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.

[@sparks6177]

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.

[@NukerOfFace]

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.

[@Maddbox11235]

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]

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]

@@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.

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.

Someone with confidence in himself doesn't chase Michelin stars.

[@oN3xShOtxkilL]

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.

Did you even watch the video lmao

@@TehUltimateSnake I even watched the talk this video used to make this video.

[@Vv_JASPER_vV]

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.

[@Rellapi]

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

[@joenugent9508]

That was a brilliant watch, thank you for the entertainment.

[@simonmarshall3869]

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

[@LesserOfTwoWeevils]

Hello shill

[@yamatonoryuujin4871]

​@@LesserOfTwoWeevilshello dumbass

[@DasDieDerErik]

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"

[@mindus5760]

@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 ;)

[@RollMeAFat1]

35:30 to be fair those knorr stock pots are goated

[@mahino420]

funfact, their age difference is only 4 years

[@bennyelsensohn9299]

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.

[@HectorGonzalez-qx9nk]

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.

[@RoachDoggJr-v9b]

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

[@OSW]

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

[@ekmad]

What *BAR* is Marco Pierre White?

[@technounionrepresentative4274]

​@@ekmadI don't think knorr makes chocolates or candies

@OSW, nice to see you branch out and appear where I'd least expect you to. Always a treat to see! 😁

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!

[@iamlouis1495]

It makes you never wished to worked on the kitchen restaurant from this.

[@SchweitzerMan]

I really have to applaud you for this documentary. I first saw the Boiling Point documentary on KZbin 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.

[@Kritacul]

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.

[@przemo141]

That's a mastefully produced and edited video, well done man

[@ront0803]

Great video! This is actually one of the best docus I’ve seen on Marco (with Ramsay). Well done!

[@The_Blueyonder]

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.

the lightest 48 minutes of this month, thank you my guy, nice video!

[@onholyservicebound1415]

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.

[@apa5749]

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.

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.

its so quiet that i barely caught it but rewatching it i'm properly cracking up

[@Insommer]

bravo, marco was who made me become a chef 22 years ago after meeting him in london on the tube when i had just left school, we spoke for about 30 minutes between paddington and wembly, he obviously became my favorite chef after that. 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!
