What a star studded cast! Historically significant! The Chefs that guided Marco! Raymond Blanc, Albert Roux, Pierre Koffman. Such amazing comments by all, my thumb cant hit the "like button enough! It's good to know there is such brilliance out there!👍

[@spionsilver9626]

i could watch these chefs for hours .. imagine how rough the top kitchen world was back then , and these chefs conquered it with their talent and passion for cooking !!!

This takes me back, wish we could find the original one's with Richard Shepherd and the incredible John Huber in, can't find them anywhere.

it is so amazing and so inspirational that 2 of the greatest chefs have become who they are with no issues to say that they were not prepared to become great chefs, while nowaday everuone seemes to be a chef ready out of the tin.

Not quite true am afraid. His number 2 held him up against a wall for over coloring something. Not burnt just too much colour. I do like Raymond though. That chef though is so so talented he has excelled in two further places and had his own place last time I saw him.

[@coyhutt8022]

@@nancyjackson3909 I understand what you're saying, but when you work in such places at that level, you put up with a lot of 'abuses', simply because you want it on your CV. Or it used to be that way- top-end kitchens now seem devoid of atmosphere, characters and emotion.

Raymond Blanc shown here smoking a cigarette while speaking to the invisible interviewer. How did that affect his palate, I wonder. Marco Pierre White once said he had never known anyone with a great palate like Raymond Blanc. Thank you for this classic of all classics video.

[@panathasg13]

For reference and anybody who is interested in watching that MPW interview, MPW said that Raymond has the greatest palate on his interview at Oxford Union: title: Marco Pierre White | Full Address and Q&A | Oxford Union

His unfazed demeanor and presences on the line, As he diligently works he's station during service while chef is sweating bullets on the pass, says a lot.

[@gold6813]

Marco rated Raymond as a Great Cook and not a great chef. Read or listen to 'Devil in the Kitchen' by MPW. Highly recomended

[@mikey380sx]

As much as I love Marco Pierre White. I really admire how Raymond interacts with the interviewer in a friendly calm manner. Something Marco could definately not do haha

[@user-cc4kq6hl4c]

1985

Marco's still the GOAT.

[@anthonybouzeydane1085]

[@clevernotwise9142]

The asparagus mouse is Marcos recipe, he decided it needed something extra so added chicken, when Raymond tasted it he ran into the kitchen asking who made it and how, so the story goes. He (MPW) also served this film crew lasagna, but under cloches to give the impression they would receive something extraordinary, just to wind up Raymond.

That first chef could've at least changed the utensils when he was serving the ladies for the taste test. When he said to his Boss ,he would not change the dish. I found that rude from him to be defiant on camera like that. I would've checked him. He was flexing a a bit. The moderator clapped back and told him . The peaches looked like it came out of a Tin. I saw his face. That was funny. Pompous arrogant jerk. Really? Culinary experience should be logical and taste well. Raymond Blanc seems to care. I lie Marco Pierre White. He's the most practical.
