Who cares
Having been a chef all over the world for 30 years….customers are what you want, not stars. Stars don't pay the bills.
Their logical foo
Says the man who restaurants are franchised
One of the best hours you will ever spend is listening to his address to the Oxford Union. The humility of this man is staggering
I think he has autism
People getting upset over a tyre companys food review FFS.. get a grip
This guy is a genius but he is slightly mental too I recon!!! 🤯
A man that cooks pasta carbonara with peas and oil in the water does not deserv any star what so ever!
If Michelin stars were only about the food, then Ramsey wouldn't have any stars at all.
Harry potters let himself go
Celebrity chefs are the most useless waste of space they cook food and charge idiots a fortune for it
It's a marketing/political racket. Ive ate a few michelin restaurants and I've ate at a lot more than were just as good/even better, that had no star. Mpw will always be one of the best, regardless of what a tire manufacturer thinks.
If you think about it, it’s a bit crazy that chefs beat themselves up over gaining an accolade…from a tyre company. (And yes, I do know the history. But still.)

Ive had meals at too many mediocre Michelin starred restaurants including * for this to hold any significance.
He once said. Why care about "their opinions" when they don't even know how to cook. Care about what the people you are cooking think! Self explanatory…🤔
Illogical… one star ? Gordon deserves far worse, Marco much better.
His looking like Wallace
Man, no wonder he returned his Michelin stars.
Marco 🔥🔥
They didn’t take a star from Gordon, he chose to lose it
Don’t get that logic Marco they downgraded it by one star .. its their prerogative and they are the leading critics on the matter … i think you have to trust the judgment you hold as your measure … and just change your ways and improve … they had their reasons
Their ego is hurt.. but keep working and eventually you’ll get your start back 🙌
That's why Marco gave his stars back, the hypocrisy is insane, dealing with those people nowadays is completely based on how they see the head chef as a person and nothing else. It has literally become like Hollywood
Holyyyy jeez! I absolutely love this and it needs to be everywhere. I just imagine like an epic battle scene and Gordon is on one knee ready to accept his fate and here comes Marco out of nowhere to defend his apprentice 🔥😅 But seriously what a guy for doing that. Tbh it really doesn't make much sense to me either. I will say some of the content Gordon puts out is a little iffy at times, but if I were to go up against him with each of our specialties, he'd whoop my ass big time 😂 Love the both of you and thank you for so much knowledge and guidance ❤
Can’t believe the costume creator from the incredibles has facial hair.
Is this guy for real? Like his opinion is the only one that counts. So full of himself
Dam chef marco lookin rough
This Indian man tries very hard to suck up 😂 typical Indian

What a God!
Pompous prat. Cant make scrambled eggs with any less than 5 ingredients.
Michelin stars are like graded trading cards. Sure most of them are fair but quite a bit is inflated price and ego.
And Michelin still didn't make Gordon cry.
the cheese Gromit! We’ve forgotten the Cheese!!
There are shitty taco trucks with one star lol
We got Marco on a podcast before gta 6 😢
If the chefs are not happy with the Michelin rating system, don't pay attention to the stars and refuse to engage to its stupid game. But no, they want the stars, then they can charge more for their dishes and be guaranteed an endless stream of customers dying to dine in their restaurants. The rating system is not exact science, right? Are all 1 star restaurants the same quality? Are their food quality, service, ambience, the sommelier, type of food served the same? Of course not. According to this guy–Marco Pierre White, if you're going to challenge the Michelin taking a star off a restaurant, and justified by comparing this restaurant to that restaurant. Moreover, I'm not a food critic, so I have no idea if the Michelin rating system is fair, however, judging a restaurant irequires objective evaluation, but subjectivity is an unavoidable element in it. Unless Mr. White could prove that there are discrepancies in the evaluations, one for awarding the star, and the taking away the star, all the arguments are just a bunch of hot air. My humble opinion
Although they had a very very nasty public falling out, Marco will always stand up for Chef Ramsay. And that's true respect.
But what about his choice to use ALL the mushrooms?!
I don't understand MPW's reasoning. First of all, Gordon Ramsay did NOT cook at Claridge's. Yes, he designed the menu and he's the director of the concept etc., but he didn't cook there. He was mostly at his own eponymous restaurant (which has three stars and such has been the case since it opened).
Mark Sargeant was the de facto head chef at Claridge's and he used to work with Ramsay a lot prior to this job. It is only in 2010 when Sargeant leaves that the restaurant loses its Michelin star, which isn't all too uncommon. Mark Sargeant is the link between the food and Gordon Ramsay. When he goes, so does that link.
Honestly, it wasn't all too uncommon to hear actual valid complaints about that restaurant towards the end. I'm not surprised at all that it lost a star. Had it happened to Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, then, I'd think that Marco would have a point.
