What I admire about Marco is that he reached the mountaintop. He got three stars. An Englishman who’d never been to France cooking French food. And he didn’t want it anymore. He gave his stars back and said, “I’ve done my thing. I want to spend my days cashing checks and walking around in that English countryside shooting animals.

The world was a better place with Bourdain in it.
The guy is a pig. Haven't you seen him dip his fingers into a soup and taste it three times……Disgusting…..
He refused to let people who know less about food than he does, judge his food and he’s absolutely correct
Well, he couldn't resist the power of Knorr stock pot
Ah but not just those pastimes dear Anthony; we mustn't neglect mention of his building of the world's only castle made entirely of Knorr stockpot
He has my deepest respect
Honestly way more sane perspective then the current crop of boomers jealously holding on to their fragile positions of power attempting to pretend to be useful and important way past their sell by date.
Peak life tbh 😅
It is your choice to admire him.
Your silly French tyre stars mean nothing to me XD
I'm a Marco Pierre White supremacist
Anthony Bourdain was the antithesis of Marco Pierre White. The guy was a rich kid going to the best schools and he just wanted to slum it with the poors while in his head he knew he thought he was better than them
So he retired lol
This is a left-handed compliment from Bourdain, and a not very subtle one.
People tend to sleep on Marco Pierre White when they talk about the greatest chefs of all time.
It’s because he realized he couldn’t get actual five stars
Marco is a shining example of how the media puts the worst people in the world on pedestals. We must stop doing this as a society. This man belongs in a mental hospital or prison.
He abandoned his work because he wanted to raise his children. He said so himself. He normally would have to leave home when they were still sleeping in the morning and come back when they were already sleeping at night and he couldn't stand that. Also he had achieved at a very young age all that could be achieved in his field. So why bother?
I don't know. Retirement sounds boring.
had me in the first 99%
Know when to stop.
He trained under Albert and Michel Roux, Pierre Koffman and Raymond Blanc for 6 years – who needs to go to France, when the French were here in London?!
MPW than decided he’d sell his soul for stock cubes 😂😂😂
Marco became the mountain,
The contempt Bourdain felt for animals in general is baffling. Kinda makes him hard to be missed.
Oh yeah shooting animals what a hero
He was mature enough to not let his success slave him the rest of his life, he wanted to do others things too
He got 3 stars and 3 Knorr stock pots
"Why would I let some stranger who knows less than me decide if I deserve a star or not?"
