Marco had always wanted his chefs to surpass him, and that's why he acted the way he did. And when Gordon was asked about it, he said this about Marco: "..because he drummed it in. If you want to do it, then you gotta do it to your best. If you can't do it to your best, then get the fuck out of here. Don't waste my time, and certainly don't waste yours". It's clear how much he respected the Great White, and I'm glad that they've buried the hatchet

Sometimes that is a double edged sword. Kind of like fletcher in whiplash, he was extremely harsh because he wanted to push his musicians to be great, but look at what happened to Shaun Casey, he ended up killing himself because he felt could never live up to those expectations. On the other hand Andrew pushes away his relationships, trains so hard he cuts his hands, and grows an ego thinking he’s better than everyone.

[@John-jb6bg]

WDYM? Gordon is a dirty sellout that even random asian youtbers callout on his cookware and ingredients, while Marco is unparalleled chef, a master of his craft that gave up on tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars just for the sake of his integrity. They're on completely different levels. Sure, Gordon makes way more money, but at what cost? He's barely above an average chef in a random cafeteria in eastern Europe, while Marco is a world class chef that refused to play the game. Literally every single video Gordon makes about food is wrong. He gets ingredients wrong, cooking wrong, cookware wrong, just everything is wrong, and the internet is roasting him for it, lol. He's a pretender to be a great chef, with no actual spirit, experience, or will to be one. It's all about marketing. The other "great" chef from UK got grilled to the ground, and Gordon is no different. He learned the basics, he got the character to be entertaining in front of camera, and he rolled with it, completely ignoring the craft. Well, financially he succeeded, but otherwise..? He's always gonna be a laughing stock amongst ACTUAL chefs.

[@CrispinTarbuckles]

They're both legends, just for different reasons. It was Gordon's choice to become more of a media personality than chef. Marco's mother was Italian.

[@jtcreeps5586]

I like Marcos presence and humbleness, when I’ve watched him in shows he doesn’t play up to the cameras cause he probably doesn’t care what people think of him. All that matters is the cooking and I can really appreciate the honesty of it all. Gordon’s shows are fine, he’s got the charisma but it can be a bit over the top and repetitive. But you can definitely see who Gordon has modelled himself around.

[@floraflowers]

You can't blame him for dialing it up to 11 for the camera. He's trying to appeal to a different type of audience, an American audience mostly, so he's gotta play the part. You can't deny Americans love a bit of a show and a trainwreck, it's noticeable when you compare the American version of Kitchen Nightmares with the British one.

I still remember that Boiling Point episode, Gordon was clearly gutted not to beat Marco's record of the 'youngest person to receive 3 Michelin stars'. That was then, this is now. I doubt Gordon thinks about it much anymore. Hes a multi-millionaire, TV star and the most famous chef in the world.

You can definitely tell that both Marco and Gordon were brash and egotystical back then. You had to be if you wanted to make it in this industry. So the two of them having a falling out seems almost like an inevitability. You can certainly feel how age has whethered the two of them in different ways. Marco is now much more calm and at ease compared to his younger days. And Gordon's passion and ambition has been tempered into a more nurtured love and humility to the craft.

[@gdriskyplane3389]

The industry is so over worked and so under paid that passion only exists in like 10% of chefs. The modernisations of chain restaurants, combined with the working conditions means most chefs are just people that had no other choice.

GORDON is a G and MARCO IS TOO. They are the Sith of chefs. And Gordon definitely slayed his master and became superior. Marco is a shadow now, and still the greatest in modern history. He groomed Gordon to succeed him. His anger towards him and silence was in fact a sign of respect

[@Amm17ar]

I think some of the greatest minds and greatest artists who have spent their lives dedicated to the art over life are doomed to suffer the reprocussions. Marco dedicated his life to cooking. Gordon found the balance and optimized it for his benefit. I think there will always be a difference between a Senna and Hamilton, a Kobe. and Lebron or a Messi and Ronaldo, each great in their own respect, but the latter of each just made sure to squeeze every bit of allowance possible to get the most of the opportunity....And you cant blame them for it. Sometimes you give everything to the art and there's little left to give to everything else. Sometimes you recognize you have come close to mastering the art but you need to take care of everything outside the art. Marco is one of the greatest, I think he gave everything he had to cooking and life faded by because that was the most important thing to him. Gordon understood that cooking was everything, but he reached a point where it wasn't anymore. He wanted to built a brand and optimize the opportunity he had been given to ensure him and his family for generations were set. Some purists like Marco might have an issue with that, but its not better, nor worse. Just a different path. I will always respect a great artist, athlete or individual who gives everything to their craft. But I don't hold it against those who take their opportunity to set themselves and their families up for generations to come.
