MPW turned down michelin stars because to quote the man himself, “Michelin sell tires, I sell food”. And according to him, it was the most liberating decision he made.
honestly respect him for that
yeah that's really cool but why is a can of clorox bleach telling me this?

@@rekkiesbub423 you assumed his container?
@@cloroxbleach700 No identity politics, please!
Marco is the dude who reached the top, went ''Eh, I like it better down there'' and just turned back. Can't help but respect that humility.
I don’t know if it is humility. Staying at the top is hard work, but not nearly as satisying as getting to the top.
@@GH-oi2jf that's exactly what Marco said at the time. He said there was no goals to reach anymore and that he could either live his whole life fighting to retain his stars cooking ridiculous high skilled food, do none of that and hire others to do it while pretending he was still in the picture, or completely give up and cook whatever he wanted. He chose the latter
It may truly be lonely at the top. Wisdom, he has a lot of it.
I’m not pretty sure if it was just humility because he said “I was being judged by people who had less knowledge than me, so what was it truly worth? I gave Michelin inspectors too much respect, and I belittled myself” nonetheless I respect him for the chef he is, the person he is and the passion he has, he philosophizes through the food and it’s mesmerizing how he does it
@@eoghancasserly3626 Because life is about the journey, not reaching the end of the line 🤣🤣🤣
The virgin ragusea vs the chad marco

Marco transitioned from fine dining three star chef to a guy that owns steak houses and pubs...he talks about how liberating it has been and about giving back his stars. The guy is remarkable. My favorite.

Me don't. Because I don't use Knorr
Marco has a legacy most food snoobs cant reach in two lifetimes. So earning money on knorr isnt going to change that. Ive been cooking all my life. And I actually got some great tips by marcos knorr videos. There is nothing wrong using cheap stock cubes if the end results taste good. And his paste and smear idea actually works in a flash.
Jokes aside, Marco has the lamb sauce.
But not his kingfish.
He is still looking for his fish, it just swam off the kitchen!

You Cockroaches wanna play ruff? SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE PAN
What I like the most about Marco's Knorr videos is how incredibly soothing they are. It's just pure relax.
Or maybe, a little relax. Depends on your mood. There's no recipe to enjoying them.
After all, it's your choice!
Don’t forget the olive oil and knorr stockpots
_That was my choice._
There was no script. It was all feel, a philosophy.
It's your choice
MPW is such a fucking legend it's indescribable. Many people take the piss out of him because Knorr videos (I sometimes do it too... or I don't - it's my choice really), but I can say with 100% certainty that learning more about him, his journey, his struggle, and watching his interviews have given me more inspiration than any other motivational speech ever did. And not just when it comes to cooking - I mean in life general. Marco has this incredible ability that he can talk about his culinary experiences and translate them into different aspects of life. I do recommend watching his Oxford Q&A. Absolute mad lad.
Everybody is good up untill that point of his young age. I have watched that speech he gave, I was really thrilled by it,
And then I came up on this video to learn
what has really become of him.
Personally I just microwave 8 Knorr stock pots and eat them with a teaspoon. Or not. It's your choice really. There is no real recipe. you can put 7 if you like.
"Just a few gallons of oliveOL"
I personally take mine with a broiled boullion to wash it down
Just like my dear mother.
S tier comment lmao
Look at this fat cat, being able to afford a microwave. I just swallow them like shots.
"Some people put olive oil in, I never bother, so I'll put a splash in, because I had an Italian mother, which is why I season my water with Knorr Chicken Stock Pot, because it makes your pasta taste better. But it's your choice."
-Marco Pierre White
That "women in the kitchen" thing was taken out of context, they just cut the full interview down to those words, and left out his explanation. Hell he even said "women are better cooks" in that interview.
Ah, so... good old "journalism". :)
@@player-8740 yup
@@reefer674 Yeah, he basically listed a bunch of a things that he thought women were better at, and then gave the men maybe two things he thought they were better at, and the media made it seem like he only ever said the latter.
@@megamonster1234 And Adam fell for it.
MPW is the smartest dude around. He accepted the sponsorship, took the one product that would have zero impact on his dishes, and started cooking knowing that the recipes could totally be replicated without the stockpots. Genius.
Clearly Adam has never seen James May make margarine and spam sandwiches.
What a God tier bloke
Lmao that foodtribe guy? I thought he was a car presenter

Thing is, I remember Marco recommending shop bought boulion cubes for home cookery 25 years ago - so it's not as if he's just whoring a product for the bucks - he genuinely beleives in the product
That's what I said earlier in a reply. MPW has been talking about Knorr and using bouillon cubes for decades.
You can get the same delicious taste and quite literally save days worth of prep.
He gets alot of shit from cooks and chefs. But they just don't understand that he changed gears his goals and what he find fulfilling. I don't know a chef who doesn't use stock cubes at home.
@@josefwoodend I'm going to be honest; homemade stock is the best way to go
But it's not that simple as is life.
It takes hours to cook, can be a pain to store if your living in a small place, and most importantly you have to use it as soon as possible to get the best results. Sure, you can freeze it, but it just doesn't taste the same.
Meanwhile with stock cubes, or better than bouillon jars, you can get very similar results in a fraction of the time, with decent flavor and taste. These things can practically last forever in your cupboard, and it doesn't take a genius to just boil some water and put them in.
I've made dishes with homemade stock that came out amazing. I've also made dishes using stock from bouillon cubes, that come out just as good. While there is a noticeable taste different, it's not really enough for me to make a 6-hour stock or broth. Both are good in their own right, but by far, the bullion cubes are simply way more convenient and available at hand and give you some pretty good results.
Nothing wrong with bouillon cubes, but if you're at home take a look at some similar products. Better than bullion very similar, you use a tsp of it in place of a classic cube. It comes in a jar and you keep it in the fridge. By going this route they can include ingredients that make it so you don't have to dehydrate everything and make it all shelf stable and this, in my opinion, makes for a tastier end product and it's just about as easy as the cubes.
Good to know! Cool share, thanks!
10:00 "Becoming a person who knows themselves is usually the first step toward becoming the kind of person whom someone else will want.'
DAMN. Thats deep and heavy life advice (more than dating advice) by my boy Adam. It speaks a lot to me, personally.
One of my favorite things with MPW (and my first real introduction to him) was one of the seasons of Masterchef Australia where you could see the switch flip from just talking with the contestants to acting as their mentor when the competition began in earnest. It was fascinating to watch.
Marco getting angry about the frozen eel is way scarier than Gordon looking for the lamb sauce
thats certainly because gordon only gets that worked up for american television, and hes typically less volatile on british television. meanwhile marco is just pissed off in general lol
The Marco classics.
"And if I'm being honest"
"It's your choice"
"And a touch of olive oil" *pours half the bottle*
"The real secret ingredient....knorr stock pots"
"Sense of occassion"
I still am the fan of how Marco doesn't give a fuck on one side, but he also can no look cut onion so fine, that it looks like he put it in a blender.
'And if you don't like *insert ingredient*..... leave it out'
That list is approx right.
@@MedievalSolutions that is how over it he is
wazclark by u
Cooking down onions does indeed make them less acidic -- in effect. "One sulfur compound in onions, called propyl sulfoxide, escapes into the air when you slice an onion. When it comes into contact with moisture, such as water vapor in the air or the natural moisture around your eyes, it changes into *sulfuric acid."* That's what makes your eyes water, and makes onion taste acidic.
MPW is not only a genius chef,
Many people can get inspired by the way he delivers life long experience in short statements which are really worth years of exposure to the business , life and relationships.

@@GeldtheGelded LMAO
i’ve definitely used more Knorr, but sometimes i don’t use any at all, it’s my choice.
IDK Adam. I'm not sure that these videos feature Marco being over it. I think it's something equally admirable in that as a truly successful media man, he knows his audience. The Marco you told us about, and who is in the public eye, is restaurant Marco. A restaurant chef is a lot like a soldier, and the head chef (Marco) is the general. There's a clear hierarchy and procedure to the entire environment. Of course he's going to be this hardass, pompous jerk, he's a tyrant head chef who happens to be the best in the game, and it's HIS restaurant.
But the knorr videos aren't about cooking for a restaurant or the art of fine cuisine, it's about learning HOW to cook to begin with. A true master like Marco understands that food typically exists outside of his Michelin-starred world, so he has altered his persona to fit. He's not making this bullion-slathered pork loin for you to be in awe of his skill, he's doing it to show you how you can be in awe of your own by making simple, yet delicious recipes that you can experiment with, alter however you see fit.
Y'know how Gordon Ramsey will make a video about a "cheap," "quick" meal for a Sunday afternoon, and it'll be like fried lamb chops or a steak? That's a chef who usually, but not in this case, gauges the kind of person that makes up his general audience audience. He's still in freaking restaurant mode. But not Marco. Marco, like any other schmuck, slaps a 5 dollar piece of meat into a cold pan, absolutely drenched in knorr and says "You're not building the fucking Taj Majal. This is your food, and you can make it however you damn well please as long as you're satisfied with the outcome. Slather this in mayo and bananas for all I care. There is no real recipe."
Lol you describing how Ramsay is always in restaurant mode is so accurate. You also notice that even in his tutorial videos, he's in a rush and breathing hard/out of breath? He's in such a rush as if he has 100 impatient guests waiting on their food lol
I bet Adam not gonna read this comment
@@amyill9280 Or that "grilled cheese". Man didn't have time for a second take it seems.
This is also what i thought. Great point man 👍
Damn 😔
"The dishes look pretty dated."
First of all, it's the late 80's. Secondly, it still probably tasted good.
I feel like Adam just doesn’t like celebrity chefs, and being so harsh on Marco for knorr videos as “haha he doesn’t care anymore” neglects the profound change Marco made to his life and attitudes, some of which I believe even Adam would agree with. Adam I feel in general needs to give others the chances he gives himself, everyone gets it wrong sometimes.
@@banditmc12 Adam said marco not giving a fuck 'liberated' him off the mindset to constantly impress someone
Yes, that's what "dated" means. Regardless of the taste.
@@asifhossain8363 But Marco never not "gave a fuck", even his projects now, it is evident he cares for his craft, it's just he doesnt need to prove himself anymore, the knorr videos, the steakhouses, the pubs, it is evident that he still cares for his work. Adam simplifying all he does to "man dont give shit" rather overlooks the subtleties of mpw and his work
@@banditmc12 Isn’t all of that literally what Adam’s saying though?
“The explanation is wrong but the technique works” I’ve never heard something so accurate
Basically how my degree is going
When do we get a video on Chef John though?

Chef John is so incredibly wholesome and a wonderful father figure
...Cooking With Jack Show. Meh, nevermind, that’s punching down.
The first time I watched his videos I was on the brink of hitting the dislike button and moving on because it was infuriating. Thankfully I just closed my eyes and I don't even notice it anymore. I've cooked so many of his ideas! Absolutely adore him!
@@t7259 Oh man I hear that. Chef John got me through my undergrad and master's. I'd be divorced and homeless if it wasn't for him.
Marco is a hero and a war horse.
“I didn’t make Gordon Ramsay cry. Gordon Ramsay chose to cry”.
Edit: cheers for the likes.
Further edit: Marco was pissed off in that clip as he had requested smoked eel but was sent it all frozen. Big difference between getting pissy due to striving for perfection when your name is above the door as opposed to crying over criticism.
Also Marco - "Are you crying? I did the same to Gordon Ramsay"
Time stamp?
Man, go look at Gordon's appearance on Hot Ones, compared to well... Alton Brown, Paul Rudd, Babish and even Nick Offerman. Nick Offerman handled the sauces better than Gordon Ramsay.
Brice Murrie that’s friggin nick offerman though, the mans made out of stone
@@Gatorade69 Some people are just more sensitive to spices than others. It honestly doesn't surprise me that someone with a sensitive palette like Gordon, (being trained to detect even the faintest aftertaste all his life), reacts so strongly to such a barrage of spice.
Marco isn't 'over it'. He's 'above' it.

@@51Saffron I don’t doubt it at all. I’m a better cook than Adam lol. Marco would wipe the floor with me too.
@@clarkmanning6165 LOL, Marco's recipes are much ado about nothing. All that work for something not that spectacular. I have seen his home cook videos and they are basic cooking 101. Sorry, but your hero is not a great chef. I don't think the English are very good chefs. Looking good doesn't equate with tasting good.
@@51Saffron OK weirdo. Obviously you’re not the brightest star in the sky and that’s consistent with the typical Internet troll. So there’s really nothing special about you. Marco Pierre White it’s not a hero of mine, certainly not in the way that you worship Adam Ragusa (lol). I will take you seriously the day. Adam Ragusa opens a successful restaurant that is awarded three Michelin stars. Until that day, he’s just a pompous douchebag with a RUclips channel.
"Becoming a person who knows themselves is usually the first step toward becoming the kind of person whom someone else will want."
Holy shit, i really wasn't expecting this when i clicked this video.
Who needs dating advice channels? We've got Adam Ragusea!
Hi I want
Know yourself, or feel like you do, it's mostly about giving the other person confidence in who you are, not being right. It's hard to want anything until you have some idea wtf it even is.
sounds good, and I like Adam and most of what he says, but it's a load of idealist BS. it's overly rational, and the world just isn't rational at all. it's like thinking good grades and a good degree lead to a good job and a good life, when everyone knows the connections between these 4 things (grades, degree, job, life) are a lot, a lot more complicated. you can't really calculate that. it's not something that is governed by neat, wise-sounding, shareable, inspiring principles. the only thing that really works is trial and error - forming hypotheses and testing them for yourself.
same with love - you can easily know yourself quite well and be literally undateable (or un-live-together-with-able). I've lived with the woman I love for 8 years now. I didn't know myself at all back then, and neither did she. we're still figuring ourselves out, we've just figured out this year that we both need a huge change in direction in our lives. the only thing that really works is trial and error - forming hypotheses and testing them. you just live together and work together, you learn to be the person your partner wouldn't mind spending 8-16 hours a day with. you learn to cater to their needs. you both figure out "the rules" or, as in our case, more of the general "limits" in which the other person is comfortable, the limits to which you can push it till they say "ok, now that is too much, stop it right now". you learn how to be less of a dick in some situations, and more of a dick in others (to preserve your own energy, to keep things in balance, to not "overgive"). long story short, it's a whole bunch of skills, best practices, insights and intuitions. it's also often a lot about circumstances and luck.
so yeah, I def don't think that "knowing yourself is the first step of becoming a person whom someone else will want". that'd mean you'd have to wait for ages, like until you're well into your thirties. even then I'm not sure people really start knowing themselves.
@@kathorsees The point of idealistic, or simplistic advice is to nudge practical matters in a direction. Not to function as a replacement for practicality.
My first exposure to Marco Pierre White was when he arrived to Masterchef Australia and they made it clear this was a big deal and that they kept repeating that this is the guy who once made even Gordon Ramsay cry. But Masterchef Australia is generally pretty wholesome and therefore, Marco Pierre White was actually generally pretty wholesome in it which I think supports that he is very media savvy with how he presents his personality.
Marco differs far more than Ramsay in that regard; Gordon goes around and makes a buisness out of his persona. Yet if you see him workin' with Children or people he kinda likes, he's far more relaxed / nice.
Marco is just generally polite. Unless you say you're a "Real Chef" and then fail miserable. Then he will take you apart and I guess you would never wanted to work in one of his kitchens because in kitchens, outbursts are relativly common.
And then you're the Donkey for the rest of the night.
I had known about MPW long before MasterChef Australia. He is one of the best chefs of the modern era, and has had a reputation as being the youngest chef to ever earn three Michelin stars - and of course, the man who once drove Gordon Ramsay to tears. "I didn't make Gordon Ramsay cry", he would say in his softly spoken way. "He chose to cry. It was his choice to cry." He didn't need to raise his voice to be savage.
@@BomberFletch31 One of the best chefs of the modern era? He's British, so that's impossible 😂😂😂
@@JishinimaTidehoshi Where's your Michelin star?
@@JishinimaTidehoshi What has that got to do with anything? There are plenty of great British chefs, MPW and Gordon Ramsey being the 2 most famous.
so not only you critize marco with obvious contempt while diminishing his accomplishments, you literally compare yourself to him. where is your restaurant success, ''chef''?
when did he ever diminish his accomplishments? he's literally praising who marco is right now and talking about how he idolizes him and wants to be like him. stop being a fucking fanboy to an elderly chef that doesn't know you
Another good thing about Knorr-era Marco is that he tries to keep things simple, use modestly priced and easily available ingredients, and show normal people how to make tasty food without too much fuss. Instead of making artsy food for jaded rich people, he is trying to make the ordinary person's meals better. It is as if he has come full circle back to his working class origins. And since ordinary people don't have fish stock handy, they can use the stock cube. It is not Michelin star cooking, but most people most of the time cannot make, and don't even want, that level of cooking. They have hungry people back from work or school who need to be fed efficiently. The other thing I like is how Marco says, in one of his oft-repeated mantras, that you make things good to create a "sense of occasion". It is about making your family or guests enjoy each others company and having a pleasant time, with flavorful, well presented food as part of that. It is not just showing off as a chef, or fetishizing the food. This is a good way to think about it. And, as you point out, he has the technique down even if his explanations are technically wrong. Watch his hands, listen to what he does, and why he does it, now how it works. How it works doesn't even matter, really.
I work in a marco’s restaurant (as a waiter) and we actually use knorr in some of the recipes
Oliver Cann :0
Marco himself said the same thing years ago way back even before he started doing commercials.
Now whether he said that to get sponsored eventually is beyond anyone's guess...
why not? he probably gets it for free

Adam, I think this is your most important video. This is the video that has impacted me the most in my own personal cooking journey. Thanks for the work you do, keep seasoning that cutting board.
Having worked in a few restaurant kitchens, everyone gets emotional, it's incredibly stressful but as long as everyone can be friends at the end of the shift everything will be ok
My friend is a chef at a restaurant here in south Florida.
You'd swear by the interactions they have with each other during a rush that they must hate each others guts. By the end of the day though, they're all like brothers.
It's just the environment they're in; it demands perfection and 100% effort, and anything less than that can jeopardize everything.
Everyone has worked in a few restaurant kitchens? Huh? I haven't.
@Nexxol ?
Now to be fair here when Marco said 'Most people make there Shepard's pie too dry' he's referring to the 'gravy' to meat ratio but when he's talking about mince(a.k.a ground beef) he's referring to people who make it too 'wet' in that they don't cook off the water and fry the mince in its own fat.
Wao, yes rightly said, although am a vegetarian, I agree with you . P.S not being sarcastic here
Your videos are a very interesting mix of cooking, philosophy, history, opinions, technology and more. Thanks so much for keeping me entertained.
He’s a “terrible person” for being misquoted once by a rag? Okay
Also he was saying that women take personal issue with the style of work environment that guys work in and typically do not. I’ve worked in a fast pace dangerous job in a ductile pipe factory and man the few girls that tried working in the foundry didn’t like how direct, logical, demand of hierarchy, flat out rude we were to each other and could do this for years on end, not just once. The job could be extremely dangerous if people messed up and every second not make pipe was money forever lost. The women just couldn’t handle it, more respect for them being honest.
"celebrity chefs are a plague upon us"
-celebrity chef Adam Ragusea 2019
Ragusea, Tom Scott, and Adam Neely are what I like to call "YT anti-celebrities" because they're authentic people who deliver interesting information in an entertaining way, not some guy over-reacting to a video game or riffing on some stale top 10 list. Their passion for their chosen topic comes across to the viewer and instills a sense of excitement and curiosity in that field, rather than just being a video you watch for 8-10 minutes and then forget because it was disposable content.
(I do wonder if Ragusea will ever respond to Neely throwing shade at him because of his Christmas music video for Vox a few years back.)
I have no interest in journalism but I'd love to take his class.
@@Loogaroo1 I just watched the vox video and adam neely's response. Its kinda strange to see Adam a few years ago before this internet fame he acquired. What are the chances that a journalism professor who studied music would just become a popular internet chef in the span of a year.

How does Adam have the audacity to mock a chef like Marco ?
I’m really glad you made this, Marco gets a bad rap for those videos, as a trained chef, there are some amazing nuggets as well as some liberation in seeing one of the best to ever drive a kitchen lean so heavily on stock cubes and simple feel good cooking.
MPW is a great mentor for lots of people. He is a very independent minded guy. Whenever one of his students asks him if they need more salt, more pepper, more spice, or any suggestions on how to improve, he always tastes it, and then asks the student what they think it needs. He gets people to trust their own senses instead of relying on his senses. Also he can seem very rude, especially when he kicks diners out of the restaurant, but from his perspective, he created the food that he wants you to eat, not the food that you want to eat, and if you do not like the way it is done, then he will not appreciate you. You would never ask an artist to change a painting because you dont like the way it looks, so why do the same with a michelin star restaurant?
I think that argument fails a bit when you're talking about paying someone for something. Same thing with the artist example, if you're commissioning an artist for something you want then ideally the goal should be an agreement on what is best for the person getting it. The argument goes differently if the customer is just trying to get the experience the chef wants, of course
@@purplegill10 I think his statement was about you buying the work of an artist rather than commissioning an artist to do something you want. It's the same as how MPW has his recipe in his menu in his restaurant and there's you who's there to experience his food rather than you asking him to cook something you want the way you want it and this and that.
I think you guys got it right with the spirit but actually wrong with the context
He was kicking customers out because there were a minority of unnecessarily rude, unappreciative customers and in general pretentious elitists. The majority of customers/guests were all alright to him and as someone who worked 3 years straight in hospitality industry I can only relate to his decision, except one thing is I myself, along with other people don't actually dare to do that.
edit: forgot to write about the "paying someone for something part". At least back in his active days, he shared with us that when he kicked customers out he didn't even need them to pay. So i think this man actually takes honor and standards in his work.
I love MPW but he was quite the asshole in his early days. He literally kicked out anyone who had any criticisms of his food and was known for physically and mentally abusing his chefs. He literally made gordon cry because MPW had sauces he needed to make so gordon tried to be a good student and made the sauces himself and marcos response was by getting furious and throwing pots and pans at him which caused gordon to quit and cry.
@@purplegill10 Do you come to a restaurant and ask how the food should be prepared as per your liking? yeah that's what I thought. Your statement is the complete opposite of the OP
This reminds me of your “watch this before you blow up on RUclips” video and I really like this style of content. Eagerly awaiting more.
Me too I keep on seeing you
Awesome video. Love your spot-on honest thoughts in all this. Thanks for sharing
this is genuinely such an entertaining video, nice adam!!
He's got an incredible hour long speech, whoever hasn't seen it, watch it. It's hard for me to listen to peoples stories, but good god that guy can tell a story.
Oxford Union fyi
Great speech, the man was truly motivated to accomplish his dreams.
Could you link it please @gummy

@@Bastiolo48 thanks a ton. I ended up finding it just yesterday incidentally. It was lovely 😁
Don’t knock knorr my man. It really is the best for store bought stock most restaurants don’t have the space for home made stocks or have the time for making Demi so they use pre made, only ours don’t come in cubes. It comes in tubs
Haha ours comes in tubs here in South Texas too! It was hard to find them in tubs when I was living in Georgia or Illinois
Interesting take on Marco. I’ve been binging on Marco lately and have the White Heat 25 book. Not for the recipes but for the photos and epilogue. I like his Knorr videos. You don’t have to use Knorr. Almost everybody uses prepared stock at home. Only restaurants can make stock efficiently, because they have large stoves, large pots, an apprentice to make the stock, and a walk-in refrigerator in which to store the stock overnight. Use whatever you prefer.
Representing Knorr is what we mostly see Marco doing on RUclips, but his main activity is developing retaurants.
This is a very unique video for this channel and I think it’s one of my favorites. I keep coming back to remind myself of it, reabsorb the material and recontextualize it in lieu of how my life has changed since I last saw it.
Loving the diversity. From history to science, with the main theme being cooking. I'm glad you're doing these types of videos, RUclips is saturated with cooking videos so it's nice to see another approach :)
".....youtube is saturated with cooking videos..."
You have no idea how true that is. Especially after Blossom, 5 Minute Craft or any garbage dumpster decides it'll be funny to touch on "food hacks"
@@ShatteredGlass916 these "food hacks" are just a way to make everything instant, not enjoyable in my opinion.
I used to watch so (too) many cooking videos on tasty, BA, etc, etc but they are way off my cooking capability, Adam however made it simpler perhaps the fact that he isnt a pro chef helps average people like me to follow his recipe.
I'd rather have an out of touch Marco cook for me than a smarmy know it all.
Exactly
*smarmy, passive aggressive, know-it-all
Fuck yeah
I agree his whole attitude and how nonchalantly he cooks so perfectly make the videos amazing to watch I am in awe whenever I watch his videos
“Over the hill celebrity chef” is pretty dismissive given MPW’s achievements and legacy as a chef. At the time he was the youngest chef ever to achieve 3 Michelin stars and he is widely acclaimed and regarded as one of the most gifted and influential chefs of modern times.
I don’t think a single thing about this 13min video devoted to MPW is “dismissive.”
@@yateswebb this whole video is a diss track lol
Anytime anyone puts something out into the universe, they are going to be misinterpreted, whether they are a Michelin star chef or a popular food RUclipsr (or some guy commenting on a video).
This whole video is a paggressive bitch out
He talks several times abut his "false confidence" i don't think MPW confidence is false at all!.
him not trying is still better than most youtube chefs trying lol.
Far better than ragusea
@Robert Taylor Jeez, what do you guys have against Adam? He praised White here, his food is generally very good, his videos with opinions are usually pretty even-handed - what's got you so upset?
@@joshstead6078 He made fun of one of the greatest chefs just because he doesn't give a damn anymore and made such a big deal about a mistake(the onions), which clearly was exaggerated on his part. He acts as if he could beat Marco in a cooking competition. I mean damn, you can criticize someone who's clearly better than you, but making fun of them only makes you look stupid.
elvis vasquez I mean Adam repeats in every video of his that he is just a home cook man
elvis vasquez He isn’t making fun, and even if he was, literally half the comment section on any MPW video makes fun of Marco. It’s not a big deal. And besides, the not caring about impressing anyone, if you said it to me, it would be a compliment.
My man went straight Smarter Every Day with that life lesson.
The comments starting 02:01 about school etc are absolutely spot on. He’s the third of four sons, used to fighting to be seen and to stand out through his own grit. He’s a working class Northern Tory, which was a rarity in the 70’s and even rarer that he became a Thatcherite. He went to a comprehensive school which was where you went after failing an exam age 11-12, think of them as holding pens or meat factories designed to prepare the low-achievers for a life of soulless factory work. That sort of thing used to quietly determine the course of the rest of your life (still can in parts) as you aren’t a member of the club (esp as a northerner!) without the contacts or school tie or Father who can put a quiet word in with his old pal in Cambridge or The City etc. It puts a MASSIVE chip on your shoulder if you’re an intelligent person feeling like you’ve been swept into the gutter while people who you consider your inferior (in intelligence, character or motivation) look down on you and judge you because of who you are, your school or where you came from. He would have loved the power he had over those people all piling into his restaurant, at first :D
It doesn't matter if Marco knows the EXACT science behind making delicious food. He can do it again and again with consistency. His philosophies and art have brought him a successful life.
Marco reminds of my grandma. She's an amazing cook but sometimes she uses some VERY "questionable" cooking methods/techniques that she truly believes is the right thing, but I know it doesn't make sense and/or isn't right. And if I say something about it, she takes it personally so it's just easier to say "yes, ma'am".
Americans: English people are so calm and civilised
English people:
Oil, Hold me pint
Love when a RUclips scrub “ critiques” a master
Exactly. He’d definitely be whistling a different tune if Marco Pierre White was standing right in front of him.
I hardly would call him a master, his food is outdated, and old school. Food today is much better. The best food is from people who cook their culture. My step family are South Asian, and they cook amazing food, as do my Mexican friends.
Bro butthurt😂
Spot on mate, some real gems in there that go beyond simply cooking. Cheers.
Yes. A food channel that realizes that not every video needs to be a recipe, or even end in some kind of dish. Excellent topic and video, Adam!
Hi Scott!
Why am I seeing you here? Haha
This is the wierdest crossover I didnt know I needed in my life
Skillshare, Squarespace, NordVPN and all the other crap is basically Knorr Stock Pod.
finally
So? These platforms are good for you if you want a beginner to intermediate level of training in a particular subject. VPN is necessary for security.
I get your point though....... You hate sponsorships but that's what keeps channels afloat and keeps the content coming our way.🙂
You can keep watching and complaining, or you can stop watching. It’s your choice.
so are you trying to say it's cheap and effective?
How the fuck did you arrive at that conclusion?
Freaking love Marco! I quit drinking and I went crazy making every recipe I can find from him!
While everyone is talking about the subject of this video, I will like to talk about the video itself, how wonderfully edited it is and how your journalistic background just bursts out into the content that you have written. Splendid job adam, talk to some of the netflix producers lol.
Got to love some teachers ie. Adam. They spent their life teaching so they think that they know everything and have difficulty accepting when they’re wrong or prance around believing they know everything when in reality their job involves regurgitating information. I swear some of think they’ve solved life like this guy and give a narrative to everything with a clear ignorance.
“It’s usually only through a lot of sloppy experimentation that we figure ourselves out enough to get who and what we want, and becoming a person who knows themselves is usually the first step towards becoming the kind of person whom someone else will want.”
👏👏👏
Love the info I get watching your videos. Glad found your channel. It speaks to my brain 💯💯💯💯💯
Marco's philosophy applies to almost all trades, when you stop trying to impress people you become so good at the skill you're doing. Its insane
dude, are you sitting at your computer in your undies making this video? Legendary!
4:58
I do my cooking in underwear too.
Lol nice
Hagen Herrmann knowing Ragusea that’s an extremely subtle meta-joke hidden in the script somewhere.
Lost User i quite hope so 🙂
@@lostuser1094 I guess it's his way of "being over it"?
Marcos Q&A at Oxford I think it is, is an absolutely fascinating story of his childhood and growing up , starting out as a chef. Hard life for sure.
Yeah, that video is basically the only 50 minute video I've watched
Watched that too, the whole thing. That guy should do a voice acting job, really.
I love MPW but remember. He’s a showman and I bet 80% of that story is fiction. Good fiction 😂
Very hard going! Good grief! Most would have failed and probably did!
@@marcbaxter5996 what exactly is unbelievable? The interview's great because it actually seems genuine. He also teaches a lot along the way. Dont try to have a 'higher opinion' with the "i love him but....".
Thank you adam, all your analysis are gold, you are wise and someone who I take as an inspiration
Lolol i love how you took that women in the kitchen headline right out of context. Didn’t even bother to cover when he clarified the comment lol. Classic
Because Marco doesn't give a shit, the guy turned in his 3 Michelin stars and walked away from that game. He is a living legend, mocking him for his Knorr endorsement is just stupid too, the guy is an invaluable chef and one of the best the world has ever known.
@Clinical Depression Good to see that not everyone buys into this garbage.
@Clinical Depression yes because you don't come off as an asshole who thinks everything he says is right either. Not at all. And he never pretends to be some professional cook or chef. He's actually gone out of his way to say that he isn't.
Clinical Depression key word: “pretty sure”
this home cook with copy skills is justy trying to add to his follower count
notimeremains are you an idiot?
I have to tell you! This is my second time watching this. My husband and I just happened upon this video yesterday and LAUGHED so hard all the way through. Thank you so much. I am loving your content.
i've been reluctant to watch many of your videos, mainly because a few years ago the level of cooking was just not appealing, but you gathered your thoughts which i've got about mpw very well and summed it up extremely, i now regard you as one of the more serious youtube content producers in the cooking segment.
Love this chill type pf videos
If Marco says whisk the roux to break down the starch, im gonna do it, and not give a shit if its not theoretically sound.
Your perception of Marco vastly conflicts with Marco's on the Oxford Union Address. Marco is very humble and said he owes a lot of his success to luck. Also, the term "demand respect" means that one's presence immediately signals others to respect them. But not that the person in question actively demand it.
That oxford address is really mesmerizing. Dude's really got a gift of storytelling, along with ASMResque my-dear-old-father voice. Also what I really like is he's admitting that a lot of success comes from luck, and passion for work can be cultivated over time.
that's because the channel is run by a fucking snob
@Paul Thomas I don't know if this channel made a correction, but he reported the article about how Marco said men were better than women at the kitchen. However, that was taken grossly out of context. He listed like 5-7 different things he thought women were better at than men in the kitchen, and then gave a bone to the men by listing like two things he thought they were better at. He overall even said that women made better cooks. The media only focused on the part where he said men were better. It's a little frustrating that this channel which seemed to have spent a lot of time researching Marco didn't find out about that.
Holy cow, Marco Pierre White's Mediterranean Seafood Stew recipe was the first youtube recipe I tried when I started to learn how to cook for myself! I stumbled onto his video by pure chance, and before that I never heard of him
"he looks how my feet feel when I've had too much wine" bruh that was too much
Also what the fuck does that even mean
He’s an idiot who relies on Google for everything, quotes from scientists and thinks he’s a scientist himself.
@@theAviatoor lol your shit talking ragusea?
@@paqliam yup
Featuring an over the hill celebrity british chef.
My brain:Gordon Ramsay
Marco definitely was the over the hill celebrity british chef before Gordon!
aka daddy
Isn't Gordon Scottish?
@@UMIunited Scotland is part of Britain, ergo Gordon would be British, but also Scottish too.
Marco white was gordons teacher
6:12 -- I've never heard someone articulate this so well. I've felt this way about my practical knowledge set for a while.
This is a conundrum I've been trying to explain for years.
It's not too hard to explain. It's what we normally call colloquially as the difference between book smarts and street smarts. You don't always have to have a grasp over the theory to be able to do it in practice. Most people learn to do something by just doing it, even if their attempt to explain it is plain wrong. A typical example I always heard from my philosophy professor was that you can explain to someone how to ride a bike all you want, but they won't be able to do it until they actually go and get a feel for it on a real bike.
those who can DO, those who cant Teach,
some can do Both, a lot can do Neither
I like those Knorr MPW videos. He really keeps it simple for a lot of home cooks watching, and trying to cook that dish. It is pretty funny how all his interviews and colloquialisms are the same every time.
Adam Ragusea and a few other RUclips chefs have made 2020 worth living through.
I love Marco and his stockpot videos are great.
He is THE legend of British chefs.
No joke I've been watching these for the past week they just randomly popped up in my recommendations
this was a great share, thanks adam
Beautiful. I did not expect this much wisdom from a video commentary on an old chef with a stock pot addiction 😂.
