[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Dude he has been arrogant too in his time, and worse - but he is also a serious man with many other redeeming qualities and certainly a lot of apparent arrogance is just being uncompromising, driven and discerning. Pride as a quality in a person is not a positive in and of itself to me - taking pride in doing something right is. With artists all these things are very often strangely intervowen. But lets not completely kid ourselves just because someone or something is highly admirable.

As a waiter, all he says it what I had to learn by myself because my boss always wanted us to be right at the table when therr were high prestige guests. By time I realised that leaving them alone with the food and the wine is what really makes them feel comfortable. To let them know "somebody's there if I need him, but most of the time we are alone" is the sign of a good waiter

[@Elgar337]

My dad told me once about a hotel restaurant he went to when he was in Scottland and how it was the best service he'd ever received. He said that the staff were always there when you needed them, often in correct anticipation, but that other than that they were invisible. I was little at the time and it made a great impression on me.

[@TheMontyfire]

I completely agree ,I have no waiting experience but have eaten at many fine restaurants and agree that waiting is an art and the perfect waiter is the one that doesn’t hover over you or stare across a room and doesn’t seem to be present but anticipates your needs and turns up just as you think you may need a top up of wine etc

[@verigone2677]

Long ago, in Restaurants both crap and Moderately nice, I realized early on the best way to make easy tips is to only bee seen standing still while scanning the floor for someone to help. Notice I said someone to help, not something to do. If you are looking for something to do, you are focusing on the things and not the people. In a properly staffed Restaurant you won't stand still except on your break (if you get one), because one you pay attention to people first you see when any other customer you are passing seems impatient or distressed, and the rule is if you aren't holding food or dirty plates you should engage and inquire. If you have a moment take care of the issue yourself, if you are busy pass it on to the floor manager/Maitre di/Lead immediately; if your hands are full signal the floor manager or if your expediter is really good they relay to the floor manager through the runner constantly. If you are not properly staffed, or working at a $20/plate Microwave and Fryer joint, just hold on to your ass and do your best...good thing is the clientel isn't asking for much unless they are a Karen.

I believe he made the choice to be a spokesperson for Knorr because it gave him an opportunity to reach out to everyday people and not just the Michelin restaurant/fine-dining crowd. The parent looking to make that special dish for their family. The partner who wants to wow their significant other's bellies before proposing to them, the mom-and-pop eatery manager looking for new ideas for their menu. It's those tidbits of food wisdom he gives during those 3-4 minute videos that can really resonate with someone long-term. Question: How many of us discovered MPW through his Knorr videos before finding out he was mentor and teacher to Gordon Ramsey?

Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Isaiah 45:22-23 KJV Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. [23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. John 1:1-3,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, Isaiah 44:6 KJV Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Revelation 1:17-18 KJV And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. John 20:27-29 KJV Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Maybe it can be a good thing that when there aren't external drivers, like the fear of getting sacked, that he mentioned, to push you to strive to be at your best at all times, you can fire yourself up to be at your best all the time without it becoming a traumatic stint in your life. Ultimately, if you're in the right frame of mind when your mentor is giving you a hard time, that stint can turn your life around.

[@papamilhas69]

Great interview and interviewer, Chef Pierre is awsome. Old School

[@rjhong93]

Simply amazing to hear from the top of the culinary world....Perception and romance are everything

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

nowadays, if you want the best tastiest food there is the rule is no longer "follow the stars", its "follow the locals" the locals always know where the best food is

[@BanditLeader]

No it's still stars. But it's not Michelin stars, its review stars. Locals may think the food is good, but you might not because your palette is different from theirs; or they think it's bad but you think it's good. With review stars, you know if its good or bad because people from all over the world with different palettes have reviewed it

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

@@BanditLeader your argument is completely irrelevant, places get both local and worldwide reviews the difference is locals knows where those good spots are which is exactly my point

[@BanditLeader]

@@xGoodOldSmurfehx congratulations you have the reading comprehension of a child. Did you not read that I said the locals palette is different from yours? The locals are used to the food, so obviously they are gonna say it's good. Just because the locals think it's good, doesnt mean the average person will. That's why you look at the reviews, because it will tell you what the average person thinks.

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

@@BanditLeader if i have the reading comprehension of a child you have the brain processing of a baby its irrelevant if locals have a different palette, they know where these high rating places are and they also know where their favorite places are you try the high rating, if you dont like it you try the locals favorite thats how touring for food works junior either way one way or another, locals usually end up at the higher rating places so be my guest, you clearly know nothing of food traveling so stop making yourself look like a cretin already

Great interview. Thanks for that. The interviewer was very good. He let him speak and did not interrupt him. I also agree with everything mister White said.

[@gravitymusic]

What an amazing interview!🔥

[@EVP5309]

One thing I’ve learned about interviewing and taking to people, when they’re telling their stories, don’t attempt to finish the story for them. It’s their story; let them tell it. Please take this into mind going forward. Outside of that, thanks for the interview and the trip inside Marco Pierre’s head.

[@mikuspalmis]

Excellent comment.

[@ionkalkani1206]

I, too, wanted to hear more of what he had to say about his story. Being interrupted when you are telling your story is probably worse than being flipped the finger.

[@AndrewDaniele87]

I agree! There were a few times where I was disappointed to hear the interviewer cut off Marco as he's explaining something or telling a story, but still better than a lot of other interviewers out there I suppose

[@climax4421]

This interviewer did a great job opening him up.

[@DuzBee]

What a wonderful and respectful interview, he is truely and insight, what a wonderful man.

[@steveaustin286]

I loved this soooo much, thank you

[@ComedieZ]

The interviewer is really good and respectful. Giving interesting and insightful opened ended questions and letting Marco speak. Fantastic interview 👌

[@adriangutierrez4931]

Way I live by..... beautiful when you here it from a master

[@vinodvagadurgi414]

Marco Pierre is gem of a personality This interview is legit I felt it to my heart and goosebumps When he simply put his perspective out there

[@poulamimukherjee4787]

When Marco talks ..you listen. He prepping you not just for the kitchen but for life.

[@Archivun]

I could listen to Marco Pierre telling his stories all day long, so interesting and calming

[@sandipanroy3106]

Really great interview.

[@larsalexanderson]

So much knowledge from him..what a legend 👏🏻🙏

[@Siritos]

Fantastic interview, thank you.

[@SIickTurtIe]

I visualize all these great artists spending decades of their lives perfecting their craft in search for that ever coveted Michelin Star...then I can’t help but see the Michelin marshmallow tire guy just waltz into their restaurant one day with a big ⭐️ trophy and music playing in the background 😂😂
