Saturday Night Show - Marco Pierre White (18/2/12)

Brendan O'Connor chats with renowned culinary enfant terrible Marco Pierre White. The ex super chef discusses why he no longer talks to former protégé Gordon Ramsay, and how his Dublin restaurant is flourishing and why he doesn't miss being in the kitchen.

[@LYJManchesterUnited]

This guy's not a chef , he's a philosopher.

[@vanshuppal2291]

He's both. And a genius in both.

[@tallgom]

My thoughts exactly. Very well said.

[@christiaanventer5617]

Agreed

[@gianmarcozecca8205]

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

[@borghese84]

Marco is such a carismatic person. He could teach in university as he has an innate ability to catch your attention. I feel he could read the telephone book and find it still interesting

[@SashiKouran]

I can relate with him.It's the pain that made you changed so drastically.

[@mooseandspade6251]

he could not teach in a university unless it was a course in cuisine. Teaching in university does not require a distinct ability to hold the attention beyond any other institution or professional context: if you mean that Marco could become a teacher, then yes, but he could not teach in a university for political science, for instance.

[@epicusss]

Well, my english is very poor, i can understand what you write, but i cant understand more than 5% of this interview, dont matter i see the full interview like an hymnotized

[@chubbybeng]

Wow...I have new found respect for Marco Pierre White. He handled himself with so much dignity and strength during the interview.

[@Jacklineseni]

Marco Pierre White is not only a masterchef but also a motivational speaker.... What a blessing, Marco!!!!

[@Shannmeister]

The way MPW cut the interviewer down to size was brilliant. Just the right tone of voice and the right look in the eye. I wouldn't cross his path. I also liked his comments on self discovery.

[@dvsramakrishna3165]

Philosopher more than a Chef

[@GodConsciousness]

I get that vibe, too. But that's MPW now. Imagine him back in the 80s, fighting to get those 3 stars. BTW, Ramsay did a totally dick move during White's wedding. He effectively violated his private life. I can understand why he burned that bridge and it's on Ramsay's head.

[@Demowan]

@@GodConsciousness Actually, Ramsay also framed White for burglary... But White is too classy to mention it. It's a very disconcerting story.

[@Ashi123g]

Am I the only one who found the show host Brendon O'Connor annoying quite a bit???

[@sweetrandall8883]

that jerk

[@johnjones6601]

Would that you were the only one ! What a jerk. The fact that he's repeatedly interrupting Marco and not letting him have his say, is proof he's not really listening: which is another way of saying, he's not really interested in what Marco has to say. Good on Marco for calling out his rudeness live on air,instead of pretending to find his forced banter amusing,which it most certainly wasn't.

[@athingbaijam2609]

The last part. What an arse.

[@jasecarter1]

What a noble, honest, mezmerising man....I could listen to him all day!....I'd love to learn from and work for this amazing man.

[@kenshiro7853]

So much respect for this guy. The greatest

[@mikeuvthecave]

no he's not, he's a joke, who gives a fuck about a cook who can make a proper egg? pathetic that people like this are elevated to stardom while brain surgeons are without praise.

[@grandmidoister8661]

mike m Not every chef is praised only the really good ones. Plus basically any doctor is praised, we may not know their names but in society they are universally praised for what they do. Similar to soldiers and police officers.

[@bionic1matt]

Just because you're looking for famous chefs doesn't mean there aren't famous brain surgeosn, you just don't look for them.

[@moonmadness9465]

I love how Marco speaks with his hands. He reminds me of a composer while he speaks. Using his hands, he enunciates words. I have decided in the past few days while learning about him and his past, that he is a true genius ans perfectionist. He has an obsessive love for what he does. I consider him to be the epitome of a man.

[@bllybao]

he is such an inspiration, his cooking and his philosophy is very wise

[@TheBenzooh]

Marco is amazing. I love him! He is such an inspiration.

[@elessar5848]

What Marco says here is very important. Whatever your job is, whatever you do for a living: in essence, stay close to yourself. Do it your way, the way you feel is the best. I'm not talking about procedures or simple processes, but the bigger picture. And if your boss or bosses don't like it? Don't change. That's the journey Marco refers to. If and when you stay close to yourself, you might just discover on that journey that everything you did, every job you had, was merely a path to discovering what you really want in the short time we have on this planet. And that knowledge my friends is worth more than everything. Marco Pierre is a very very wise man. Through default ;)

[@ans2810]

Ramsay brought a camera crew to Marco's wedding that hid in the bushes, you can't make this Shit up 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@HTHAMMACK1]

It sounds like he did make that up.

[@mansman2167]

@@HTHAMMACK1 Except it's true. Watch Ramsay's Boiling Point. Find out before you open your mouth ignorantly.

[@adyk.7575]

But why?

[@Jonnywalters38]

Ramsay also stole a client book from the restaurant Marco was working at at the time which sabatarged his work. Ramsay is brutal

[@inkubusdamon9163]

[@CryptoBoon]

Marco is a legend we are lucky to have him in UK, Godfather of all cooks on the planet!

[@SarumanDeWhite]

True success is self-discovery. Sweet.

[@TitanSound]

He has used Knorr cubes to season his steaks for a long time though. And I can see why, it really does make a well cooked steak a lot more tasty.

[@tzef73]

What an amazing person. I'm a cook also, and he is so right. The people that judge him are not as worthy, Marco your my idol.

[@thundercuck1779]

I'll like to add to his ending quote which is such a true statement, You can only find self discovery through knowing what you don't want through trial and error. Failures if used properly can be a catalyst for self reinvention. Finally, it truly is about the journey and not the destination of life.

[@TheCoolProfessor]

"True success is self-discovery" I'm going to use that in my classroom!

[@masterroshi5573]

yeah, im going to porn hub so i can get some self discovery done.

[@JamieR1988]

Master Roshi I tried that. I'm less of a person now.

[@urgisjot]

the last words he said - so inspiring

[@spleenter72]

Marco Pierre seems enlightened!

[@alphabravo431]

I can certainly relate to what he says about working hard for a long time to achieve something you never really wanted, and the way you change as a person when you realize this and change your path accordingly. Finding you true self is the key to inner peace and a fulfilling life.

[@devliegendehollandergvd5111]

Marco is the best chef. Keeping it simple because of simple beginnings. That makes the best dishes..

[@shanethomson2963]

Big supporter of wha you have said marco.Well done

[@boynamedlen]

What an admirable man.

[@RubbinRobbin]

That's a horrifying and very real Truth to acknowledge that one's success is born from their mothers Passing.

[@DannyMercer1993]

The reason I love MPW is that he gave up the thing he was genius in, because it was simply an avoidant outlet. A lot of what I've read from him in recent months has actually sounded rather Zen, that last minute is a wonderful statement for us all to reflect on: “Winning three stars in Michelin, what it taught me, is that for 22 years of my life I worked very hard for something I didn’t want. What I realise today, is that true success is self-discovery. The day you start to discover yourself, you can accept yourself, then you have the opportunity to fall in love for the right reason, to do things for the right reason, to realise your true potential as a human being. Discovering yourself is the thing that is important, not Michelin stars”

[@asjabluedog]

I thought it would have to be that =) although I still can't imagine it at Harvey's !! such an amazingly talented chef and person.

[@thewelshguy]

Unbelievable. What a story!

[@sweetrandall8883]

Nobody knows how he ever got on television.. He is so boring

[@Wilson19604]

worst interviewer ever?

[@athingbaijam2609]

Yeah

[@mooseandspade6251]

absolutely not. This is utterly unjustified. He listens to what Marco had to say and responded based on that.

Fascinating man. I would like to hear more from him with a different interviewer.

Ughhh Brendan O'Connor is an awful interviewer, just watched an interview he did with Marco two years after this and he opened with the exact same question and asked the exact same question about his mother.

[@cherishfinden5936]

Amazing

[@fulangator]

I really hope that he can be happy enought, people some times think that being succsesful is about gratification from another people, that is a huge mistake.

[@no2religions]

I'm a fellow cook and Marco fan. Do you watch his knorr videos? Sure they are adds, but his advice is outstanding and he's always used stock cubes so it's no biggie! lol

[@sallybug2325]

Chef GIGI MON AMI worked with that original bad boy- AND Gordon Ramsay at Harveys- wrote about about it in MOON ON A PLATTER!

[@elliotterodriguez]

I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW

[@liamneville6487]

"..only four in Britain" *holds up two fingers* Even though it's a mistake it's nice to have such a detail in the video alluding to the (highly probable) fact that Marco Pierre White isn't so vain that he "rehearses" his interview responses, in particular his hand gestures like some other celebrities.

[@erickbirkin3622]

Every Word is a story of mr. Pierre. That's how you consolid your life. With life experience.

[@kenobi99]

How this guy got his own talk show is still a mystery to me.

[@asjabluedog]

every fine dining restaurant kitchen I have worked in or ran has always made EVERYTHING from scratch, that's why you start at 8am and finish at about 1am six days a week =)

[@googo151]

I love MPW! Basically told this guy to shut the fuck up. Got to love him for his candor and is no non-sense approach.

[@asjabluedog]

he may do ads for Knorr, and he may use stock cubes at home and possibly in some of his pub menus, but he hasn't "always" used stock cubes. I assure you that back in his fine dining days when he spent HOURS making sauces, the base wasn't from a stock cube! and he couldn't sell a starter, in the 1980's for $100 a serve if he was taking shortcuts using stock cubes. Stock cubes for home use or simple seasoning are fine but only lazy/unskilled chefs use cubes to make stocks in the restaurant =)

[@Peppermint1]

to get from social recognition to human achievement is impressive. and he had a woman to help him do so.

yes! BBC One and BBC Two are readily available via the 2 main cable providers as a basic package that comes with the tv licence. It was part of the Good Friday Agreement that Northern Ireland would receive the Irish channels RTÉ One and Network Two and the Republic would get UTV, ITV , Channel 4 and BBC One and Two. Prior to that those channels had been readily available to southern viewers anyway. Other BBC channels are also available on more expensive UPC and Sky packages.
