@@imhereforfun1 "Absorbing" means to take something into one's being. So it's still correct, as Chef Ramsay, in this footage, is "absorbing" knowledge and experience from his peers.
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.
@@Rick_ClelandDo they really look like they’re on drugs to you? They were very young and already successful, very unlikely that would be the case if they were drugged up and drunk all the time 😂

Your facial structure is largely fixed by the time ur 19. The changes at that point are too minor to be noticed and the ones that are noticing are a product of deteoriating.
Gordon is the embodiment of how the student becomes the master, he learned and listened first before he tried his own thing and then when he did he made sure it was to perfection.
With gordon he also understands that despite being a master he can still learn. Thats what i appreciate because when i was previously in culinary school it was mind boggling how chefs teaching didnt seem interested in learning things from me because i was the only vegan student. Only one chef was and he was honest when he tried my stuff. He was a head chef at the Whitehouse for a previous president (either nixon or regan) and i loved that despite all his experiences and expertise he wanted to learn and collaborate and expand alongside his students so we all grew
@@user-kh7fh2sb6t Have you seen the people he needs to give info to? Lol chefs who are refusing to listen bc they think their way is the best way. Or chefs who can't follow simple instructions. Anyone would yell lol
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.
It’s so strange seeing Gordon so silent and stoic knowing what he’ll later become. Plus it’s interesting to see who he got his sharp edge from. Good stuff.
Some people may think it’s crazy that we have a video like this of such a young Gordon. This is about the chef Marco. Gordon just happened to be one of his most famous students captured on camera.
@Soridan It was a little while ago but that doesn't mean Marco is as popular as Ramsey is, I mean when people hear about Ramsey, they don't think about Marco
@@drvoltage9792 You're arguing against a point that wasn't made. Ramsey being more popular right now is irrelevant when his presence in this video from his apprentice days has him in it only incidentally. The point was that the footage is a happy little accident, and not a result of Ramsey being noteworthy when this footage was shot. Yes, he overshadowed Marco. He's better known. Nobody argued he wasn't. edit: also that "little while ago" is nearly 40 years.
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.
Seeing him so quiet is a full 180 from where he is now you could tell tho that he’s there to learn he listens carefully and is fully concentrated plus the fact that everyone got yelled at or scolded except him shows that he’s in the zone
Not only that, but I feel like Marco's surprised reaction at 1:30 of the dough already being finished ("Oh, we're finished? I didn't realise, has it gone through twice?") is as close to high praise as you'll get from a chef in the kitchen.
No Marco would make Gordon cry. Gordon is quiet because he was heavily abused at home, and then by Marco. This is only his nice face for the camera but Gordon goes on to say that Marco's tantrums in the kitchen made his antics look like a holiday. Scary.
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.
Gordon learnt under some of the best chefs in the world, including Marco who was the youngest Michelin Star recipient, who also gave his stars back because he couldn't maintain the passion. Anyone who apprentices under Gordon should be extremely fortunate and grateful.
I'm a big Gordon fan. I loved his home cooking series; I learnt a lot from it. It's the efficiency that I admire most, no wasted energy, everything is precise and controlled.
@prn_97_ really?!? Not sure about your dumbass, but I had a job at 14, permit at 15, and bought my first car at 16 (in 97, gas was a dollar a gallon). VW rabbit deisel stick shift hatchback. You are probably a child, and I'm sure your parents bought your first car.. you probably still live with them..
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.
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.
I always remember an episode of Kitchen Nightmares where Gordon asks a cook why he's lazy. The cook tells him, "Maybe if I were making as much money as you I'd want to work more." And Gordon looks unimpressed and says, "When I was your age there weren't enough hours in the day for me to work." He really started from the bottom. Respect.
@@paracame8162 "Gordon Ramsey is currently an Executive Chef, which is a title you can obtain at around the 15 year mark of becoming a certified chef. In another 10 years, he will be eligible to try for a Master Chef certification, though there is no guarantee he will succeed since it is incredibly difficult. The American Culinary Foundation would probably give him an easier certification process, because he is famous but I highly doubt that, considering you have to impress three master chefs who would, more than likely, have incredibly high standards. It's almost impossible to obtain a Master Chef title. Look it up."
It's crazier to me that Marco is only in his late 20's in this video. I'm 31 and Marco seems so much older here than I am now - not just physical appearance, but presence, maturity, and stature.
You can tell that Gordon’s soft-spoken quality in this video isn’t because he’s intimidated or shy. It’s because he is so intently listening and learning. You can tell he has crazy respect for his teachers. He’s a real one, and he definitely deserves to be able to talk to idiots today like they deserve.
@@-sanju-thats what I was gonna say, if he was a dick he’d have been sued a hundred times already by ex employees. He’s pretty friendly and fun in other situations, including in his own show out of kitchen
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.
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.
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.
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 🤘
@@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.
What's crazy is that they're both kids here. Marco is only around 6 years older than Gordon. It's amazing to have someone who learned so much at such a young age express that knowledge on another kid who is willing to listen. This is how great chefs are made. Despite Gordon's yelling on TV, he's actually a very genuine, patient, and passionate chef in real life as long as his underlings are willing to listen and put in the effort. I believe he learned this from Marco.
hes only angry because he is passionate about his craft and knows what he has to offer, when the people hes trying to teach cant accept him as a teacher and listen its clearly frustrating
@@ezhno7137 25 is relatively young my friend. Here in the army being 18 to 30 and dying in combat is considered young asf. Imagine dying at the age of 25 your friends and family will say he was so young and had so much life to live.
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.
He looks like a chill dude, he should definitely keep at it, who knows maybe one day he’ll become a very good Chef who takes some apprentices under his wing and teach them in a very calm manner, speaking them softly and never once raising his voice.
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
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.
Now we all know where his mannerisms in the kitchen came from. He just observed, listened, and learned on how to be efficient in the kitchen and just did as he is told. Dude really worked hard and used everything he learned during his time as an apprentice.
Ayo Sun Tzu!! Big fan man. The grounds are accessible, entrapping, stalemated, narrow, steep and expensive. Your birthday is coming soon, when are we smoking pot?
i entered the culinary world at 16 with absolutely no prior training or experience whatsoever, boy was i in for a ride😅 i was just a prep cook but they threw me into appetizers and desserts station and seeing the chefs work so hard and fast on theirs was amazing. i had to work the station alone one night on the busiest day of the week, ill never complain about how long the food is taking ever again😭 everytime i get swampped with tickets at my current job i get flashbacks and remember how i powered through it😂
I have an Atlas Pasta maker and I’ve rolled the dough and made spaghetti and fettuccine pasta from scratch. It’s a rewarding but also tedious process. I can’t imagine actually trying to make and use it under such pressure in a limited amount of time. This chefs are just different creaturesz
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. 🙌
@@sawmill035 both men are significantly more obnoxious than this in other videos, it's just that they're together here, in their formative years. Both men go way beyond a bit of lively cussing into bullying and spiteful and vindictive behaviour. I don't want to eat anything they've prepared.
@@dna9838 Clearly you need to be told off a bit more if you consider Ramsey a bully and vindictive. You have no concept of what those words mean. One can be strict and hold other to high standards -- and yes, even yell and cuss -- without being a bully. I know this doesn't jive with your opinion, but it's true.
I love how Gordon is constantly busy, but also laser focused on priority. He’s efficiently working on the task in front of him, but also listening carefully for any new information from the chef. I love how he immediately starts cutting the pieces for the ravioli before Marco can even turn back around, but then as soon as Marco starts working with them he keeps his hands out of the way and quickly moves one of the pieces of ravioli out of the way of Marco’s hands/elbow. He also notices the moment that Marco moves over to the station he’s at, and moves to start working at another station so he’s not in the way. The kind of patience, focus, and genius it takes to do this kind of work is insane🤯
You’re really exaggerating the qualities on display here. I think most professions where people work closely in tandem develop this kind of complimentary teamwork. Between 17 and 19 I worked as a fry cook, a referee, and an animal handler at a dog kennel. Over time, in each of those, you develop sense of coordination with your teammates and learn how to work around one another to help out and stay efficient.
@@bignasty389 I can barely coordinate myself, let alone with other people 😂 It's why I got a job in a quiet environment where I can really focus on one thing at a time. I tend to not notice my surroundings when I'm absorbed in work and that's not a good thing in a fast paced, changing environment, I end up walking into people! OP may be exaggerating a bit but damn, I wish I was better at that stuff.
@@bignasty389 - He might be exaggerating, but it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of people do NOT work anything like that. (And no, it's not just millennials or zoomers... the number of people in their 40s, 50s or more who don't think far enough ahead to just anticipate someone else's movements is not small.)
Gordan clearly practiced what he preached. Not a word, opinion or complaint. Just listening and putting in pure elbow grease and hard work! So authentic.
@@hp7033 that’s under a team condition of a kitchen. Here, Gordon is his student. His goal is to learn from him. Like how in school projects or any further education projects, you don’t work with the teacher, you learn with from them, then with your peers, you work together with them
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
@@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
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
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.
Imagine being someone who ate at that restaurant, potentially eating food prepared by both Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay. To have such a meal prepared by both legends today, would pretty much be impossible to come by.
its just a food man. u are hungry, u eat some and u are not hungry anymore. sure its nice if its a nice food but there is no need to imagine getting it from some TV personas. their pasta tastes probably 90% the same as from any other cook on the block. just go find some real hobbies.
“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.
Having never known Ramsey as anything other than a world renowned chef….it is truly an honor to see him as a humble apprentice. A great reminder of the merits of any trade.
@@rudyzk in this clip, I would say he’s being quite humble. He’s listening to every single instruction very carefully, he’s not talking back, if Marco chews them out, he doesn’t cry and give excuses, he’s just being a sponge, which is a humble quality to have.
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
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 Ramsay stay shining forever ! 🌟 ✊ !!!
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
Seeing a master teaching his apprentice... KNOWING that apprentice moves onto become the MASTER... Is such a visceral piece of history to see!!! ISTG specialty channels opened windows n doors to SO MANY cool professionals and gave them their dues!!! 90s TV doc specials crawled so socials could fly... 😆... We are all rock Stars.
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.
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.
Gordon walked the walk. He’s not mouthing off to chef or being wise. He’s giving his respect, learning, and demanding the same when his name was on the door.
I started out at 19 years old working as a commis chef at Zafferano, when Giorgio Locatelli was the head chef. This was after chef school in Italy. After two years of chef work at the Michelin Star restaurant I went back to college in London and eventually became an artist. Chef life was like being in the military. Far less creative than I had hoped it would be. Way too stressful, but some aspects were quite satisfying.
exactly. not worth it. would rather keep it as a hobby to enjoy for myself, as opposed to feeling like a mass production food line thats on a ticking time bomb @gunzor8717
@gunzor8717 Some people dont have a choice. While that percentage may be low, i am one of em. Im an apprentice under Chef Kai, and i dont necessarily WANT To be a chef. But its what im best at, and im well rounded in this trade as an apprentice under his wing. This was the only trade i could choose which would suit me best and give me a chance at a decent life. Its stressful yes, but its something one must do to survive. While it may not be sumn I Want. It is something im passionate about. Otherwise; For others who yearn for this and want this their entire life. All the power to you. Just know, its a helluva title and job to withhold. Its not easy, and you'll fumble hard. But if you have determination and give a shit, pay attention and have a certain amount of love for it. Then you can do it. I wish anyone who wants to be a chef the best of luck in their career!
I second this. The money is good, but the stressful environment almost killed my passion to food-making. I am also turning to art after 2 failed attempts at pizzeria/restaurant and bakery business. I'm too soft-spoken and slow for the fast-paced, harsh, tough culinary business. I barely earned anything today, but my life is peaceful and happier than ever. 😅 I respect and admire people like Gordon Ramsay, but I could never be like him...just hope that someday I can afford his craft even just once before I die. I want to know what the food made with such passion tastes like. ❤
It’s insane how Chef Marco Pierre White more or less crafted Gordon to become who we all know and love today but as far as I know this is one of only a few known clips on RUclips where they are both present, I figured they would have been working together on different projects such as a special guest appearance by Marco on Masterchef for example.
Thing is Gordon tried to sabotage MPW's restaurant by sframing MPW for stealing book full of pre made customer orders. People used to phone in advance and tell the waiter what they'll be eating and also leave a phone number. It hurt Marco deeply
@@SavedbyHim What in Christ's name are you talking about? You're telling me someone who worked for the most famous restaurant at that time and gained 16 Michelin stars across the world have done this?!!! Bwahaha. Right. And for some reason, no one knows!!! Do you even realize what you're saying....? Gordon would have never been able to set foot in a kitchen again.
You can see how Gordon Ramsay is laser focused on every detail, soaking up all of his information. When he speaks today, he often is repeating the lessons learned from being an apprentice. He speaks from practical experience of doing something thousands of times. You also can see his knife skills and how he handles ingredients with respect.
Every student pays their dues. You'll learn from the teachers that give you the structure, you make mistakes, you learn from them, you perfect your craft, you listen well and ask questions. This doesn't show everything that comes with it but it's a humbling reminder of, how greatness can start from the simplest forms of teaching and repetition. It's truly surreal seeing Gordon being silent working on these meals while following directions, from the chef and I love it.
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.
Gordon is the true representation of a phoenix, he had such a rough start and wanted something so bad he did not stop until he got it. Literally a legend 💙
@@Liv-or5ci gordan ramsay stole the reservation book of a restaurent that marco pierre was the headchef for (his mentor). Gordan made the restaurant owners believe that marco was the thief so gordan became headchef. As far as I understood, becoming headchef there was his entry to become successfull. You need to know that there was no backup for that book. 6 months of reservations were gone.
When he was a kid his father would beat both him and his mother and say he could never be a chef because thats a "woman thing" so his father would call him a gay boy and many other things.

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?

Not only that, but I feel like Marco's surprised reaction at 1:30 of the dough already being finished ("Oh, we're finished? I didn't realise, has it gone through twice?") is as close to high praise as you'll get from a chef in the kitchen.
Nah, he ended up leaving that position because he was "tired of the yelling, and the bullying, and violence"
Just seemed he was having a good day
No Marco would make Gordon cry. Gordon is quiet because he was heavily abused at home, and then by Marco. This is only his nice face for the camera but Gordon goes on to say that Marco's tantrums in the kitchen made his antics look like a holiday. Scary.
Gordon was 19 and MPW was 24. Two young chefs who would change the culinary world forever.
Both looked like they were 50 back then
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.
You forgot to add " in England ", the other part of the world had good food anyway.
Yep, they would change the culinary world forever. For a while nobody wanted to work in a kitchen because of guys like them.

Gordon learnt under some of the best chefs in the world, including Marco who was the youngest Michelin Star recipient, who also gave his stars back because he couldn't maintain the passion. Anyone who apprentices under Gordon should be extremely fortunate and grateful.

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.

I always remember an episode of Kitchen Nightmares where Gordon asks a cook why he's lazy. The cook tells him, "Maybe if I were making as much money as you I'd want to work more." And Gordon looks unimpressed and says, "When I was your age there weren't enough hours in the day for me to work."

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.

I love how Gordon is constantly busy, but also laser focused on priority. He’s efficiently working on the task in front of him, but also listening carefully for any new information from the chef. I love how he immediately starts cutting the pieces for the ravioli before Marco can even turn back around, but then as soon as Marco starts working with them he keeps his hands out of the way and quickly moves one of the pieces of ravioli out of the way of Marco’s hands/elbow. He also notices the moment that Marco moves over to the station he’s at, and moves to start working at another station so he’s not in the way. The kind of patience, focus, and genius it takes to do this kind of work is insane🤯
You’re really exaggerating the qualities on display here. I think most professions where people work closely in tandem develop this kind of complimentary teamwork.
Between 17 and 19 I worked as a fry cook, a referee, and an animal handler at a dog kennel.
Over time, in each of those, you develop sense of coordination with your teammates and learn how to work around one another to help out and stay efficient.
@@bignasty389 I can barely coordinate myself, let alone with other people 😂 It's why I got a job in a quiet environment where I can really focus on one thing at a time. I tend to not notice my surroundings when I'm absorbed in work and that's not a good thing in a fast paced, changing environment, I end up walking into people! OP may be exaggerating a bit but damn, I wish I was better at that stuff.
@@bignasty389 - He might be exaggerating, but it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of people do NOT work anything like that. (And no, it's not just millennials or zoomers... the number of people in their 40s, 50s or more who don't think far enough ahead to just anticipate someone else's movements is not small.)
Someone else notices the little details in his work and to make things more efficient, and easier
@@bignasty389 I can barely coordinate myself with my team in CSGO lmao
Interviewer: Is it true you made Gordon Ramsay cry?
Marco: Gordon made himself cry. He chose to cry.
Marco: Because you if make a man cry then he doesn't know what he is crying for. You have to cry for yourself to reach perfection.
Yeah, the attitude of a sociopath
That’s a good cry
You can cry, or you can not cry. There's no real recipe, it's up to you.
@@Elrond_Hubbard_1 it's really your choice
Gordan clearly practiced what he preached. Not a word, opinion or complaint. Just listening and putting in pure elbow grease and hard work! So authentic.
...and yet in his shows, one of his frequent complaints is he can't hear the line communicating with one another.
@@hp7033 that’s under a team condition of a kitchen. Here, Gordon is his student. His goal is to learn from him. Like how in school projects or any further education projects, you don’t work with the teacher, you learn with from them, then with your peers, you work together with them
@@hp7033 that’s cuz back then it was his kitchen. You can say what u want in ur own kitchen which he does now
This is classic! Listening to the head Chef, it's very easy to see where GR picked up his (ahem) style. LOL
Elbow grease???
Please don’t ever forget they just cooking food
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 🤣
If Gordon Ramsay is Captain Price then Marco is Captain MacMillan
Folks don't understand Gordon's story. Dude really worked hard to get to where he is now.
Much respect Mr. Gordon👍🏾💯
No, he didn't. He literally cheated and stoled stuff and lied. Then he screamed at a lot of people.
Mr Ramsay.
Buddy
clearly u are the only one who does, so enlighten us all, what's his story?
still cant make a grilled cheese
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
Marco was on another level. His knowledge and confidence behind the stove was so inspiring
he was also an absolutely terrible person that belongs in prison

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
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
Shoutout to the cameraman for going back in time to record this legend in his youth.
😂😂
😅😅😅
LMFAOOOO
agreed.
yeah its insane to see marco pierre white at this age.
Cringe
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
Tbf their relationship has grown sour over the years, so it makes sense we don’t see them together as much nowadays
@@youraveragegrandma568 what happened
@@walterwhite4398 Marco cheated on Gordab
@@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.
Sweet vid thanks! It's amazing some of this old TV made it to me
Imagine being someone who ate at that restaurant, potentially eating food prepared by both Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay. To have such a meal prepared by both legends today, would pretty much be impossible to come by.
The people who ate there at the time probably didn't care or even know who either of the two were.
High society straight up doesn't care.
Gordon and who?
@@doriandundee9906 gordon Ramsey is on TV and his restaurants are in casinos
🎩
🧐
its just a food man. u are hungry, u eat some and u are not hungry anymore. sure its nice if its a nice food but there is no need to imagine getting it from some TV personas. their pasta tastes probably 90% the same as from any other cook on the block. just go find some real hobbies.
@@Desdress sounds like you are in poverty. Pick your head up
“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.
That’s what I noticed , it looked stressful cooking with so many people around also cooking and having to have to food out on time
Overworking yourself and being stressed isn't something to be proud of.
Heard the statement while reading this
Ok mate so the builders and manual laborers who only do 40-50 hours a week don't know what work is. Sure 👍🤦🏻♂️😂
@ZondaboY64 they do it in order to meet ur preferences goofy
Having never known Ramsey as anything other than a world renowned chef….it is truly an honor to see him as a humble apprentice. A great reminder of the merits of any trade.
Ramsey was never humble, he was 19 years old already he looks like the head of the brigade, and the one who's closer to the chef.
@@rudyzk in this clip, I would say he’s being quite humble. He’s listening to every single instruction very carefully, he’s not talking back, if Marco chews them out, he doesn’t cry and give excuses, he’s just being a sponge, which is a humble quality to have.
Of course you're gonna say to make yourself feel better. Everyone starts in a humble manner, cause if you don't you won't learn crap@@rudyzk
This video was recorded 38 years ago for anyone else wondering
Now it’s clear how Ramsey became so fast. He had a frightening drill instructor
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.
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.
When you're a learner, you're quiet.
When you're a teacher, you're loud.
I agree
@@theajtruth Do you know how long that prodigy took to be able to take that giant leap from a learner to be an Master ? Countless dishes and countless years & years of trainings under intense pressures.
That's how an regular coal turns into a Real natural Diamond .
Gordon Ramsay is that.
A Diamond is Forever .
Gordon Ramsay stay shining forever ! 🌟 ✊ !!!
He is still dead serious, we are scottish, angry is in our nature even when we are being nice lol
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
Seeing a master teaching his apprentice... KNOWING that apprentice moves onto become the MASTER... Is such a visceral piece of history to see!!! ISTG specialty channels opened windows n doors to SO MANY cool professionals and gave them their dues!!! 90s TV doc specials crawled so socials could fly... 😆...
We are all rock Stars.
It’s crazy how focus Gordon is, his silence response and facial expressions says a lot, dude was really passionate about his career
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.
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.
Even though he was being filmed, Gorden only had eyes for his work. He let the head chef talk, he worked, but he was listening. I love it so much.
Gordon walked the walk. He’s not mouthing off to chef or being wise. He’s giving his respect, learning, and demanding the same when his name was on the door.
I started out at 19 years old working as a commis chef at Zafferano, when Giorgio Locatelli was the head chef. This was after chef school in Italy. After two years of chef work at the Michelin Star restaurant I went back to college in London and eventually became an artist. Chef life was like being in the military. Far less creative than I had hoped it would be. Way too stressful, but some aspects were quite satisfying.
exactly. not worth it. would rather keep it as a hobby to enjoy for myself, as opposed to feeling like a mass production food line thats on a ticking time bomb @gunzor8717
@gunzor8717 Some people dont have a choice. While that percentage may be low, i am one of em. Im an apprentice under Chef Kai, and i dont necessarily WANT To be a chef. But its what im best at, and im well rounded in this trade as an apprentice under his wing. This was the only trade i could choose which would suit me best and give me a chance at a decent life. Its stressful yes, but its something one must do to survive. While it may not be sumn I Want. It is something im passionate about. Otherwise; For others who yearn for this and want this their entire life. All the power to you. Just know, its a helluva title and job to withhold. Its not easy, and you'll fumble hard. But if you have determination and give a shit, pay attention and have a certain amount of love for it. Then you can do it. I wish anyone who wants to be a chef the best of luck in their career!
Yeah, I wonder why as well.
I second this. The money is good, but the stressful environment almost killed my passion to food-making. I am also turning to art after 2 failed attempts at pizzeria/restaurant and bakery business. I'm too soft-spoken and slow for the fast-paced, harsh, tough culinary business. I barely earned anything today, but my life is peaceful and happier than ever. 😅 I respect and admire people like Gordon Ramsay, but I could never be like him...just hope that someday I can afford his craft even just once before I die. I want to know what the food made with such passion tastes like. ❤
Some people have a strong mental and can just thug it out, others prefer a more comfortable desk job, depends on the person really
It’s insane how Chef Marco Pierre White more or less crafted Gordon to become who we all know and love today but as far as I know this is one of only a few known clips on RUclips where they are both present, I figured they would have been working together on different projects such as a special guest appearance by Marco on Masterchef for example.
He’s been a guest on masterchef Australia and he was on Hell’s Kitchen.
One may suspect that gordon ramsay does not like marco as a person - with good reason
Thing is Gordon tried to sabotage MPW's restaurant by sframing MPW for stealing book full of pre made customer orders. People used to phone in advance and tell the waiter what they'll be eating and also leave a phone number. It hurt Marco deeply
@@SavedbyHim What in Christ's name are you talking about? You're telling me someone who worked for the most famous restaurant at that time and gained 16 Michelin stars across the world have done this?!!! Bwahaha. Right. And for some reason, no one knows!!! Do you even realize what you're saying....? Gordon would have never been able to set foot in a kitchen again.
❤
At least now he can scream at others meanwhile he still can't make grilled cheese.
You can see how Gordon Ramsay is laser focused on every detail, soaking up all of his information. When he speaks today, he often is repeating the lessons learned from being an apprentice. He speaks from practical experience of doing something thousands of times. You also can see his knife skills and how he handles ingredients with respect.
Every student pays their dues. You'll learn from the teachers that give you the structure, you make mistakes, you learn from them, you perfect your craft, you listen well and ask questions. This doesn't show everything that comes with it but it's a humbling reminder of, how greatness can start from the simplest forms of teaching and repetition. It's truly surreal seeing Gordon being silent working on these meals while following directions, from the chef and I love it.
as an apprentice thats your place. you shut up, buckel down and take in everything you can so you can grow to be as good or better than your teacher
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.
its insane how many people can be in a kitchen, having worked in kitchens my whole life, ive never seen this many, ever, different times...
Gordon is the true representation of a phoenix, he had such a rough start and wanted something so bad he did not stop until he got it. Literally a legend 💙
you mean "he wanted something so bad he didnt care about his mentor at all"? the reason why gordan became so successfull is a shame.
Tf r u saying 🤣🤣
@@davidmindester3926 can you explain?? Idk anything about his past
@@Liv-or5ci gordan ramsay stole the reservation book of a restaurent that marco pierre was the headchef for (his mentor). Gordan made the restaurant owners believe that marco was the thief so gordan became headchef. As far as I understood, becoming headchef there was his entry to become successfull.
You need to know that there was no backup for that book. 6 months of reservations were gone.
When he was a kid his father would beat both him and his mother and say he could never be a chef because thats a "woman thing" so his father would call him a gay boy and many other things.
