordon and his ability to inspire millions to get into the kitchen and try cooking.
Seeing Gordon quietly responding to the head chef really is something else! Incredible humility. And it shows that he understands what it meant to be a good worker and a better student.
When he's yelling at people to shut up and listen it's bc he's been there. He was quiet and he watched and listened. That's how you learn. Props to Gordon. Even more proof he deserves to be where he is.
Let’s not pretend that near-verbal-abusing your underlings to make entertaining TV makes for good actual craftsmanship or a healthy environment. I’m not saying he’s not great chef,, but you know someone deserves authority when they communicate their needs softly and concisely, without barking like a dog.
@@bazbuco I'm pretty sure that even when the cameras aren't rolling they act and proceed the same exact way. So don't make it seem like it's just for the camera.
You should watch the UK versions of his shows (kitchen nightmares uk etc.), it's much calmer and less dramatic than the US versions. I much prefer those than the chaotic and noisy US based shows.
Probably views it as part of his image brand at this point or something. Similar to how Bob Ross kept his perm, even though he actually disliked the hair style, because it basically became his trademark look.
I wouldn't say that is always a good thing. If I worked for someone who would constantly berate me and scream at me I'd end up in jail for assault. I don't care how stressful the job might be, it's a kitchen, not the front line of a war. There's no need to pretend you're a drill instructor with all the screaming and threats.
@@EnkiSvohden You got a point, but he is in the buisness longer than some of us are on this planet and if you saw some of the shit people do in the kitchens he helped out at you would know why he is boiling like that. He also gives credit where it's do.
@@EnkiSvohden tell me you aint ever worked a day in your life without telling me if THIS is what you call "drill instructor" then you couldn't survive in a business that has any form of management at all. This rather calm for a boss who's trying to meet quotas in minutes rather than days. and Gordon only yells and shit for the TV.
When marco asked Gordon if they had gone through twice with the pasta you could tell Marco trusted that Gordon was focused enough to know exactly what was going on while marco was talking to the production team. That's why Gordon is where he is today 🤘
This short clip effectively shows how fast and efficient a high level kitchen must operate to consistently put out high quality, top-tier dishes. I love the concentration on all their faces.
and yet for such gruelling work they are generally paid shit wages. No wonder there's such endemic alcoholism and substance abuse within the chef profession. I guess you have to be a die-hard cooking enthusiast to stay within that career. I still don't understand why so many people in the business think it's worth it, though.
@@Taeronai you’re right. The pay isn’t good. I know. I did this kind of work in high end kitchens when I was a young lad. I thought I wanted to do this for a living, that is, to become a chef, but it wasn’t for me. They put the young blokes through this to weed out those who are not obsessed with becoming pro cooks on this level. It’s an initiation essentially.
This is fantastic to see. You can see how Gordon has become a product of both his training and his passion. He teaches the way he was taught, he flares up, excels, and encourages how he does because of his love for food, and he started in a tiny kitchen with barely enough room for the people working in it only to work his way up to where he is now. He's a top chef because he worked his ass off and carried his passion through every step of his life.
Yeah, if only chef's like him can learn to respect people more in the kitchen. It's already a very stressful job so yelling at each other and calling each other names doesn't help at all really. A leader encourages someone, not tears them down and belittles them. It's a kitchen not the military. I'm sure a lot of the way he acts in the kitchen is more for show but swearing and getting mad at your employees is never professional, I don't care what country you're from. Here in America if you belittle someone in the job you might get your ass kicked whether you are the boss or not.
@@guitarsandcars2586 Part of that is for the show, part of it is because most of the chefs on Hell's Kitchen are people that are supposedly top chef in their kitchens but are screwing up relatively basic things that they should have down pat. Many of them pride themselves as masters of the craft but continuously ruin dishes and can't work together at all. If you watch Gordon in Master Chef, Master Chef Jr, or Next Level Chef, you see a lot more of his encouragement come out because he's not dealing with people that are supposed to be professional chefs, they're people that are still learning and he's very supportive of them.
@@guitarsandcars2586 Agree completely. Especially when it comes to Gordon Ramsey since he has experience being screamed at with such vitriol that it reduced him to a sobbing mess as he huddled in a corner. After experiencing that kind of pain and humiliation, why would you ever want to inflict that on someone else even if it is played up for a camera? By the way, the person who reduced Ramsey to that state? Marco Pierre White, the chef who's talking in this very video.
@@ladulaser In that case, the high school student is probably more knowledgable. One silly little piece of paper that demonstrates your ability to be a sheep isn't the same as wisdom.
I find it amazing that he gained confidence as he got older, he lets his voice out and still shows major respect to every chef out there, he’s truly grown as a master chef
It's so.... ODD. Seeing Gordon Ramsey so young & still learning to be a chef. And also getting a chance to see one of the teachers he looked up to, IN ACTION teaching him. This is wild thanks for the upload. 🙌
I was just thinking that. I do prefer watching Gordon when he isn't swearing his head off. I think part of it is for show now, especially on some programmes.
If you watch the US version of Kitchen Nighmares vs the UK version there is quite a difference in the way that he talks and behaves. One is dramatic the other is calmer
What do you mean surpassed? More successful monetarily and business wise? Yes of course, Gordon took a different route in his career and Marco retired early and did his thing. But as a chef? No way! Marco is one of best ever to live and is Gordon's inspirational human.. Despite them falling out. Both are very hot headed driven individuals that managed to clash and push each others buttons lol Gordon crashed Marco's wedding with a film crew without permission! Shit really did hit the fan after that lol
I love more of the fact they developed a love/hate relationship. But they both really respect eachother. Even tho they still jokingly give eachother shit it's like for someone like me in the military I to this day am respectful of my drill sgt even tho at the timehe was a scary mother fucker. But he help make me into who I am today and but I do still shit on him a little bit not because I don't respect him but for fun and more because even tho he kicked my ass at the time he taught me how to be a soldier
TMURPH~BRAVO for posting this video of the Young Chef in the making, Mr. Ramsay and his Young & talented Mentor, Mr. White!!! What a treat!!! I knew Mr. Ramsay started young but I had no idea his mentor & teacher (Michelin- Star Chef) was within the same age range as him! Not only fascinating...it blows my mind! Now that's real talent! Mahalo for sharing!~~cc
Love the image of Gordon looking so stressed cooking over the stove. He's really put his heart and soul into cooking and done the very very hard work to become great. He teaches from a place of hard-fought experience.
When Marco asked Gordon if they had gone through the pasta twice, you could tell that Marco truly trusted that Gordon was focused enough on the pasta so he could easily demonstrate the process with the production team. That is why Gordon and Marco are the goats
Feels like Gordon's face aged because he was withholding his anger on these years keeping a silent demeanor. The stress affecting his face wrinkles. But now that his older he can freely shout and curse releasing all that stress. And his face stopped aging and remained constant.
@@Givisba he beat a head chef to the point that he broke the dudes leg, he'd be unpredicable and violent, and he treats customers horribly edit: thanks for the replies, I just tried remembering where I heard about it, but yeah he is part of the reason Gordon Ramsay is who he is. I now know what actually happened thanks to the replies so yeah that's on me, my bad
You see ? Gordon now joking around and yelling people for the TVs but back then he was truly serious about this art . I mean dead serious as you can see . I respect that immensely.
@@theajtruth Do you know how long that prodigy took to be able to take that giant leap from a learner to be an Master ?

Gordon yells at Chefs who claim to be the best and produce items that aren't the best. Watch him with people that aren't Chefs that say they're the best
You can clearly see how in the zone Gordon is with him. Like automatic movements and muscle memory. He clearly bought in to his teaching. Even in other trades you see these changes and characteristics with future leaders during their training. As a manger in my field I love this when it starts to take shape.
Marco is insanely talented, confident and experienced.... love seeing the old footage of these two in the same room, you hardly ever put them together these days, but you can see where Gordon leaned his craft
@@walterwhite4398 Lots of "alleged" stuff, you can look online for those. But apparently Marco and Gordon have both issued their apologies and reconcile, which I didn't know of until now
@bastiatand you've provided absolutely 0% of insights to this thread. So quit throwing your weight around until you actually share something we don't know.
This video shows he earned his place. He worked hard, didn’t talk back, and kept on pushing. You can tell he’s learned incredible life lessons from this kitchen.
In some places you get misunderstood entirely. You not talking back to them theyre taking that as a sign of disrespect. Crazy as it sounds. Have a good one.
This is why Gordon isn’t just a famous chef who yells , he studied and carefully learned his craft for years under the best chefs and strictest mentours , he earned his stripes
I actually thought Gordon was the one doing all the yelling in that beginning part but it was his mentor, it’s crazy to see that’s where he got it from
“A lot of people don’t know what work is.” As a chef this is so accurate. Try working under pressure in a manic service for 60+ hours a week. Only few professions can relate.
He understands when to talk and when not to if you see one of his show where he is learning something from somebody usually in Asia or somewhere he is just like this he knows he's the student not the teacher.
@@Mssister00 a little maybe for american tv but not a lot he's a very intense guy and a perfectionist the first documentary I saw him in in the uk was like 20+ years ago and he was still just head chef of his first restaurant and he was pretty harsh on his chefs.
He really earned his right to shout eh. He's so focused and respectful, clearly the type of student he want's himself but never seems to get lmao. Can really understand why he loses his temper when everyone is so loud and proud, when really they should be like him and know who's best and learn from them instead of allowing their pride to get in the way.
I've seen people lower their pride for Gordan, but he just continues to belittle them. It's all for show entertainment, nothing else. There's no need for constant belittling. Especially when you're trying to teach an inexperienced person.
Well I mean he goes out of his way to look for bad chefs to shout at. His shows are literally called "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Hell's Kitchen", it'd be a boring show if the people there were actually competent good cooks.
I wish these guys would just squash the beef , see them talking about the old times together , there is greatness in the air when they share the camera and Marco is not even looking at what Gordon is doing because he trusts him as he trusted him with the restaurant when he was out of town and Gordon lived up to the expectation .
This actually explains so much. Gordon's demeanor as portrayed on TV shows is exactly the same as the chefs he trained with. When I heard "Does anyone want to help me? No? You've got better things to do? Then f*** off" I was like "damn, that's the most Gordon Ramsey thing I've ever heard anyone else say".
i wasn't looking at my screen and just assumed Gordon said that until i read your comment lmao, i was like 'damn he had a lot of nerve to be talking like that even back then'
Its crazy that his mentor acts a lot like Gordon acts now. He really did mirror his mentor. Amazing display of the apprentice eventually surpassing the mentor, while too, keeping what he learnt even in his mannerisms.
@@victorunger bye no the restaurant gets the stars and the chef collects them, which is why a chef can have more than 3 stars (because they own multiple michelin star restaurants)

His discipline, focus and respect for someone better than him, who's going out of their way to teach you, is unmatched. Hard to get someone nowadays who's not just up themselves lol
@@misinfotainment8774 What for? Like I said unless you're a trained chef who's on their level in the 1st place you should shut up and listen 'cos you're not better than them. That's what respect is.
It's near impossible to not inherit your mentor's mannerisms while growing your skills in the kitchen. You're constantly goingoingoing and doing everything you can to be perfect, and the only way you can see improvement is by doing exactly what your mentor instructs you to do. You don't stop and you have complete faith in what you're being told because it is a high-stress environment, and the only solace is your mentor's confidence.
He aged so early in life that he essentially never ages. The respect Gordon shows to his teacher is admirable. This can be applicable to anything. If you want to be good at something and become a master of your own, you patiently learn from your teachers instead of being stubborn or constantly nitpicking them this or that, especially when you’re not on their level yet. Gordon Ramsay was a humble student who learned from the people and environment around him, and I know he never took it for granted. Even if he wasn’t too sure he liked some of the stuff his teacher(s) were doing, he kept it to himself (until he decided to leave for solo ventures which caused a feud...reaching a breaking point when Gordon crashed his wedding in 2000). Be like student Gordon. 0:00 I find it amusing that Marco said "Nico in my eyes is a true gourmet...has this great understanding of food" whilst standing in front of Gordon. Little did Marco know, the true gourmet and one who would go on to be a world-renowned chef was literally standing beside him.
I worked at a local pub/ restaurant for a year and a half as a food runner, and I was still under pressure. I can’t imagine what being a chef is like, wayyy too much pressure for me. Such a harsh working environment and honestly one of the toughest jobs in the world so respect to all chefs out there.
Personally and this might just be me, when I'm tasting as I go along it sort of fills me up. They should 100% get appropriate lunch/dinner breaks though!!@@DADDYSGIRL450
im currently 19 chasing my dreams like Gordon once did. I moved to Italy about 4 months ago to persue my passion of cooking, to see him at this age doing the same things I am....it inspires me. I hope to be as good as him some day.
I love that we are having this view of Gordon and have a renewed respect for him on a whole other level. It's like you know a person you like (OR not) but you accidentally found out about his teenage life which gives everything so much more meaning
I actually met Marco, while driving Bolt in Bratislava and drove him to a restaurant here. Such a great guy, didn't realize it was him, until I dropped him off. Had a great conversation with him during the short ride.
This is why he’s so talented, he’s earned his way up. I loved seeing his quiet side and the obvious adoration he had for the chef who was teaching him.
Gordon might be quite cocky and comes off very strong in his later years, but he has quite Literally put in years and years of grueling hard work to Earn the point where is is at now in life. Bravo 👏
he only does that for american TV shows. in real life he doesnt scream like that. watch his UK cooking shows he never does thatb shit. Americans love that drma bullshit so he does it
absolutely 🙌🏼 even tho he can be a douche he knows his food!!! he isn’t just talking out his ass sometimes he really just knows how to cook he’s so passionate i respect him 🙌🏼
This was way more intense than I thought it was gonna be...kinda like watching a Sith Lord and his apprentice. So not used to Gordon not being the one swearing. Not surprised Gordon learned from the best, including the swearing. MPW is a real badass and probably the only person who made Ramsay cry (Marco even hurled sauces at him)! Gordon is a prime example of success. A lot of people want it right away nowadays, but I guarantee you that Gordon NEVER would have expected to be where he is today. He just did what he loves to do, and it translated into success. If more people did what they loved to do passionately rather than try to find things to do in order to be successful, there would be a lot of more successful people. The ‘Stephen’ Marco shouted at was in fact Stephen Terry who went on to gain a Michelin star. And in an odd twist, the restaurant he gained it at (The Walnut Tree in Wales; still open), sometime after he had left, appeared in the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares. Small world!
Even though I never worked at a top tier restaurant I did have an awesome manager at chipotle who taught me everything even the basics but he did such a good job in teaching me to cut food and cleaning after myself while im cooking that those skills stayed with me even after 10 years. I am honestly thankful for what he taught me and did it with a smile and making us laugh even if we fucked up
I wonder if Gordon Ramsay himself has ever seen the short video of himself way back when he was 19 years old and the hairstyle has never changed since then a little longer maybe but still sweet
You see that's how a student should be. Calm. A good listener. Absorb what your teacher says, practice it and then implement it to perfection. Marco did a great job teaching Gordon and Gordon did his best as an amazing student.
Marco Pierre White was a horrifying chef to be your mentor back then, he would verbally lash out at the other chefs, even going so far as to hit them and throw pots and pans at them. He was so intense that he made a young Gordon cry. Gordon said to him while in tears: "Hit me, I don't care"
@@embrace7052 No!! He threw one pan at a chef who reheated risotto instead of making a new one from scratch that day. Reheated rice can cause food poisoning & Marco was furious. when the chef refused to make fresh risotto, MPW Threw the risotto all over him after an argument between them broke out, but that wasn’t a habit. He was good to his staff. He made GR partner before Gordon went his own way.
@@msmilano7091 Oops I didn't know that. I reheat my rice all the time. Also we used to do the same in a restaurant I used to work at. We always kept some cooked rice in the fridge.
Think it's brilliant here how Gordon looks so determined and ready to learn/take in information all the time. You can tell where he got his passion from
around 19-22 I think, cuss he then went to work in France, for a few years before coming back to England and working at aubergine, and after that, he had his little TV series called boiling point which by that time he just opened his own place Gordon Ramsey in Chelsea and in boiling point he would've become the youngest British chef ever to achieve 3 Michelin stars at 31 years of age taking the title from his mentor ironically. spoiler alert -> He didn't win his third 3 star that year.
People going on about Marco's hair, trust me, you would never find a single one of his immaculately clean hairs in his food, it should be of greater concern that virtually everyone in that kitchen smoked, and double dipping with spoons was rampant.
Double dipping with spoons? That's the least of my worries They straight up just stick their fingers in there... the second episode of Marcos show is him and one of his chefs BOTH dipping their fingers TWICE into the same soup and then into their mouth and back into the soup so four times in total xD If they used spoons you could consider yourself lucky.

Not only that he's working on the burners. Literally the only person on it besides Marco. On top of that Marco doesn't say a word to him, barely even looks at him (from what we see in the video) while working. So by that time I'm sure Marco could easily see how confident Gordon was getting with the recipes.
And it's sad cause if I'm not mistaken, Gordon betrayed Marco? It's been a while since I heard the story but it involved a guest list?

Working for free. Peeling onions for 6 hours after a full shift.... Dude put himself through the gauntlet and it really paid off. Massive respect for Gordon and his ability to inspire millions to get into the kitchen and try cooking.

The chef Marco Pierre actually made Gordon cry lol. Marco recalls "No I didn't make Gordon Ramsay cry, he made himself cry. It was his choice to cry"
That's called basic work ethic. No way you can talk back to your boss as a 19 year old apprentice if you actually want to get a job in that area.

When he's yelling at people to shut up and listen it's bc he's been there. He was quiet and he watched and listened. That's how you learn. Props to Gordon. Even more proof he deserves to be where he is.
W comment
Or it's bc he's on TV and shouting at unsuccessful chefs is a good way to make money
Let’s not pretend that near-verbal-abusing your underlings to make entertaining TV makes for good actual craftsmanship or a healthy environment. I’m not saying he’s not great chef,, but you know someone deserves authority when they communicate their needs softly and concisely, without barking like a dog.
You guys just love to dickride Gordon huh?
@@bazbuco I'm pretty sure that even when the cameras aren't rolling they act and proceed the same exact way. So don't make it seem like it's just for the camera.
He’s so quiet, so humble. He’s working efficiently and incredibly focused. It’s very very hard to understand how he got as good as he got. ❤
Seeing Gordon calm is actually therapeutic 💆
i like him on the hotel show too, hes so much goofier
Your mom is therapeutic 🤤
@@awno6627 she is.thanks😊
You should watch the UK versions of his shows (kitchen nightmares uk etc.), it's much calmer and less dramatic than the US versions. I much prefer those than the chaotic and noisy US based shows.
Funny thing is this video wasn't shot for Ramsey. Crazy how they captured him learning without knowing how influential he'd become.

Gordon picked his haircut at 19 and said yup can’t get any better than this. To this day hasn’t changed it. Love it
LOL
based.
Probably views it as part of his image brand at this point or something. Similar to how Bob Ross kept his perm, even though he actually disliked the hair style, because it basically became his trademark look.
i dont think he was actually 19 in this
Had a mow hawk since third grade kept the style ever since with some slight changes
You see how softly Gordon said “Yes” he was so terrified and had so much respect for him
You can tell he's taken a lot of inspiration from his mentor. Sounds and acts almost exactly like him to this day.
I wouldn't say that is always a good thing. If I worked for someone who would constantly berate me and scream at me I'd end up in jail for assault. I don't care how stressful the job might be, it's a kitchen, not the front line of a war. There's no need to pretend you're a drill instructor with all the screaming and threats.
@@EnkiSvohden Agreed
@@EnkiSvohden You got a point, but he is in the buisness longer than some of us are on this planet and if you saw some of the shit people do in the kitchens he helped out at you would know why he is boiling like that. He also gives credit where it's do.
@@WaveTheConqueror Yep, cooks get up to some stupid shit when they think no one is looking/cares
@@EnkiSvohden tell me you aint ever worked a day in your life without telling me
if THIS is what you call "drill instructor" then you couldn't survive in a business that has any form of management at all.
This rather calm for a boss who's trying to meet quotas in minutes rather than days.
and Gordon only yells and shit for the TV.
When marco asked Gordon if they had gone through twice with the pasta you could tell Marco trusted that Gordon was focused enough to know exactly what was going on while marco was talking to the production team. That's why Gordon is where he is today 🤘
I enjoyed that moment as well so much respect
That and the backing of his father-in-law.
That's why? Lmao ok
That’s the reason? Lmao you bellend
Now it’s clear how Ramsey became so fast. He had a frightening drill instructor
This short clip effectively shows how fast and efficient a high level kitchen must operate to consistently put out high quality, top-tier dishes. I love the concentration on all their faces.
and yet for such gruelling work they are generally paid shit wages. No wonder there's such endemic alcoholism and substance abuse within the chef profession. I guess you have to be a die-hard cooking enthusiast to stay within that career. I still don't understand why so many people in the business think it's worth it, though.
@@Taeronai yeah it looks like a shit job I could not do it even if I wanted to. Not worth it
@@Taeronai I think it's the alluring potential of someday being able to open your own restaurant and then make the real 'dough' so to speak.
@@Taeronai you’re right. The pay isn’t good. I know. I did this kind of work in high end kitchens when I was a young lad. I thought I wanted to do this for a living, that is, to become a chef, but it wasn’t for me. They put the young blokes through this to weed out those who are not obsessed with becoming pro cooks on this level. It’s an initiation essentially.
have you tried to grill your own food? its so easy, yet tastes like the best thing in the world.
This is fantastic to see. You can see how Gordon has become a product of both his training and his passion. He teaches the way he was taught, he flares up, excels, and encourages how he does because of his love for food, and he started in a tiny kitchen with barely enough room for the people working in it only to work his way up to where he is now. He's a top chef because he worked his ass off and carried his passion through every step of his life.
Exactly!!👍👍👍
poor soul, where did you bash your head in?
Yeah, if only chef's like him can learn to respect people more in the kitchen. It's already a very stressful job so yelling at each other and calling each other names doesn't help at all really. A leader encourages someone, not tears them down and belittles them. It's a kitchen not the military. I'm sure a lot of the way he acts in the kitchen is more for show but swearing and getting mad at your employees is never professional, I don't care what country you're from. Here in America if you belittle someone in the job you might get your ass kicked whether you are the boss or not.
@@guitarsandcars2586 Part of that is for the show, part of it is because most of the chefs on Hell's Kitchen are people that are supposedly top chef in their kitchens but are screwing up relatively basic things that they should have down pat. Many of them pride themselves as masters of the craft but continuously ruin dishes and can't work together at all.
If you watch Gordon in Master Chef, Master Chef Jr, or Next Level Chef, you see a lot more of his encouragement come out because he's not dealing with people that are supposed to be professional chefs, they're people that are still learning and he's very supportive of them.
@@guitarsandcars2586 Agree completely. Especially when it comes to Gordon Ramsey since he has experience being screamed at with such vitriol that it reduced him to a sobbing mess as he huddled in a corner. After experiencing that kind of pain and humiliation, why would you ever want to inflict that on someone else even if it is played up for a camera?
By the way, the person who reduced Ramsey to that state? Marco Pierre White, the chef who's talking in this very video.
Gorden looks exactly like a 19 yr old with a 30 yrs of work experience.
I love how 24yr old can mentor a 19yr old. cooking is fascinating

3:33 Gordon definitely inherited these mannerisms!
I was just thinking that. I do prefer watching Gordon when he isn't swearing his head off. I think part of it is for show now, especially on some programmes.
If you watch the US version of Kitchen Nighmares vs the UK version there is quite a difference in the way that he talks and behaves. One is dramatic the other is calmer
That's adorable, but also unsettling
@@Kaspleen I noticed that too. He is more handsy and vulgar in the UK ones.
0:56@, Gordon inherited the verbal abuse 🤣
There is no greater compliment for a teacher then to have their student surpass them. Excellent work Sir
I wouldn't say Gordon passed Marco, just took a different route.
What do you mean surpassed? More successful monetarily and business wise? Yes of course, Gordon took a different route in his career and Marco retired early and did his thing. But as a chef? No way! Marco is one of best ever to live and is Gordon's inspirational human.. Despite them falling out. Both are very hot headed driven individuals that managed to clash and push each others buttons lol Gordon crashed Marco's wedding with a film crew without permission! Shit really did hit the fan after that lol
no surpassed yet no
I love more of the fact they developed a love/hate relationship. But they both really respect eachother. Even tho they still jokingly give eachother shit it's like for someone like me in the military I to this day am respectful of my drill sgt even tho at the timehe was a scary mother fucker. But he help make me into who I am today and but I do still shit on him a little bit not because I don't respect him but for fun and more because even tho he kicked my ass at the time he taught me how to be a soldier
Lol he surely never surpassed Marco
TMURPH~BRAVO for posting this video of the Young Chef in the making, Mr. Ramsay and his Young & talented Mentor, Mr. White!!! What a treat!!!
I knew Mr. Ramsay started young but I had no idea his mentor & teacher (Michelin- Star Chef) was within the same age range as him!
Not only fascinating...it blows my mind! Now that's real talent! Mahalo for sharing!~~cc
Love the image of Gordon looking so stressed cooking over the stove. He's really put his heart and soul into cooking and done the very very hard work to become great. He teaches from a place of hard-fought experience.
When Marco asked Gordon if they had gone through the pasta twice, you could tell that Marco truly trusted that Gordon was focused enough on the pasta so he could easily demonstrate the process with the production team. That is why Gordon and Marco are the goats
I thought that was Marco! Never seen him in such old footage.
Feels like Gordon's face aged because he was withholding his anger on these years keeping a silent demeanor. The stress affecting his face wrinkles.
But now that his older he can freely shout and curse releasing all that stress. And his face stopped aging and remained constant.
Marco was on another level. His knowledge and confidence behind the stove was so inspiring

Gordon yells at Chefs who claim to be the best and produce items that aren't the best. Watch him with people that aren't Chefs that say they're the best
You can clearly see how in the zone Gordon is with him. Like automatic movements and muscle memory. He clearly bought in to his teaching. Even in other trades you see these changes and characteristics with future leaders during their training. As a manger in my field I love this when it starts to take shape.
Marco is insanely talented, confident and experienced.... love seeing the old footage of these two in the same room, you hardly ever put them together these days, but you can see where Gordon leaned his craft

@@Mssister00 a little maybe for american tv but not a lot he's a very intense guy and a perfectionist the first documentary I saw him in in the uk was like 20+ years ago and he was still just head chef of his first restaurant and he was pretty harsh on his chefs.
Wow, you can see SO much of Marco Pierre in Gordon. The way he addresses the chefs and talks to them is so Gordon.
A lot of people see Gordon as a “tv chef” and he is much more than that. He put the hours and work in to get where he is today.
He really earned his right to shout eh. He's so focused and respectful, clearly the type of student he want's himself but never seems to get lmao. Can really understand why he loses his temper when everyone is so loud and proud, when really they should be like him and know who's best and learn from them instead of allowing their pride to get in the way.
The difference is that Marco doesn’t have to shout, his looks do enough
I've seen people lower their pride for Gordan, but he just continues to belittle them. It's all for show entertainment, nothing else. There's no need for constant belittling. Especially when you're trying to teach an inexperienced person.
@@sit-insforsithis1568 Marco does plenty of shouting himself though
@@sit-insforsithis1568 if Marco did choose to shout you bet no one is leaving with clean underwear
Well I mean he goes out of his way to look for bad chefs to shout at. His shows are literally called "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Hell's Kitchen", it'd be a boring show if the people there were actually competent good cooks.
I wish these guys would just squash the beef , see them talking about the old times together , there is greatness in the air when they share the camera and Marco is not even looking at what Gordon is doing because he trusts him as he trusted him with the restaurant when he was out of town and Gordon lived up to the expectation .
This actually explains so much. Gordon's demeanor as portrayed on TV shows is exactly the same as the chefs he trained with. When I heard "Does anyone want to help me? No? You've got better things to do? Then f*** off" I was like "damn, that's the most Gordon Ramsey thing I've ever heard anyone else say".
i wasn't looking at my screen and just assumed Gordon said that until i read your comment lmao, i was like 'damn he had a lot of nerve to be talking like that even back then'
It's so weird watching him all quiet.
Its crazy that his mentor acts a lot like Gordon acts now. He really did mirror his mentor. Amazing display of the apprentice eventually surpassing the mentor, while too, keeping what he learnt even in his mannerisms.
Right down to the vocal cadence and style of kitchen crosstalk.
As much as I love Gordon, I don't think he have surpassed Marco, at most they have become equally mentors.
This Gordon kid seems to have a great and complex understanding of food and how it works. I’m sure one day he’ll open a Michelin star restaurant!

@@misinfotainment8774 What for? Like I said unless you're a trained chef who's on their level in the 1st place you should shut up and listen 'cos you're not better than them. That's what respect is.
It's near impossible to not inherit your mentor's mannerisms while growing your skills in the kitchen. You're constantly goingoingoing and doing everything you can to be perfect, and the only way you can see improvement is by doing exactly what your mentor instructs you to do. You don't stop and you have complete faith in what you're being told because it is a high-stress environment, and the only solace is your mentor's confidence.
Watching Gordon in this video is seeing his past and his future at the same time
He aged so early in life that he essentially never ages. The respect Gordon shows to his teacher is admirable. This can be applicable to anything. If you want to be good at something and become a master of your own, you patiently learn from your teachers instead of being stubborn or constantly nitpicking them this or that, especially when you’re not on their level yet. Gordon Ramsay was a humble student who learned from the people and environment around him, and I know he never took it for granted. Even if he wasn’t too sure he liked some of the stuff his teacher(s) were doing, he kept it to himself (until he decided to leave for solo ventures which caused a feud...reaching a breaking point when Gordon crashed his wedding in 2000). Be like student Gordon.
0:00 I find it amusing that Marco said "Nico in my eyes is a true gourmet...has this great understanding of food" whilst standing in front of Gordon. Little did Marco know, the true gourmet and one who would go on to be a world-renowned chef was literally standing beside him.

This is a wise statement from our great dictators !
I worked at a local pub/ restaurant for a year and a half as a food runner, and I was still under pressure. I can’t imagine what being a chef is like, wayyy too much pressure for me. Such a harsh working environment and honestly one of the toughest jobs in the world so respect to all chefs out there.
I think the worst part is chefs are literally starving most of the day and then forced to work around food without being able to eat 😢

dont give up! ^^
Goodluck dude!may you achieve your dream someday!
Make sure to make ur restaurant bigger so that my whole family can fit
Just make sure you can make a grilled cheese right
I love that we are having this view of Gordon and have a renewed respect for him on a whole other level. It's like you know a person you like (OR not) but you accidentally found out about his teenage life which gives everything so much more meaning
More perspective.
Read his autobiography, it's great. It provides even more context for what he would have been going thru during this video.
I actually met Marco, while driving Bolt in Bratislava and drove him to a restaurant here. Such a great guy, didn't realize it was him, until I dropped him off. Had a great conversation with him during the short ride.
Cool to see that he has always been on top of the game since he was a teenager
This ability to appreciate a tough mentor while being an apprentice is becoming a lost art
This is why he’s so talented, he’s earned his way up. I loved seeing his quiet side and the obvious adoration he had for the chef who was teaching him.

absolutely 🙌🏼 even tho he can be a douche he knows his food!!! he isn’t just talking out his ass sometimes he really just knows how to cook he’s so passionate i respect him 🙌🏼
He was never a teenager He was born middle aged and angry
This was way more intense than I thought it was gonna be...kinda like watching a Sith Lord and his apprentice. So not used to Gordon not being the one swearing. Not surprised Gordon learned from the best, including the swearing. MPW is a real badass and probably the only person who made Ramsay cry (Marco even hurled sauces at him)! Gordon is a prime example of success. A lot of people want it right away nowadays, but I guarantee you that Gordon NEVER would have expected to be where he is today. He just did what he loves to do, and it translated into success. If more people did what they loved to do passionately rather than try to find things to do in order to be successful, there would be a lot of more successful people.
The ‘Stephen’ Marco shouted at was in fact Stephen Terry who went on to gain a Michelin star. And in an odd twist, the restaurant he gained it at (The Walnut Tree in Wales; still open), sometime after he had left, appeared in the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares. Small world!
Honestly
That’s a great description
Even though I never worked at a top tier restaurant I did have an awesome manager at chipotle who taught me everything even the basics but he did such a good job in teaching me to cut food and cleaning after myself while im cooking that those skills stayed with me even after 10 years. I am honestly thankful for what he taught me and did it with a smile and making us laugh even if we fucked up

Its been said at birth Gordon cut his own umbilical cord and served it over a bread of rice
You see that's how a student should be. Calm. A good listener. Absorb what your teacher says, practice it and then implement it to perfection. Marco did a great job teaching Gordon and Gordon did his best as an amazing student.
Marco Pierre White was a horrifying chef to be your mentor back then, he would verbally lash out at the other chefs, even going so far as to hit them and throw pots and pans at them. He was so intense that he made a young Gordon cry.
Gordon said to him while in tears: "Hit me, I don't care"

@@embrace7052 No!! He threw one pan at a chef who reheated risotto instead of making a new one from scratch that day.

19 years old and he still looks like the oldest guy in the room.
😂😂
If you're going to learn from a master then Marco is one of the best you could work under.
Gordon was 22 or 23 here. He only started working for Marco at 20.
around 19-22 I think, cuss he then went to work in France, for a few years before coming back to England and working at aubergine, and after that, he had his little TV series called boiling point which by that time he just opened his own place Gordon Ramsey in Chelsea and in boiling point he would've become the youngest British chef ever to achieve 3 Michelin stars at 31 years of age taking the title from his mentor ironically. spoiler alert ->
He didn't win his third 3 star that year.
