I was a head chef in a very ordinary kitchen , my supplier of goods got me a few shifts at Aubergine, she knew Gordon and asked kindly on my behalf and explained my reasons,it just got its first Michelin star, I just wanted too experience what it was like too work in a Michelin star Resteraunt, Marcus was his sous chef , and was an incredibly kind, mild mannered, polite person and was a real Gentleman, Gordon was also polite and well spoken , but come service Gordon changed dramatically and turned into a Tyrant , but I still remember the perfection, Lobster ravioli, sea bass with vanilla foam , prune and Arminiac soufflés, but I remember mostly Marcus , such a nice , kind , intelligent Chef , and I realised I’d never be a Michelin chef .great Pod cast too , very interesting questions and in depth .
Just a riveting conversation on every level. So many chefs are media trained to death, spinning obvious talking points to protect their brand. Marcus seemed so comfortable being his authentic self, letting it all hang out. He's embracing new ideas and opportunities with no interest in resting on his laurels. Bravo to the hosts too. Their listening skills are amazing- the reason why this interview was so engrossing. Much appreciated!
I have been a chef now for 14 years, currently head chef, trying to shake off this "imposter" mindset, reevaluting my career and road ahead, and this interview, without a doubt has given me serious food for thought, big respect Chef Marcus
One of the best examples of these interviews. Eloquent, informative and humble. An individual to aspire to emulate who offers REAL life advice as well as professional in a hard industry to navigate
I've been a Chef for 23 years. This man has inspired me from day one, particularly now as he is older wiser and more learned. Great interview, thank you Chef.. thank you guys. 🙏
absolutely loved this podcast, i only lasted one episode on marcus and the worst feeling was screwing up on skills test and marcus saying come on darren i know you can make a mayonnaise and cook was amazing and then his harsh criticisms of my signature dish was the best thing for my career and has helped shape me going forward as a chef !! being told your not skilled enough to do a dish is crushing but sometimes we need knocking down to reality to build ourselves to where we want to be but with realism of where your actually at!! marcus and gordon were always my idols growing up as a chef and still are now!!!
I am not in the world of cooking myself, Im a musician. But I've taken so much from his words. Really inspiring to me. I remember watching Boiling Point (2000) and thinking he is such a great person, and it is brilliant to hear his story. What a humble guy. Him saying he aspires to be a better cook, to never stop learning. Wow. Truly inspiring.
I agree with Marcus' key characteristic to success or high performance. The key is the effort that you put into to achieve your goal. I have average mental capabilities and did not have the same opportunities at school as others. But, I learned during my last two years of university that I can be top of the class when I dedicate myself completely to be the best.
Down to earth, great personality, great chef. Lot more things to learn from him. Thank you chef for sharing your experiences with pack full of knowledge.
Marcus is my favourite of all the top chefs. What a great guy. So professional in his life. I am ex military and have many issues with people i work with who don't give a shit about the job. If everyone just applied themselves with passion and care we would all have better experiences in life. Great Chefs are very much like Soldiers in their mindset and that's what makes them special. Stevie in Scotland.
I always loved Marcus as a chef, and really enjoyed all his tv stuff, but what an insight into a genuinely decent man this podcast provided - Thank you.
I LOVE this! I've been a Gordon Ramsay fan (and critic) for a LONG TIME! I think I've watched just about everything he's got on TV. I've BECOME a Marco Pierre White fan, gradually, knowing his relationship with Gordon Ramsay, and now the next generation, Marcus Wareing, and the HONESTY about Gordon Ramsay just sums up. A lot of people only have negative opinions of Gordon Ramsay, but I've looked at him through a different lens, that of "tough love", although I think a lot of his programs are just self-promotional. I love Marcus giving a 3rd party view.
Loved this podcast. Marcus Wareing is an inspirational chef & person. He lives his life & makes sure that his experiences are a benchmark for young chefs to set their goals by. He is never afraid of hard work & has shown that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. Just don't expect it to happen overnight! The well thought out questions helped draw out so much from Marcus and created smooth transitions that enabled him to tell his story with incredible flow & ease. Thank you.
Marcus Wareing has always impressed me dedicated, hard working, common sense, intelligent he is very inspirational and doesn't take any crap...he is a good influence and would be a good companion to build you up I think.
Happy to say I was one of those 'characters' in his brothers kitchen at the Scarisbrick Hotel, some great times there with Brian HC & Richard SC. Could tell from the outset Marcus was going to be the man he is now, so driven in everything he did, pretty sure he never lost in the ring either. Well done ,'Chief ' 👏👏👏👏👏
Only just listening to this now but Marcus’ appearance on this podcast has confirmed what I’ve known for ages about myself but I’ve procrastinated for too long. Time to make the jump. Thanks for picking the brains of a genius and bringing this to my attention.
Just an incredible,grafting,family man,who has risen to the very top in his profession. Brutally honest,even about himself;outstanding interview. Never mind about getting Gordon on,what you need to do is get Marcus's dad on,we could all learn from him. Loved the final comment about phones too.....so so true in so many ways. Great podcast gents.👏👏
Well said That "honesty" led him to a restaurant empire of his own, Michelin Star and a great family, given massive opportunities to the young kids coming up So well done Marcus
This podcast is a goldmine. I am in no way connected to the culinary world, but the applicability of Marcus's life lessons almost seems industry agnostic, which makes it even more brilliant.
Wow what a wonderful show i happened to come upon.. Love how Marcus speaks from the heart and personal experience and to hear him praise and admire a fellow Chef like Gordon Ramsay is so nice.
I love Marcus. He's an incredible chef and human being. When I look at his face. It's just so beautiful I see innocence in his eyes & the light of God coming right thru him
I only ever see Marcus Wareing on Masterchef UK, and I gotta say, seeing him speaking in a longform format was really refreshing. Good lad that Marcus.
Probably my favourite HPP so far! Always been a big fan of Marcus given his work ethic and achievements. Some very powerful messages in here that I'll be sharing with friends and colleagues.
Always been intimidated by Marcus. Scared to work for him. 20 years later I’m smiling ear to ear. How he’s changed and how inspiring he is in a different manor from years back.
Brilliant interview and brilliant man. For me the most important thing said in the entire pod was the very last comment. The detrimental impact the distraction of a smart phone and lack of focus can have. We are at a turning point in humanity in my opinion with these things. Those who can control those urges/habits will dominate and those who can't will have very little.
As i very staunch GR fan i have to sY i admire this man immensely! He is s very self aware man who loves being nice. I was very fortunate enough to have been given his latest Cook Book for my BD in October, its fab. Thank you Marcus.
Really enjoyed this. Great insight. The only thing that miffed me was one of the non-negotiables was "I am what I am, I won't chsnge" and a piece of advice to a young chef was "don't change" but minutes before that Marcus talked of having to change because it matters how people perceived him...
I get the sense that Marcus was more trying to say, don't ask someone to change - they have to recognise, as he did, when they need to change how they act within themselves. But at the root, don't change your core values - something he seems to have had ingrained from his father.
People always come up with sound bites like that. But, it never ever conveys the complexity nuance . Every soundbite is sometimes true sometimes not, and not absolutely true, the sense of these quotes is not meant to be adopted completely for every instance of life
I grew up in the same road as Marcus Wareing and used to deliver the Southport Star for five years down the street and neighbouring road. The family Doberman scared me when it barked behind the gates but then I was scared of dogs anyway. He used to do a lot of running around the block in the late eighties while I was stood on the street corner eating chips from Papas Fritas ( legendary chip shop). I knew he was a boxer. Moving to London was brave and the rest is history. He is right about slipping through the net and education. I won't elaborate on my first hand knowledge of the system except to say UK education is broken. There are many reasons for this but leadership is a critical issue. If every school had an Alex Ferguson or similar in charge there would be a commitment to excellence woven in the fabric and the impact on life chances would be transformative. Stanley High School in Southport had a poor reputation in the 1980s. There is a culture of low expectations in many schools yet many teachers think they are the best thing since sliced bread. Obviously no link between low expectations/poor teaching and the eight million adults in Britain who are functionally illiterate.
Amazing podcast! Love the insights about how it all works but the honesty is amazing about life itself. Thanks again for sharing that with us, I can definitely take things on board for my own future!
I'm the son of a fruit and veg man just like Marcus. The hours mentioned are spot on. 12 hour day on your half day. You're not coming into this business - been there for sure. Great great interview.
that was inspired...what a Man.............top fella and thanks for the insight of life. Wow God loves a winner and you are the dogs "naughty words"... a fine man
49:44 Completely agree as both a professional cook and A liverpool fan Notice the difference in them without him, his management talent was phenomenal irrespective of who you support
Honesty is one sign of a good chef. Unlike Ramsay, who has lied, manipulated, and hogged the camera for decades, this chef has emerged as a true leader and elder statesman of cookery. We should all be so focused and mentally tough.
I was sat in the staff canteen at my workplace when my colleague, sat opposite us, flashed up on the advert for MasterChef professionals having told no one 😂 never forget that moment
Fantastic interview, I did not know Marcus boxed.. super.. and great insight into Marcus...well done.. also The best chef I have ever seen on Master chef Professional ( Either with Marcus or MIchel Jr..) was Craig Johnson, an unbeliveable chef, 21 at the time .His apple desert was the most amazing creation under pressure and delivered impecibally, even with the pressure of using the dry ice to solidify that boozy calvados ice cream and the presssure of that.... to the Michelin stared chefs, at the chef's table, and for Marcus to recongise this so early in that season was brilliant, shows you how marcus sees talent.. He now is a brilliant chef working for Marcus... his best diamond in the rough... by far and I have seen every season. fFr Marcus to call Craig a natural chef, not a trained chef was a true statement, but I would think inspite of Master Chef, Craig would have made it , since he was working in a gastropub 1 star michelin place... for us as viewers it was great to see his head chef believed in him and advised him to enter the competition... just brilliant..
For a guy who never worked under Marco Pierre White you can see how Marcus inherited Marco’s über chef DNA via Gordon Ramsay. Total focus and then some.
To me the brilliance in Marcus is akin to Marco Pierre White, a chef who’s entire being is wrapped up and embodied in their passion for cooking and skill for their craft. As opposed to Gordon (who’s just a straight bully in the kitchen there’s no two ways about it), someone like Marcus inspires those around him to achieve the same standard of excellence by simply how much he enjoys what he does. Attitude is infectious, people are much more likely to follow how you lead by example as opposed to just what you tell them to do.
lol your reference to Gordon as a bully in the kitchen, I guess you’ve not worked in professional kitchens because the nice as pie chefs you see on tv, even Marcus, I can guarantee you are absolute ball busters in the kitchen just like Gordon. I would put my house on it
Gordon Ramsay measures(not everything but probably alot) success in external validation. But hearing Marco and Marcus, they discovered that internal success triumphs external success.
What a load of nonsense, Marco was way worse than Gordon. He yelled and threw things at people, you call Gordon a bully but more people would say that about Marco
I’ve been a chef for 43 years,seen some of the great and good and some seriously nasty chefs,in my opinion the reason a chef like Marcus has and got 2 stars was hard hard work The reason he didn’t get 3 stars is simple.there are only a few chefs that have it,the real mustard,and he hasn’t. And he knows it I love watching his life as a chef I’ve eaten at his 2 star I’ve been impressed but not wowed ever He is a super soldier of a chef trained at the top by the top but the truth is we all find out how good we are very early on I love his honesty What a great interview
@@bamburestaurant663I think that’s very harsh , I’ve worked with them both albeit for a very short amount of time , but that third star is not just about the cooking , it’s also front of house , ambiance etc and I think as a Chef Marcus is up there with the very best of them .
@@petrus666love I’m not trying to be harsh I’m trying to say this,only the very few have the magic that make us all want to copy try and be like them,Marcus is one of the very lucky people who have gotten to see first hand how the genius chefs work and for a very long time,in my opinion he was a fantastic number two I get why he now has a life,he is what he is a very nice man a quality chef,there’s no bile from me
You've barely scratched the surface there. I started counting the words he mispronounced last season but soon found it was easier to count the words he _didn't_ mispronounce 😆
Is this a UK thing? To say "man management"? I've not heard this expression in Australia. We simply say "management" or "staff management" or "HR" or "leadership". I've heard this "man management" in, for example, Hotel Inspector. (Which I also enjoy). "Man" is already in "management'. Seems odd. (Like the Americans saying "horseback riding" instead of horse riding" - LOL). Luv Marcus. Luv Gordon. What a FANTASTIC interview. Great work, High Performance

One of the best interviews I've seen in years. Blown awat by the honesty and wisdom.
Seems like a really nice, genuine guy who would encourage young chefs rather than berate them

Just quite simply "The Business"... Thank You Marcus...and the Team
Late to party but outstanding this.
Never knew Marcus's backstory with Ramsay, very interesting listen.
One of the best on HP.
13:56sec Thats strikingly similar to the story that marco pierre white tells at the oxford union talk he did. (also on youtube)

I won't elaborate on my first hand knowledge of the system except to say UK education is broken. There are many reasons for this but leadership is a critical issue. If every school had an Alex Ferguson or similar in charge there would be a commitment to excellence woven in the fabric and the impact on life chances would be transformative.

Obviously no link between low expectations/poor teaching and the eight million adults in Britain who are functionally illiterate.
That was a tremendous interview, very inspiring, such good advice - a strong work ethic and good values, won’t go far wrong.
Makes my skin crawl reading your comment.
Far wrong you or him?
As a child Marcus always stood out for me on food programs . No wonder why
What a level of self-awareness and insight Marcus has.
Amazing podcast! Love the insights about how it all works but the honesty is amazing about life itself. Thanks again for sharing that with us, I can definitely take things on board for my own future!
A great man he came and visited me in hospital after I was in injured in a terrorist attack and gave me some great advice which I hold on to dearly.
Enjoyed that. I quite like him 😊
I'm the son of a fruit and veg man just like Marcus. The hours mentioned are spot on. 12 hour day on your half day. You're not coming into this business - been there for sure. Great great interview.

Absolute legend shame he didn't get his 3rd star for me he is up with the best and he seems like a wise man as well
I’ve been a chef for 43 years,seen some of the great and good and some seriously nasty chefs,in my opinion the reason a chef like Marcus has and got 2 stars was hard hard work
The reason he didn’t get 3 stars is simple.there are only a few chefs that have it,the real mustard,and he hasn’t. And he knows it
I love watching his life as a chef
I’ve eaten at his 2 star
I’ve been impressed but not wowed ever
He is a super soldier of a chef trained at the top by the top but the truth is we all find out how good we are very early on

You have to be exceptional to get three stars you don’t just get it through hard work

hoping there will b more chefs on the podcast in the near future, i loved every bit of it.
Yes certainly something we’re on!
me too its a different word.
Brilliant 👏💪👊
Very Good!
Words that Marcus Wareing mispronounces on ‘Masterchef’: almond, bain-marie, celeriac, chipotle, consommé, croquette, espresso, gelatinous, Indonesian, juniper, kirsch, plantain, turmeric, unctuous, welcome
Big fucking deal eh!
Doesn't seem to have hindered his career does it....
Have you got 3 Michelin stars???
@@richieharkness5535 Why? Does he have a degree in English?
@@richieharkness5535 You sound triggered, mate. Would you like me to call you a waaaaaaambulance?
You've barely scratched the surface there. I started counting the words he mispronounced last season but soon found it was easier to count the words he _didn't_ mispronounce 😆
@@richieharkness5535 Aww, diddums
Great interview!
Legend 💪
Very impressive man
You Guys also Rock!!!!!!!
Is this a UK thing? To say "man management"? I've not heard this expression in Australia. We simply say "management" or "staff management" or "HR" or "leadership". I've heard this "man management" in, for example, Hotel Inspector. (Which I also enjoy). "Man" is already in "management'. Seems odd. (Like the Americans saying "horseback riding" instead of horse riding" - LOL). Luv Marcus. Luv Gordon. What a FANTASTIC interview. Great work, High Performance
