The Michelin stars are the highest award a chef could possibly win. Receiving 3 is something the vast majority of chefs will never achieve, so what would make a chef want to give them up? Well, let's dive into the character that is Marco Pierre White, and what exactly drove him to give up his 3 Michelin stars at the height of his career.

Marco earned my complete respect by two simple acts. First, as a guest judge at amateur cooking competitions he was firm and strict but incredibly kind. He wanted people to love cooking and develop their passion, he fully understood these are mums and dads and teenagers who are there simply to be better at doing something they love and he didn't want to damage that in any way. The second was when he did a series of quick recipes using stock cubes. Basically they were extended adverts for Knorr and he was roundly ridiculed and derided by the industry. His response - "You cannot criticise a man for going to work. You simply can not do that." And he was absolutely right - a real man will do whatever it takes to provide a roof and food on the table for his family. You cannot belittle him for that.

It wasnt the restaurant it was his omakase and passion for his craft that elevated the experience.

Marco reminds me of a small restaurant owner I met in a rural part of Kyushu, Japan who had a little shack in a somewhat visited tourist spot. Whenever people would enter his store he would tell them that the only way they could eat at his restaurant is if they ordered drinks and after you’d drink it down he’d then say “now let’s get you some water to wash it down with”. When we asked him about his background he said he that ran some of the top restaurants in Kyushu. However, it wasn’t fulfilling to him so he left it behind and decided to cook in his little shack in that little town. Probably some of the best food I’ve had if I may say.

He was so incredibly nice and sincere to everyone, gave his plate he cooked to a young kid to enjoy, completely different to how you would've imagined him to be. Clearly he chose right as he seems happy while still being passionate about food.

The reason that Michilin stara were created was to get people to drive long distances to drive sales that way their tires would wear out quicker. They would purposely give stars to restaurants far apart. After awhile it became a prestigious award. So now you have very talented chefs breaking their backs. Sleeping on their prep tables to present a dish to a tire company. The irony is so disheartening everything you've ever worked for. To be judged by a tire company that couldn't care less of thr nuances in flavors and pairings.

I mean I would also bet that nowadays the original conception of the Michelin star and it’s iteration as an award nowadays are very different. Considering the restaurants are very expensive the amount of people able to afford them are much smaller and therefore the profitability from the marketing tactic is much lower. I’d also venture to bet that nowadays the critics are legit and people who do know what they are talking about, if even in the past they weren’t.

Not "wear out quicker". It's just an excuse so people would use their car. Mind you this guide came at the time when cars were just introduced to the public, and people can go just about anywhere without the need of cars. Therefore michelin created an "activity" so people would use their cars. Also just because it's a tire company, doesn't mean it couldn't hire people who understand food. I mean do guinness understand about rope skipping or brick breaking? They're a beer company. Yet they're more famous for their world records. Sorry, I'm in support of marco as well. I just honestly think this is a weak argument.

That's nonsense. The guide was created because at the beginning of automobile cars were pretty slow so it was quite common for trips to last several days. So drivers would need to eat. Michelin just provided the guide as an extra service and as publicity. Also the guide has been separated from the tire manufacturer a long time ago. The star coding was simply: * worth a stop * * worth a detour * * * worth a special journey

Hi all, 45 Years ago my stepfather who owned 2 very very well running restaurant's got a visit from a Michelin guy and was offered a star. He respectfully rejected it. I was 15 years old at the time and didn't understand. On the way home that night he explained it to me. He said......you know, this is my place and I've worked and work dammed hard to keep my standards (16 hours a day!). And if I don't want to serve someone in my place, I want to kick him/her out. It is my place. Once I have a star, I won't be able to do so anymore. Then he said that everyone is misconcepting those stars. Yes, once getting a or more star's, you can raise your prices, and will get booked out.......but if you then lose them, cause of somebody else's standards, you are pretty much done and lose it all. .................By the way, he was booked out for decades. If you are good, you don't need no Michelin to say you are. On the contrary, once bowing to them, they become a permanent threat.

I can't imagine he would lose all 3 Stars so easily. But it also doens't really make sense to me as to why you would give them back to have creative freedom and such, since he could just do what he wants, then he will either retain or lose stars, not so much different from his status then. Since he gave them back, he apparently didn't care about them anymore / had prioritized something else over it, so losing them would be no different. Only logical reasons I can see are: creating precedent and PR

But when you acquire the stars, everything changes, because you are now playing a defensive game to keep them, and the defensive game is what sucks because it forced him to stale.

MPW earned the highest possible rating in the Michelin guide with 3 stars and 5 red forks and spoons when he ran his restaurant The Oak Room. No other English chef has ever accomplished this to my knowledge.

It is a mix emotion of happy and sad for Chef Marco, but it is understandable that he needs to spend time with his family. He is extremely talented and inspirational. It is sad that he left the "Michelin Stars Competetion" so early ! Thanks Chef Marco !🙌 Thanks for the video Renzy ! 🙌

There is a story of a chef who highlights the pressure of maintaining michellene stars perfectly. Bernard Loiseau was a french chef who had 3 michellene stars, and as he began to receive critismsm, rumors of him losing one of his stars. This, combined his depression, resulted in him ending his own life after a lunch service. It's generally agreed that the reason for him ending his own life was depression, a declining business, and the fear of losing a michellene star.

The irony is that the entire michelin guide star rating is based on promoting car tires. I've been to a few of those restaurants and honestly: While the food, service etc. is excellent, so is the price and I much rather would eat in a unnamed trattoria somewhere in a dark sideroad in Tuscany where Mamma is in charge of the kitchen and she pours her passion into the food. THAT is food worth experiencing because no Michelin star chef will ever create the living room ambience combined with the delicacy of simple ingredients glued together by Mamma.

Amazing story! Talk about the ultimate punch in the face for critics. To lay bare the true value of something to the world is something only someone at the top of their art can do. It doesn't matter that he gave up his stars because the world (and more importantly, Marco) already knew how incredible his skill was. Being judged by less knowledgeable people sitting on a false throne must be an agonizing feeling.

I've watched the Harvey's Marco doc a few times & it was really insightful & interesting. My take was he had a tremendous passion for cooking & serving genuine patrons. I don't think he anticipated the BS aspect. Increased media interest, food critics & burned out. He opted for 11 Marco London restaurants in 2K. Gordon & Jamie would follow the path.

One of the big issues when it comes to Michelin Star rated restaurants is the fact that non-France style cuisine gets rates noticeably lower than every other. You can have an absolutely amazing menu and dishes with the best chefs, but because you didn't serve France style food, you don't earn a star.

When I watched the movie (The Menu) with Ralph Fiennes, I remember it reminded me a lot about how Marco Pierr White has changed during his career, he went from a passionate young chef following his father and grandfathers footsteps to chasing titles and awards due to a fear of failure. Marco did what he viewed other people believed to be the ultimate understanding of cookery and he wasn't able to give himself the freedom of taking risks with his own take on food. Giving up the Michelin stars was Marco finally freeing himself; allowing Marco to pursue cookery in the way he wanted; simple, a few ingrediants and of course delicious.

No way. Nick Diaz would mop the floor with him. Diaz is a straight forward and chilled dude and a fair, polite guy when you dont bother him. MPW on the other hand is a brilliant chef but a horrible person. He is arrogant, disrespectful to others. Just a social brick. I dont get it why we accept this social behaviour from people just because there are extraordinary in that what their are doing. He is not above others just because of his cooking. But we give him the permission to be a asshole because we celebrate this kind of behaviour as brilliant and genious. He is a lunatic, a narzist and def one of the typ of guys who are the reasons why so many people dont wanna work in hospitality anymore. As a "normal" person he would get punched in the face every day!
