It's insane how consistent he is at telling his experiences. I watched 6 different interviews with him about his first time working and where he came from and he says it ALWAYS the same, not one detail different. He is the pinnacle of memory.

[@edmoore]

It’s more that this is a well rehearsed and well worn performance by him, and he can railroad some poor student interviewer with it. Other journalists have expressed frustration with how tiresome he is to interview because he just wants to stick to this well-worn working class bootstrap stuff. I’m surprised the adulation in the comment section here, but it shows the value of media-savviness i suppose.

[@obi-wankenobi8446]

I love Marco, but if someone retells the same story, exactly the same down to the very last details multiple times consistently, it means it is a well rehearsed story. If someone is speaking a true story from the heart there will be small details that are different every time, because that's simply how the human mind works. Unless of course you have written the story out and very well rehearsed and memorised it.

[@bored.in.california2111]

​@@obi-wankenobi8446 It might feel like you're missing out but a spontaneous story might also leave out important bits which will leave you truly missing out. This is more like a sermon. Its meant to teach not entertain. You choose your words carefully and your rhythm is set to keep the listeners attention. I appreciate this style more.

​@@edmooreCan you give some examples of the said journalists? Genuinely asking.

[@edmoore]

@@mihir66 oh, absolutely loads. one quick example from googling just now might be Rachel Cooke’s 2015 guardian interview with him, in which she even says how little the interviews with him have moved on. An excerpt: “Two decades on, has anything changed? No. He’s less inclined to hammy tantrums than of old, and he sounds posher, too. But in other ways, he has calcified. The cadences of his speech are more biblical-sounding than ever, his logic more elusive. He remains obsessed with his Italian-born mother, who died of a brain haemorrhage when he was six, and he is still prone to talking about his working-class roots, for all that it’s almost 40 years since he left his father’s house in Leeds”

Chefs (especially top chefs in top restaurants around the world) romantasisze the life of a chef, cooking beautiful food with a smile on there face, and in some cases that is true but they leave out the hardship and blood, sweat, burns and tears it takes to get to the top, the none existant social life and lost friendships and marco has never hid those facts he was and always has been 100% honest about the industry at the top level

I got downsized from one my jobs which I hated and was in it for 5 years. For 5 years I tried really hard to get a good job. I worked hard and I was honest. Then I got a job in a SE Asian country. The salary was much lower and I went from living in a nice 2 bedroom apartment in a city to a tiny room in the middle of the jungle. Then I landed a much better job in the same country. The kind of job i wanted for 5 years. If I hadn’t taken the flight, if I hadn’t taken that first job, I would still be struggling and be unhappy. It was luck that I came to this country.
