>Marco Pierre White on Gordon Ramsey: "I will never speak to him again. I gave him his first break in the business and I believe strongly in being loyal to people who have helped you."
What happened between them?
>>7132723
Marco physically abused him
What the fuck does he expect?
>>7132723
Let's just say involved a Knorr stockpots after a very frustrating service....
>>7132723
Gordon went on to outstanding success, not only in the restaurant business, but as a media personality. Marco is jealous.
>>7132726
as a newfag there is a lot I don't know, especially when it comes to celeb chefs. Since I been watching marco for a lil bit now, he seems like one of the most down to earth and headstrong chefs I ever seen. Apparently has a vicious past I don't know about, and has a bad reputation from his past???
>>7132735
All top Chefs were abusive cunts during those days. It's no secret
They resolved their differences pretty recently
>>7132726
Yeah and Gordon is such a nice guy when he runs a kitchen
>>7132723
the british are fucking retarded
stop worrying about those chefs and worry about others.
>>7132769
who are some god chefs? Particularly american chefs?
>>7132753
He's a fucking cunt too
But that's utterly irrelevant
>>7132769
>the british are fucking retarded

This shit.
>>7132735
Marco was notorious for expelling customers from his restaurant. People who were rude or who drought their kids in. I don't think he was particularly vicious, but he was (one of?) the first celebrity chef(s) to be filmed for television who had that type of "no nonsense" attitude.
>>7132723
I can't tell if you're the knorr shitposter or not. If you are, then hahahah you are very clever.
If not, then:
All I've heard Marco say is that Gordon crashed his wedding with his television camera crew. Which is pretty lame. And that is why he "will never speak to him again".
Source: I spent a lot of time watching all of his youtube videos. He says it in one of them.
>>7132836
That's a pretty shitty thing to do. Weddings are expensive as hell. Can't Ramsay stop attention whoring and making everything about himself for one minute?
>>7132735
>put my foot right in her face and grab it with my toes
>>7132840
Yep, but then again, make hay while the sun shines i guess. $$$
Maybe I was wrong about the youtube video??
Must have read it in this interview:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/3334070/Marco-Pierre-White-I-will-never-speak-to-Gordon-Ramsay-again.html
>It particularly bothered Marco that Ramsay used one of his former’s boss’s analogies about footballers and chefs, and then turned it against him. “I had given an interview in which I said that just as not all good footballers make good managers, not all good chefs make good restaurateurs, then I read an interview he gave and saw that he was saying exactly the same thing but implying that I was a good chef but not a good restaurateur.”
>Then there was the issue of Ramsay turning up at Marco’s wedding to Mati with a camera crew in tow — without permission from either the bride or groom. “In fact, the first we knew about it was when we switched on the television to watch one of his programmes and saw footage of our big day on the screen. Now, that is disgusting behaviour, isn’t it? You tell me. Is that the correct way to treat a so-called friend? I don’t think so.”

>>7132772
Wylie Dufresne
Chris Young
Mario Batali
Dave Arnold
Harold McGee
umm...
there's more just can't think of them.
Really depends on your definition of "chef" and "god". I don't think that any I listed are great restaurateurs. Think Dufresne has a Michelin star.
>>7132880
If the first they knew about it was when they watched it, them they didn't crash or disrupt the wedding. Why such a big deal?
I heard a story about White from a chef I worked with once
>him and a friend were new to his kitchen
>friend is cooking some kind of soup
>White approaches
>"How long has this soup(?) been cooking?"
>"9 seconds, chef"
>White hastily delivers a punch that apparently breaks friend's nose and gives him two black eyes
>yells something like "I told you, no more than 7 seconds!"
Could be bullshit, but he's meant to one of the worst people in the country to work for.

>British """""""""""""""""""""chefs""""""""""""""""""""

Because it's a shitty thing to do to a friend... capitalize on their wedding day to make a buck.
It's disrespectful.
It's not a big deal, to you or me, but it wasn't our wedding day.
>>7132944
>Could be bullshit
You think?
I've been broken before by chefs. And I've broken people as a chef. It's never physical, it's psychological. I don't do it anymore. Stopped giving me a boner, started giving me guilt. I think it's something that is done in youth.

easy there faggot, don't make yourself look like too much of a cockface
Wow you guys went and mucked up this thread.
Why did you do it?
>>7133194
Because I honestly believe Brits have no business posting on a food and cooking board because they have no concept of food or cooking.
>>7133207
>Stay mad cooklet
>>7133207
OK, that's fine but at least take them down in a tasteful manner don't just shit post because then that gives us non-brits bad names.
>>7133207
The fact that you still believe in some WW2-era rationing myth of british food being bland just highlights how much of a retard you are.
>>7133266
I have a hard time disagreeing since when I think british food I think fosh and chops with a cup of earl grey.
>>7133271
That's like saying when you think of american food, you think of some cheap 40% beef burger with a slice of american 'cheese' on it.
Just because you're ignorant in a subject matter, it doesn't invalidate the cooking of a country.
>>7133037
A guy from the deep south has strong christian beliefs. In other news water is wet.
>>7133278
You have a point but it went over my head because of my ego. You could have made a stronger argument if you had listed tasteful examples.

Are any of the American Michelin chefs known for their temper?
I can't imagine Thomas Keller going on a tirade against anyone.
>>7133287
forgot I was the scouting agent for FOX networks...
>>7133287
People are just watching the show for the drama not to actually see Ramsay succeed. Why do you think people still chuckle over Amy? Pepin thinks it's all bullshit anyways.
http://www.thedailymeal.com/how-reality-tv-cooking-shows-get-it-wrong
>>7133292
No.
And the only chefs "known" for their anger are celebrity TV chefs. It's a fucking trade skill. All that hoop and holler is bullshit. Different generation. No one wants to work in a kitchen with that degree of stress. It's hard enough just putting the tickets out in a slammed place, let alone listening to someone's ego haranguing about petty shit. It doesn't bode well, a kitchen run like that. Doesn't serve the customers either. Angry food tastes angry.
>>7133338
This. I worked in kitchens both chain and 'fine dining' to pay for undergrad and while their was plenty of drama and shitty behavior it's not that much worse than a white collar job.
It actually came back to bite me in the ass. I got into the medical field a couple years ago and I thought I was ready to handle the drama. Fuck me, no. So many university doctors are like highly functional sociopaths. And nobody ever reports anything because they don't want to risk residency.

>>7133432
he insinuated that they were bland.
>watching layover in London and this happens
>Marco takes a shot at Ramsey and Tony has a giggle
Holy fuck this episode was awesome.
>>7133441
It was actually open ended - I wrote it like that on purpose. Your cynicism lead you to the assumption that I insinuated they were bland. You've let the darkness into your heart.
>>7133460
the most reasonable way of parsing your post is that you 'have a hard time disagreeing' with the idea that british food is bland. it's not cynicism, learn what that word means.

Marco once employed Mario.
Marco was running a kitchen and was given £500 a week to spend on labour. The owner expected him to employe a team of 3-4 chefs and a pot wash. Instead he paid himself £400 a week and hired one chef which was Mario. He says he "broke him down, mentally and physically".
>>7132723
Ramsay tried to make stock without a Knorr stockpot
Like some other anon said, Ramsay crashed Marcos wedding with a camerca crew.
ramsey acts like a hardcunt but i would rather fight him than marco
marco is a propper hard cunt
