In his old days he really lacked empathy and compassion. Perhaps it was because of the stress in the kitchen but still. That shit was hearthless.

    One note about the knorr stock cubes. I don’t think it was “shilling” that’s stock is truly fantastic and I believe Marco truly likes the product. Now if he wasn’t being paid he would probably just suggest stock cubes generically and not a specific brand like he did before the knorr deal. Marco at the time was out of the professional chef scene and was working on just enjoying cooking as a passion for the first time in his life, so I find it very believable that he just really liked not having to spend 12 hours tending a stock pot to get decent stock like he had probably done countless times in his restaurant days. It also goes with his more “every man” style of cooking at the time, stock cubes are accessible and cheap, so you can focus on learning to make a full meal instead of spending weeks learning to make stock which is just one small ingredient.

      @Maddbox11235 2 месяца назад +72

      Yeah, making stock is basically making soup from scratch. It's great if you're going to be in the kitchen all day anyway, or if you've got an assistant who does nothing but make stock, but if you just got home from work and your kids are hungry, making stock basically doubles the time it takes to make a meal. And realistically, most people cannot tell the difference. I'm sure a top-level chef or food critic can, but normal people would never be able to notice.

    • @vincentchow6448
      @vincentchow6448 2 месяца назад +17

      Yeah, I don't think MPW is shilling here. Using chicken stock or beef stock does truly elevate home cooking - there's a huge difference in the depth of flavour that a good stock cube (well, I use powder) brings to the flavour of a simple veggy dish. Best part is that it doesn't take any extra time. You can literally just boil veg with a stock cube and have it taste pretty damn good and it'll be a very healthy dish. Or make a sauce with the stock cube (just boil it in water) and add on top of the veg and it'll taste way better than just salted boiled veg.
      The real crime is not using beef/chicken/veg stock.

    • @sparks6177
      @sparks6177 2 месяца назад +11

      @@vincentchow6448 yeah, I also forgot to mention that for most people keeping fresh stock available is sort of tedious outside of just having to cook it. It only lasts a week in the fridge and most jarred/carton stock is more often a miss than it is a hit. I also think the concentrated nature of powdered stock is a huge benefit. It’s made fun of as sort of a meme, but Marco was dead on when he suggested it be used as salt sometimes. Roasted veg with the standard seasoning and a little stock powder mixed in is one example where you get so much flavor that you couldn’t replace with liquid stock. Also sort of niche but even a fairly decent sized cold storage and pantry couldn’t hold enough chicken stock for a lot of what I cook. I use the big canisters of stock powder and those make like 75 gallons worth of stock and I’ve gone through 2 of those in a year before.

    Imagine being one of those people who got pushed to the brink, so Marco could get his Michelin Stars as fast as possible.
    And then you hear he gave them back soon after reaching top rank, bc he became disillusioned with the reality of reaching his goal, and the guy who tortured you to make it to the top just f's off to the woods to find himself. Absolutely wild.

      ever looked into how many michelin star chefs(millionares) he created? ever thought about how many michelin star chefs those chefs created?
      im not a cook, i am a hairdresser and i know how industry leader vidal sassoon ended up creating over 300 millionares through apprenticeship and in turn creating tens of thousands of jobs, i would imagine marco legacy is much the same.

      It's an excellent case study of what happens when a man is so devoted to his life's goals that he succeeds and is then forced to continue to live with it after; What does he do? How does he simply live in this world he's successfully made a mark on, while still being alive to be called that, a living legend?

    I don’t think his stock obsession is shilling, it’s pretty much impossible to make good stock at home and it’s an extremely powerful way of adding flavor. And using bouillon in place of salt isn’t crazy, it’s super salty and flavorsome, but I think it takes a degree of talent to not have the dish turn into a ramen seasoning packet.

    Honestly, your last line about Marco is what I love about him most. “It’s your choice” may be a meme to many, but I understand where he’s coming from when he says it. For so long, he lived and worked for others; either for his dad, his mentors, or the Michelin Guide. But he now knows what he wants and makes the conscious decision to get it. Whether it’s your food or some random thing, Marco’s telling others to choose what they like, what they want out of life…and he must like Eminem because of that tasty Mom’s Spaghetti.

    The real difference between Marco and Gordon is that Marco is real and Gordon is an act, Gordon has changed significantly over the years, he is an actor and puts on a show, a comedian too, that benefits him. Marco doesn't give af, he sometimes gets angry and nobody is immune to their own reputation. But to me he doesn't seem to strive to be this aggressive or scary man he's usually quite nice and calm especially in his old age.

    I really have to applaud you for this documentary. I first saw the Boiling Point documentary on RUclips years ago and even thought he wasn't featured a lot, I became very interested in Marco Pierre White. I loved the Marco Cooks For... series, giving us an insight into the world that he operated in and what it took to make these masterful dishes that lead to Michelin stars (Also I commend you on the quality of the footage because it's the best I've seen it and you can't even find those videos anymore). Heck, you had some stuff here I'd never heard before; I had never heard that Desert Island Disc interview but found the whole thing and will listen to it later.
    One thing I was expecting you to touch on was his personal life, particularly his two short marriages, in particular to Lisa Butcher, who I think claimed he told her shortly after marriage, "I don't love you." I also thought you'd touch upon the unfortunate problems his son has had with drugs (Ironic, considering everyone THOUGHT Marco did drugs but he never touched them). But I can understand why you may have chose not to as this is more about CHEF Marco than just Marco the man.
    Another thing that has become very noticeable to me lately is his health. I saw a discussion he did at Cambridge Union a few months ago and while the audio quality is terrible, Marco both looked and sounded unwell. Lately in videos his voice is almost down to a raspy whisper and I wonder if all those years of smoking are taking a toll on him.
    If anything I find lately Marco's become a bit repetitive, interviewers ask him the same questions and he gives the same answers. One thing I would like to know is how he went about to get those five Red Knives and Forks. It's one thing to say, "We pushed and pushed" but...what did you REALLY do? How do you get front of house service THAT perfect when he didn't have (As far as I know) any experience outside of the kitchen.
    Nonetheless, I really liked this and I think you made the right choice in making it.

    I never cried working in the kitchen, but i know Marco could make me cry if i were to work with him.
    That mental health thing is universal. Not just michelin star restaurants, it also happens to kitchen workers in other kinds of restaurants. Especially the kind where the owners or managers have never worked in the kitchen before and they focus on making profit.
    If you read this and you wanna become a chef, maybe you should find another field of work as a backup plan. Most restaurants can drain you physically and mentally.

What i like is that what you see on TV is exactly how he behaves in person when no cameras are around, i got to meet him again many years later after i had become some what successful in the chef world, nothing compared to him but decent. He said he remembered our conversation and seemed thrilled that i had become a chef and succeeded. Hoping i bump into him again one day. I think your video did a great job covering him, well done!

    Gordon is a viper, fast a vicious. Marco is a cobra, he will just ruse up and stare at you because he knows how powerful he is. Love them both.

    I absolutely love him after retirement. It's like a zen master cooking and the way he talks about feeling the food. My go to guide for any cooking.

    Using music from Oblivion during the supermarket conversations was 19/20 (because perfection doesn't exist apparently). Great video!

    The man used to reduce 3,4 chickens ( then binned) for stock to make 1 high class chicken dish. He's not shillin for stock pots, he believes this is a good product. That also costs 45p each ( knorr did sponsor him true). He knows 3,4 chickens is better but not for most people. H tries for accessibility but he never left the hard kitchen life really

      I think, one could summarize it as "He believes that stock post are enough, but he's also monetarily incentivized to tell you which brand of stock pot"

    The bond villain pudding clip is perfect, he really only speaks in villain monologues and demonic one liners. Very well researched video btw.

    So let me get this right, he turned his back on the Michellin because he didn’t wanna sell his soul and then quits cooking and comes back after 5 years only to sell his soul for Knorr cubes? 😂
