"I didn't make him cry, he made himself cry. That was his choice to cry." I'm pretty sure that was lifted word for word from my brother and I's childhood.
He plugs stock cubes so hard because he believes they are a sort of gateway drug into cooking a wider variety of soups, stews, sauces, etc., and more of your own meals at home.
When i was a young teenager i promised myself that i would never end up as my father. But i have recently seen myself grow into my father light. I hate myself for it, but i also understood that it was necessary.
I love the knor cube thing, because I see a bunch of people from the us making fun of marco, but growing up in Mexico, so much of the food I make has chicken, beef and tomato stock cubes, I fucking use them all the time, marco just made people realize that you don't need to buy the most expensive thing ever to cook tasty food, you just need to know how to use what you have
If you look at the types of food hes trained in, Italian, English and French they are all heavily using stocks. And stock cubes let you cheat the long process to make a good stock
@@V-O-V and they are an easy way to get into those styles of cooking which are already difficult and complex without spending even more time learning to make stock.
22:29 "I don't care how many boys we've gotta go through to get results" 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.
WOW, you dont think much do you? typical narcissist that just looks at the next guys success and is jealous of anyone above you. ever thought that anyone in his kitchen can work anywhere in the world just on the strength of their CV having been employed at his 3star restaurant? 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.
Marco really shunned the poor chef for going to his grandfathers wake after the funeral but he himself can´t get over the death of his mum and thinks of her so often. 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.
This is common practise. i've experienced this and witnessed it first hand. Alot of chefs missed out on births of children, birthdays, deaths of loved ones. So they expect you to do the same. Nothing matters, just as long as the customer get's the chefs reheated shit served on a plate quickly.
@SeraphimLeo You realise that we work from 3pm to 1am. for shit pay i might add. you're never going to sustain healthy relationships working as a chef. it's not just mising one day. it's missing shcool meetings and shows, it's not being able to go to football practise with your kids. It's seeing your family one day a week. it's never being able to plan going out with your friends. Your work becomes your life. Even in a country like mine where it's your right to take work off for important social events. it's literally the law. the culture is so fucked that you'll be repremanded or treated poorly for doing so. even though that is also not legal. And then to top it off you're left in your mid 30s or 40s with a broken body and poor health.
@SeraphimLeo It's not over sentimentalized, its a special occasion that happens once in your life. The funny thing is that if your steady employment require you to miss a important day in your life, its not a steady employment, you are a steady employee working for a unstable workplace.
@SeraphimLeo Yeah, obviously i chose this career path for a reason. it's for the art it self. what is often overlooked however is that this applies to regular fine dining restaurants aswell. i've worked at pretty much all levels at the age of 24. and i am left with a distane for the industry as a whole.
The fact that he recognised early on that the more laid back conditions actually made him a better more relaxed cook, but chose to become an even bigger tyrant than anyone he had been under makes him even more of a knob than I previously thought
He's mellowed out a lot in recent years, and his recipes are always pretty laid back - it's always just 'a bit of this, a bit of that, and put in the oven until it's ready'. He's actually pretty relaxing to listen to, as long as he's had his stock pot fix to take the edge off
The best part of it is that i feel like he meant it in less of a “im famous im important” kind of way but in a more esoteric “you dont know me well enough to understand what your treatment of me might buy you.”
The Knorr videos are actually really good, like yeah they're adverts, but they have lots of good ideas and concepts and can present a good way to introduce someone to cooking.
@@mikemcklieve he mastered and perfected his "craft & art" and what he's interested the most about. remember bud, knowing or owning everything doesn't equal greatness. it doesn't take someone loads of mastery to gain respect. sometimes, those who are very amazing at one thing can also amaze the world. i'd say we try to appreciate everyone, even if we don't like them
Marco being born to be a chef is really understating it. His grandpa was a chef, his dad was a chef, his older brothers grew up to become chefs, and his mother was Italian. It really is a no-brainer.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
Its a godsend to everyday domestic households and even industrial commercial kitchens, it brings results and is cost effective, the once who whines are simple dumb food and michelin afficionados that thinks anyone can produce stock base from bones all the time easily
@@someasiandude4797it’s a hard industry man, I worked as a chef for 6-7 years before I finally just said screw it, focused on my mental health. I love to still cook for people i care about but I hate the food industry.
You just don't know what it is like to work as a chef with that kind of schedule. I know though. I've seen chefs nearly passing out at their work place. And the restaurant where I work at isn't nearly as savage as Marco's.
Lots of chefs do end up using substances because of how brutal the work is. All that stress, lack of rest, constant work, not being able to eat much if at all and lack of social life would do anybody in@@someasiandude4797
It's really astounding that none of these guys have ever ended up dead before. You walk up to some guy with a butcher's knife in his hand and you start berating him and taunting him about his home life and eventually you're gonna find someone who hasn't got the right temperment for that.
These chefs do not work in the kind of kitchen you’re imagining. People line up around the world for the chance to learn from them. This isn’t the corner bar with the felons you’re probably used to. Even coming up, chefs find their jobs based on WHO they work for, and this guy was a maverick early. Also in England. American labor and kitchen labor especially is heavily staffed by ex cons.
Gotta consider how fucking tall he is too. I’ve seen attacks and been attacked in kitchens, now I work fine dining, the level of professionalism rapidly increases the finer of the place you work.
oh trust me, it takes a lot of self control not to bash the little twerp screaming at you for something you didn't even do with the heavy copper pan in your hand... you're usually there because you want to learn from them, so you just hold it in until it's not worth it anymore and gtfo 🤷
He seems like such a piece of garbage.. He reminds me of Johnny Rotten with that childish way he think it's cool to be evil. No one would like any other type of boss who treats his staff like that, but for some reason the people who cook your potatoes get away with it, I get that it's a stressful and all that, and they need to be the best etc. I'm just surprised anyone wants to do this for a living..
@@Myrzghe I feel like it's far more complicated than that. He is clearly a perfectionist, a control freak, and extremely competitive. Marco seems miserable and stressed out when in a professional kitchen. I think it's all that bleeding out, rather than some effort to appear as the bad guy. The abuse is a way for him to try to stay in control of the stressful situation. It's like that guy at 15:25 says: "If you've got the serious Marco, you've got a problem. If you've got the other Marco, you can have a good time with him."
Results do not justify abuse. It is not normal for the owner or your boss to treat you this way, I do not care what anyone tells you, if you are in a situation like this, leave. If you boss ever lays hands on you, you lay two on them. Do not die licking the boot of a person who wouldn't do the same for you.
i know right? leave this shitty jobs immediately. and whenever they have a real crisis because there are no more chefs available, at least the attitude will change then
The culture is well known amongst chefs and aspiring chefs and it was BUILT BY them, FOR them for the purpose of perfecting their craft. You're the one who doesn't have the right to walk in and demand changes. Stay in your lane.
@@jasonhymes3382 I think that chefs as a subculture often drew connotations to the vices of society such as substance abuse and violence. It is quite contrasting then to see such a disciplined and militaristicly organized work structure. Although this might be the type of environments that people with a lot of personal issues have an easier time actually functioning in
Outcasts and misfits are terms relating to social connections, not your ability to follow a system or commands. Those aren't mutually exclusive of one another. In fact, "outcasts" can become drawn to militaristic lifestyles, especially those who were already bred from a harsh family upbringing.
When you watch interviews or talk to a lot of martial artists they'll often say the same kind of things I think it's obvious to people how martial arts would help confidence, but it's a lot more than just "I don't have to be afraid of being hurt by someone", it's knowing that you've put time into this thing and you understand the details and the nuance and the art, and you love it, it gives you something you can love about yourself too. I think cooking and any other art form are like this.
"I became incredibly lost and I did exactly what I did when I was 6, when I was 6 my mother died and I turned to mother nature, she was my surrogate mother, she looked after me." -proceeds to shoot a shit ton of birds in the forest.
Actually, seasoning your stake with salted stock cubes or even powdered salted stock mixed with a bit of water - makes your steak better than having just salt. Its a thing.
Not only did that chef have to attend his grandfather’s funeral but he had come back to work afterwards where he AND his grandfather who he grieved for insulted! They said that they could handle it and that Harvey’s made them better chefs but I don’t think the ability to bottle all of that up is a good thing…
There's a quote I can't quite remember, but it goes something like: "The thrill is in the getting, not in the having." Basically, some people find meaning in chasing their dreams, but once they achieve them, they feel empty because they've lost their purpose for living. I think Marco wanted those Michelin stars, but I don't know if he wanted to earn them that early on in his life.
Well, he only realized that he didn’t quite want it after he got the stars. And what I really think made him regret was the system. To quote him “you are being judged by people who know less than you do” in this case the people being the food “experts” and “critics”. And it seems reasonable. Why work so hard to impress people that never worked as hard and don’t have half of your skills? He loves cooking, just stopped loving cooking to impress snobs.
@@stangadoboaradreaptaomoara9567 Watch the Anime called "Food Wars" the MC Father is just like Marco now but they go into his past and you see who he use to be.
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.
@@TzunSu A majority of people nowadays don't really have the time to mind a pot for the time it takes to make stock, plus you wont necessarily have the space to store it long term. Cubes are perfectly fine alternatives. If not that, then powdered stock works fine too. Homemade stock isn't inherently better or worse than stock cubes in a majority of scenarios.
I have gotten almost 40 minutes in, and am just now noticing this doesn't even have 1k views yet. This should be 5 or 6 digits views, it's so engrossing!
I've shared this video around to friends. I honestly didn't know anything about his life before he started shilling Knorr's stock pots aside from him being the man that made Gordon Ramsay who he was. 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 KNEW what that was from when that clip started. I was thinking "did the mad lad of an editor actually place Christopher Young's main title theme from Hellraiser, one of the most iconic horror films of all time, over Marco talking about puddings?".
Amazing video!!! I really enjoyed it and glad to hear his story summarised so well. Your synopsis at the end was amazing. Thanks so much for making it!
I got this recommended, checked the comments and was like eh guess we'll see about that Simon You're so right I've already watched a bunch more of his videos by now so happy I found this channel!
I just wanna give kudos to the narrator. so many comedic gems in his narration. Even the description of this video "I didn't have to make this video. It was my choice" great comedy sir
Hugo, you never cease to deliver with your sharp writing and delightful vocal delivery. Your writing delights me to no end; it's a refreshing wind within a RUclips-essay world of stagnant, bland words. The delivery of that writing is so damn entertaining. I can hear your confusion, your wonder, and just how entertained you are at the video subjects. Feels like we are laughing together during your videos and I love that.
“He always talks about Knorr stock pots like he’s imbueing you with arcane knowledge” made me laugh out loud at 5 in the morning. Brilliant. I also loved the “he always looks like he’s explaining himself to cops” comment you added. This is one of my fav youtube videos now
@37:40 when he did that with the chicken stock in his early years, he was praised a genius. same principle with stock cubes. doubble the beef flavor. however, its your choice ;)
This is so weird because yesterday night i was telling my friend about this dude and couldnt remember his name because i had too much apple juice. Now i get to watch an entire documentary by one of my favourite youtubers all about him
I've worked in many kinds of restaurants for the last 12 years, without a formal culinary education, working my way up from dishwashing, now i'm a CDP. 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. Now i'm addicted to nicotine and energy drinks. Gotta love it.
Marco reminds me of my grandfather, you can ask him anything and he will tell you a tip and a whole ass story of how he learned that, and you just sit there in awe
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"
Wow, that was such a joy to watch! The Voiceover, selected footage and choice for background music is very pleasing. I wasn't aware of how much Marco recalls beautiful events with his mother. She must have meant a lot to him and it shows in his eyes when he talks about her.
Marco has always given me an impression of a man with absolute confidence in himself. He knows exactly who he is and what he can do, and that's more than enough.
He has the drive for sure, but I don't want to support someone who uses that power to abuse others. EDITED: Don't want to support him with the way he treats others, but I would absolutely hands down learn from the master himself, he qualified as a leader who knows what exactly he is doing.
Chef Marco is one of very best storytellers I’ve seen outside of the industry besides Chef Bourdain .. as a former chef watching him cook on masterchef is like seeing a live orchestra.
how on earth do you have less than 10 million subscribers, let alone less than 10k? One of the best videos i've seen on youtube in a long time, i loved this
Whaaaat, for real 😮 I just watched the whole thing, didn't even think to look at the sub count since it looked like something very popular channels would make Yeah, good jib, this channel needs more ppl
this is literally my favourite video of all time im gonna rewatch it throughout my life for new meanings that occur to me as i age and shit. Bro your channel could be dead and i will still watch this video
Just today I watched all of your videos again, because I really like them and your style a lot, when I was thinking to myself „I really hope DR Hugo hasn’t quit youtube, it’s been a while…“ and here you go! Thanks for another awesome vid! You‘re genuinely up there with the best video essay youtubers! Keep up the amazing work, love from Switzerland!
Marco is STILL honing his craft and only wants to get better. Gordon doesn't need to do that and show up on Hot Ones and make a few hundred thousand dollars.
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.
Really enjoyable retrospective on Marco's life! Really well paced, 48m flew by. The abrupt chapters freaked me out i thought my internet had gone! Did you spot Dexter's soundtrack? (31:08) using a serial killer's music is hilarious
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.
How you analysed the supermarket scenes (and edited it w/ the Oblivion music) is my favourite thing in a YT documentary in a long while - 33:26 onwards.
What Marco did to the guy who went to his grandpas funeral disgusts me. If you ever said that you really just need to reevaluate your life, there is no excuse or justification for that. "Ohhh I have to do it to make the kitchen functioning and reach new heights" - no you dont. Quit your job, leave the kitchen and end this non-human behavior
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. He has big dog energy, doesn't need to bark.
i've literally been on a masterchef/hell's kitchen marathon these past few days, so seeing this pop up, i thought it was another compilation but IT'S A DR HUGO VIDEO WAHOOOOOOOO
One if the problems with attaining your goals too early in life is realizing how much more life there is to go.

The best part of it is that i feel like he meant it in less of a “im famous im important” kind of way but in a more esoteric “you dont know me well enough to understand what your treatment of me might buy you.”
"understand what I am"** Which is more disturbing.
@andrewdavies3584 🤣 That's a great point lol
The Knorr videos are actually really good, like yeah they're adverts, but they have lots of good ideas and concepts and can present a good way to introduce someone to cooking.
Marco Pierre White is the chef equivalent of "you have finally defeated the main antagonist of your story, now go fight God"
He's been a chef for almost a half century but couldn't cook other dishes than french and italian. He's an overated celebrity
@@mikemcklieve A chef that mastered his specific craft to perfection is not overrated
@@mikemcklieve should bruce lee know every martial art?
@@mikemcklieve he mastered and perfected his "craft & art" and what he's interested the most about. remember bud, knowing or owning everything doesn't equal greatness. it doesn't take someone loads of mastery to gain respect. sometimes, those who are very amazing at one thing can also amaze the world. i'd say we try to appreciate everyone, even if we don't like them
He's a specialist.
Not a generalist.
Marco being born to be a chef is really understating it. His grandpa was a chef, his dad was a chef, his older brothers grew up to become chefs, and his mother was Italian.
It really is a no-brainer.
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.
You can always tell when someone hasn't tried Knorr. They act like Marco sold out. Shit is literally miraculous in the kitchen, he's prometheus.
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.
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.
@@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.
Its a godsend to everyday domestic households and even industrial commercial kitchens, it brings results and is cost effective, the once who whines are simple dumb food and michelin afficionados that thinks anyone can produce stock base from bones all the time easily

You just don't know what it is like to work as a chef with that kind of schedule. I know though. I've seen chefs nearly passing out at their work place. And the restaurant where I work at isn't nearly as savage as Marco's.
Lots of chefs do end up using substances because of how brutal the work is. All that stress, lack of rest, constant work, not being able to eat much if at all and lack of social life would do anybody in@@someasiandude4797
Gordon Ramsay is the person you dont want to be yelled at by, Marco Pierre White is the person you dont want to disappoint.
It's really astounding that none of these guys have ever ended up dead before. You walk up to some guy with a butcher's knife in his hand and you start berating him and taunting him about his home life and eventually you're gonna find someone who hasn't got the right temperment for that.
These chefs do not work in the kind of kitchen you’re imagining. People line up around the world for the chance to learn from them. This isn’t the corner bar with the felons you’re probably used to. Even coming up, chefs find their jobs based on WHO they work for, and this guy was a maverick early. Also in England. American labor and kitchen labor especially is heavily staffed by ex cons.
Gotta consider how fucking tall he is too. I’ve seen attacks and been attacked in kitchens, now I work fine dining, the level of professionalism rapidly increases the finer of the place you work.

We all know what went down when Mr. White was away from home…
Honestly surprised Marco's never been stabbed by anyone...
He seems like such a piece of garbage.. He reminds me of Johnny Rotten with that childish way he think it's cool to be evil. No one would like any other type of boss who treats his staff like that, but for some reason the people who cook your potatoes get away with it, I get that it's a stressful and all that, and they need to be the best etc. I'm just surprised anyone wants to do this for a living..
@@Myrzghe I feel like it's far more complicated than that. He is clearly a perfectionist, a control freak, and extremely competitive. Marco seems miserable and stressed out when in a professional kitchen. I think it's all that bleeding out, rather than some effort to appear as the bad guy. The abuse is a way for him to try to stay in control of the stressful situation.
It's like that guy at 15:25 says: "If you've got the serious Marco, you've got a problem. If you've got the other Marco, you can have a good time with him."
That is the tool of the simpleton and there is no room for simpletons in a respected kitchen
meet him and say that. also he didnt get stabbed he choose to get stabbed.
I feel that surely he is breaking WHS to a criminally liable degree
"I don't think you understand what I am. I control myself very well"

@@thegrinderman1090That's beyond pathetic.
The culture is well known amongst chefs and aspiring chefs and it was BUILT BY them, FOR them for the purpose of perfecting their craft. You're the one who doesn't have the right to walk in and demand changes. Stay in your lane.
I always found it very ironic that chefs that described themselves as "outcasts and misfits" would adhere to such a militaristic style of working.
They're all fucked in the head.
I don't get it, I wouldn't consider militaristic life styles to be common among people or generally accepted, thus making them even bigger outcasts.
@@jasonhymes3382 I think that chefs as a subculture often drew connotations to the vices of society such as substance abuse and violence. It is quite contrasting then to see such a disciplined and militaristicly organized work structure. Although this might be the type of environments that people with a lot of personal issues have an easier time actually functioning in
Outcasts and misfits are terms relating to social connections, not your ability to follow a system or commands. Those aren't mutually exclusive of one another.
In fact, "outcasts" can become drawn to militaristic lifestyles, especially those who were already bred from a harsh family upbringing.
When you watch interviews or talk to a lot of martial artists they'll often say the same kind of things I think it's obvious to people how martial arts would help confidence, but it's a lot more than just "I don't have to be afraid of being hurt by someone", it's knowing that you've put time into this thing and you understand the details and the nuance and the art, and you love it, it gives you something you can love about yourself too. I think cooking and any other art form are like this.

Actually, seasoning your stake with salted stock cubes or even powdered salted stock mixed with a bit of water - makes your steak better than having just salt. Its a thing.

Can't say I agree. If the steak is a really good one, all you need is salt to bring out the flavor.

Not only did that chef have to attend his grandfather’s funeral but he had come back to work afterwards where he AND his grandfather who he grieved for insulted! They said that they could handle it and that Harvey’s made them better chefs but I don’t think the ability to bottle all of that up is a good thing…
Yeah if that was me and Marco slapped me… one of us would of left in a stretcher.
A guy who spent 22 years chasing something he didn't want.
@@TehUltimateSnake I even watched the talk this video used to make this video.
There's a quote I can't quite remember, but it goes something like: "The thrill is in the getting, not in the having."
Basically, some people find meaning in chasing their dreams, but once they achieve them, they feel empty because they've lost their purpose for living. I think Marco wanted those Michelin stars, but I don't know if he wanted to earn them that early on in his life.
Well, he only realized that he didn’t quite want it after he got the stars. And what I really think made him regret was the system. To quote him “you are being judged by people who know less than you do” in this case the people being the food “experts” and “critics”. And it seems reasonable. Why work so hard to impress people that never worked as hard and don’t have half of your skills? He loves cooking, just stopped loving cooking to impress snobs.
@@stangadoboaradreaptaomoara9567 Watch the Anime called "Food Wars" the MC Father is just like Marco now but they go into his past and you see who he use to be.
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.
How is it impossible to make good stock at home? You just simmer bones and aromatics, it's not magic.
@@lordmuhehe4605 I was more referring to the time it takes, not the difficulty of the task.
@@loldoctor Eh, doesn't take more than a few hours, and you don't really need to even watch it.
@@TzunSu A majority of people nowadays don't really have the time to mind a pot for the time it takes to make stock, plus you wont necessarily have the space to store it long term. Cubes are perfectly fine alternatives. If not that, then powdered stock works fine too. Homemade stock isn't inherently better or worse than stock cubes in a majority of scenarios.
@TzunSu "eh just takes a few hours" I can cook a meal in a few hours. No way in hell I'm doing that for an ingredient.

I've shared this video around to friends. I honestly didn't know anything about his life before he started shilling Knorr's stock pots aside from him being the man that made Gordon Ramsay who he was.
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?
Well now it does
Wouldn’t be surprised if the guy would kill an innocent man just to make a dish.
They knew what they were doing adding the Hellraiser theme to his show.
I KNEW what that was from when that clip started. I was thinking "did the mad lad of an editor actually place Christopher Young's main title theme from Hellraiser, one of the most iconic horror films of all time, over Marco talking about puddings?".
And in the British Feast they used the Dexter soundtrack
“I did not make him cry. It was his choice to cry” jesus
I actually agree with Marco. Gordon lost control of his emotions and let it take control of him.

I've worked in many kinds of restaurants for the last 12 years, without a formal culinary education, working my way up from dishwashing, now i'm a CDP.
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.
Now i'm addicted to nicotine and energy drinks. Gotta love it.
the oblivion music while he's asking strangers to smell oranges etc is just terribly funny. terrific video and brilliant music choices

Marco has always given me an impression of a man with absolute confidence in himself. He knows exactly who he is and what he can do, and that's more than enough.
Someone with confidence in himself doesn't chase Michelin stars.
He has the drive for sure, but I don't want to support someone who uses that power to abuse others.
EDITED: Don't want to support him with the way he treats others, but I would absolutely hands down learn from the master himself, he qualified as a leader who knows what exactly he is doing.
Chef Marco is one of very best storytellers I’ve seen outside of the industry besides Chef Bourdain .. as a former chef watching him cook on masterchef is like seeing a live orchestra.

Marco is STILL honing his craft and only wants to get better. Gordon doesn't need to do that and show up on Hot Ones and make a few hundred thousand dollars.
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.

@@StanLongQuaummm akshuallyyy 👆🤓
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.
Never thought I'd watch a video essay about a chef and see multiple team fortress 2 references yet here I am

This guy could be one of the greatest movie actors just by being himself.
I absolutely love Marco and Gordon, but honestly, their mentality is just too insane
It makes you never wished to worked on the kitchen restaurant from this.
What Marco did to the guy who went to his grandpas funeral disgusts me. If you ever said that you really just need to reevaluate your life, there is no excuse or justification for that. "Ohhh I have to do it to make the kitchen functioning and reach new heights" - no you dont. Quit your job, leave the kitchen and end this non-human behavior
35:30 to be fair those knorr stock pots are goated
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.
He has big dog energy, doesn't need to bark.
Gordon Ramsay is more of a businessman. He needs to put out an image about himself while Marco doesn't really care what people say about him.
