Amen. as a saute chef of 20 years so far I can say the hardest thing is consistency. it is incredibly overlooked how difficult it is to make something exactly the same for the course of 20 years in such a chaotic fast paced sweltering hot environment. it is human nature to seek out a short cut. develop bad habits. etc. the discipline is where half of the stress comes from. when you're selling a plate for $30, the customer will tell you if it is not up to par.
@@hillehaiHe’s 100% describing the work as a chef and further more a Michelin star chef. You’d cry yourself to sleep if you had worked in his kitchen for a day
He won 3 Michelin stars and was the youngest British chef to do he can do whatever the fuck he wants! He's a culinary genius and like the Roux in the 70's he carved the way for success for so many chefs in the 80's early 90's! If he wants to retire and sell stock cubes then he's certainly fucking earned it!
See now my reply wasn't even to you Robert Gash. My reply was to someone who said "Well you know what they say about a fool & his money". That comment has been deleted by whoever posted it. But you have a nice day now.
the funniest thing to happen to me was watching my granny secretly putting a stock cube(not knorr's, but a stock cube nontheless) in a stew. she told me that it gave the stew a completely different flavour, and she also told me to keep it as a secret lol
Folks are like being a brand ambassador is the most serious crime against humanity or something. We tend to forget that back in the days, being able to score such deals is one way to prove that a chef has "made it" as a well-known personality. And whether we like it or not, artificial flavor enhancers will always have a place in normal home cooking. And Marco even returned his Michelin stars before he started doing brand deals.
*"Firstly, I'm allowed to make a living. I have a family; I have my children. I have to create security for them, and I have to feed them."* --Marco is moral.
@@tomhidley6763 He's also a restaurateur, which means he has to pay: - *Salaries* to ALL of his cooks, ALL around the world and retain the best talent through bonuses, vacations and perks. - *RENT* at all of his establishments. - *Insurance* fees at all of his businesses. - *Utilities* (water, electricity, cleaning, upkeep, maintenance, supplies, etc.) - *Advertising* - *Lawyers* (never-ending lawsuits, actions, gripes, thievery, contests, litigations, etc.) - *Regulations* (on average, small business owners spend $12,000 on regulations compliance every year.) - *License fees* at ALL of his interests around the world. This is the small list of what the average business owner has to pay just to operate. *Marco is FIERCE!*
Dosent translate to reality though his pubs are abysmal and he has ruined several small local spots, in replacing them his own brand "gastropubs"were abject failures some shutting down within a matter of weeks.
+Nautilus1972 maybe, maybe not. He just made it seem as though when you've gotten those 3 stars, you were a slave to a cause in retaining them since the journey of gaining them was over.
Marco is a great speaker, very cautious, calm and nice. I love the way he talks and compose himself even if hes angry u cant tell from the expression of his face. Love u Marco!!!
Marco, for all his pomp and ceremony when he speaks, is one of very few men left who actually bothers to think before he opens his mouth. Every answer has been given a due amount of thought and attention, and one knows that if he didn't want to answer a particular question, he wouldn't. Nor would he be apologetic about not answering it. We should all take a leaf from his book.
The man comes off damn near like a philosopher. Quite an incredible sight. You "master" an art or a craft, whatever it is, it seems you gain a tremendous amount of wisdom that can be applied to many facets of life.
Maybe the thinkers are the ones who become masters at their art. Their craft is a manifestation of their proclivity to question and become wise. A special and rare alignment when talent and focus are added.
Think it was Musashi who said: “he who masters one thing masters everything” And he would know, being the greatest swordsman , and then a great artist and poet
There really does seem to be something to being a master and having overall wisdom yes. Maybe an innate desire to strive for greatness also leads to a desire to strive for overall understanding
So annoying how this lady isn’t following up on what he says. She’s not listening to him. She’s got her questions ready, just waits for him to finish and then continues to ask her question. Poor
Seeing Marco do recipes with stock cubes and sometimes more common ingredients helped me A LOT. I am VERY new to cooking. Looking to move away from boxed and frozen things all the time, but I also can’t afford the absolute highest end stuff I see some people use. If cubes are good for Marco, good enough for me
I also recommend the one where he's with Tony Bourdain. One is on Parts Unknown and another is the two of them together being interviewed i think. 2 legends
people are talking about his speech and confidence, but of course he has them. Working 18 hours a day from his twenties til older ages, working for free as a 16 year old just to garner experience and training, and being on hundreds of interviews and night shows will do that to you.
Truly can't imagine what it must be like trying to hang onto 3 stars, demanding perfection of yourself and everyone around you. We're just humans afterall. So glad he's moved into a new phase where he can share of himself and make a much-needed difference in the lives of ordinary people.
The man stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the best chefs of the 20th century. He mentored Gordon Ramsay (his influence is quite obvious even now. He still says big boy for Christ's sake). And when you can cook a 3 star dinner that people will pay a months rent for us commoners you can pretty much endorse who you like and not give a flying fuck.
Marco has achieved a level of enlightenment most of us could only dream of attaining. And thank you for asking him about the Knorr stock pots.... I had been wondering why he would have done all those videos and also thought he sold out... but he's absolutely right about how he is allowed to earn a living.
I just discovered Marco but I have to say this man is just beyond next level. I thought Gordon was hardcore but Marco is amazing. Tough but a true gentleman. Respect to the GOAT
It's irresponsible ans shameful. NO kitchen needs industrial ingredients in the form of a stock-cube made out of Salt, MSG, hydrogenated oils and palm oils... Do you get it?

This man taught me you can work miracles with a stock cube. All seriousness, I could listen to this man talk all day. You forget you're listening to a chef talk. He is a very intelligent amd very interesting person to listen to
He did say he is being judge by people who is less knowledgeable than him. That offers little merit and that gave him the courage to walk away from the Michelin. Enriching people thru knorr, Marco is my hero.
Marco you are a humble man and you acknowledged the fact people will naturally associate 3 star michelin star restaurants with expensive unaffordable food, you have and will continue to accomplish great things by overcoming your business desires, you teach everyone a good attitude towards life
felt like every sentence he was trying so hard just to not let rip at her. some might not realise what a reputation and pedigree this guy has. He schooled most of the celebrity chefs who worked under him at Harvey's. A major ball-buster of the highest order.
I don't understand how anyone can criticize Marco and call him a sellout? He gave back his 3 stars and put his Michelin Star days behind him years ago. While admittedly, his videos are advertisement for Knorr or Bernard Matthews, I still get more inspiration and learn more from watching them than almost any show on the Foodnetwork.
One of my favorite people on the planet. I love listening to the man. He has a refined elegance about him. He's as much a philosopher as he is an a great chef.
I'm glad I read some of the comments. For whatever reason, I never encountered MPW until just last week. TH-cam's algorithm threw up one of his Knorr videos (Boeuf Bourguignon with Wild Mushrooms) on my page. I was entranced. Yes...he uses the Knorr stockpot. What's far better is that he imparts his knowledge in the kitchen and about cooking to you if you're willing to observe and listen seriously. He's also a gentleman of the first class...and sadly, we have so few these days. I'm thinking of making the Boeuf Bourguignon for Christmas. Thank you, Chef!
That was awesome. Too bloody right old boy. Every man that brings bread home for the family in my book is a man that can hold his head high. All the best to him.
Respect to a guy who strives to be the best, then once he gets there has the balls to say "fuck this I'm gonna do whatever I want". Didn't let the pressure to keep performing run him down over years, expanded his horizons and really did evolve. Kudos to this mad lad
+matmc71 He will always be a 3 star chef. He was given the stars and no one took them from him! He chose to give them back. You can't take away what this man has achieved!
I know people make fun of the fact that he represents Knnor but in reality his recipes there take elevated cooking to the masses which is what it's about. Look at any of those cooks and you realize that you can leave out the stock pot or replace it with any other brand of bullion and it's fine.
It's especially scary how he's the most intimidating when he lowers his voice, like a cold-blooded killer, very intentional and deliberate, no bluffing
He talks about selling at a good price point that people can afford but one of his pubs received massive criticism because he sold beers at £5 a pint, his response was every other pub is too cheap and people are paying for the atmosphere.

He talks about selling at a good price point that people can afford but one of his pubs received massive criticism because he sold beers at £5 a pint, his response was every other pub is too cheap and people are paying for the atmosphere.
I am a Chef and he is directly right. Thats the love of mother nature.
This guy is fantastic, love that he is so in touch with his youth, a pub with his touch with food is crazy to think on.
His voice is so soothing 😍
