This guy is a ****ing animal lol. Probably the best chef in the world. Chef's are hard, man. It's a hard business. Gordon trained under him.

Whoa I've seen Marco before but I always thought he was sort of putting on the attitude to try copy the success of Gordon on telly, but you can see he isn't best pleased with that interviewer. Guess that's the single mindedness and determination that separates the good from the great in most professions that require a high degree of skill. Shame Gordon was more successful with the tv stuff.

Watching the second clip of the first episode, he's talking to the woman, facing her while speaking all the while chopping an onion in his fingers as quickly as I have seen.
I break down in tears whenever I bring a knife into proximity with an onion, no idea how chefs aren't affected by it.
He's pretty intense, but the food on the programme isn't too exciting - I guess they hadn't perfected how to make food preparation look sexy in the eighties.

edit: ^I think my gran has one of them deep fat fryer things, she makes good chips.

90's . He's the youngest chef to have gained 3 Michelin stars in the UK, at 33. i don't think Gordon managed it by 33, but was pretty close. Cuz marco retired, Ramsay's the only chef in london to hold 3 stars, now.

I believe Gordon's temper stems from having got such a beating from Marco, the only person to have made Gordon cry! in his early days. Done him good, though. Look at him now!


Nice.

I prefer Hail's YouTube guy's videos for learning to cook, it's simple food explained in a simple way. I mainly find show's like 'Marco' interesting to see the dynamic of the busy kitchen, and the personality of an imposing talent - I wouldn't really care about making the fancy stuff he is showing anyway.
It's like 'foodwishes' is JustinGuitar, encouraging people to learn and explaining well and 'Marco' is one of those 'instructional' tapes that YJM made in the nineties.

what i love about chef john is that he posts experimental stuff in addition to his normal recipes. nothing too difficult (in fact many are to make things easier), but lots of interesting ideas

This guy does it different from Chef John, don't know if it is worth the extra effort though. Most of his vids focus on the basics;









I laughed more than was reasonable at these videos.

i forgot about howtobasic, i'm literally dry heaving with laughter, thank you

I was in pain from laughter when I stumbled upon those videos earlier, especially because I had coincidentally just spent the previous hour watching serious cookery demonstrations. I love how he like destroys a dish and then gently places a piece of lettuce on top or something like that


Anyway, this thread has probably been off-topic long enough, so to un-derail it;
What's the deal with professional wrestling? I don't get it, I mean why do some adults watch it? Is it just a nostalgia thing (I never really watched it as a kid, y'see)?
If you want theatre then there are a lot better places to watch it.
