For the sake of the experience, I would visit a Michelin starred restaurant with the 10/12 course menu. For the sake of having a good meal and a hearty portion cooked for me, I’ll go anywhere else lol
We used to have our annual meeting at a gourmet restaurant, with a dinner afterward. I started only going for the meeting since I couldn't stomach the canapés they said was the food.
When i worked in Ardoe House Hotel 2012- 2015 we were working towards our third rosette, had a 5 course taster menu with quite elaborate presentation in our restaursnt. We got the third rosette for FISH AND CHIPS in the bar. When i got head hunted back in 2016 we were stir frys and asian cuisine. Dont chase those awards. Its a waste of fucking time.
Yes, and no. Historically rich peoples obsession with food being hot came after spices became available to the poor. Now with microwaves getting food hot is easy and can no longer be used by the rich to show off in front of the poor. And now they show off by making food a piece of visual art and pricing it accordingly.
I've always said that if they bring you the food and you have to ask "What am I eating here?", as in you need a card explaining the dish, it's not good food.
And that’s why I’ve only ever eaten one meat fondue.. Cooking your food one mouthful at a time… annoying… just give me a plate of food…Fine dining is the same.. a picture on a plate…😑
I never understood these modern gastronomy restaurants that serve you a single bite of freeze dried whatever and you’re supposed to be blown away and pay $100 per dish. Insane

Marco comes across quite salty. Food has moved on from his era, he had his time.

Give me fish and chips
Expensive for a salad bar 😅

Im always generous with a bit of olive oil. Why? Because its my choice
Big bowl of brilliant tasting “visual” slop beats bite sized pretentious mona Lisa’s 7 days a week👍

When they start to believe that presentation matters more than taste.
Tasting Menu? Nah mf bring me the eating menu
His meals aimt exactly cheap at his restaurants
High end restaurants heat the plates before serving such that even small portions stay hot
You shouldn't have to stop for pizza or tacos on the way home from a $500/person dinner.
And there you have it.
You can see his knowledge goes to Gordon on his obsession with the size of the plate and how thick he cuts the meats
I want nourishment, not punishment.
AMEN MARCO
I have so much time for marco Pierre white slandering modern fine dining 😂😂 I couldn’t agree more
This video is weird is like his lips are cutting off
well, it's what's popular these day…. so…. and why I always eat before going to a michelin star restaurant
I literally just want my food hot and to taste good. The rest is super extra
Absolute banger truth

Truth
Nearly every high level chefs are chain smokers any way. Wtf do they even know what anything tastes like anymore.

So true
Just give me a rare steak and a baked potato. High class cuisine is a waste of time and money.
“Fine dining” tasting menus are soon to be consigned to the history books. Just like its equally pretentious predecessor nouvelle cuisine.
Yes Marco get it said old Son
Yet to see a good dish he cooked. It’s 95% yap and 5% cooking in all of his videos
This editing turned a dining experience into fast food.
