[…] In the 1990’s every chef in England wanted to be Marco Pierre White . He had brought what he had started in the late eighties to the fore with the exceptional three michelin starred The Restaurant Marco Pierre White at the Hyde Park Hotel in London. His food, style and personality struck a chord with chefs and his influence would spread across the world. […]

Dear Rod,

Lakeland Plastics make their own range of pans, reasonably priced and dishwasher friendly. I always carry one with me to deter any unwanted attention, so doubly useful!

Rod,
I’ve seen his range-looks alright but expensive. I was suprised to see him doing this sort of thing to be honest. Many credit him with the idea of using a blow torch for caramelising brulee’s etc but the truth is that when he opened his first restaurant he couldn’t afford a grill so picked up a blow torch instead!

Hi Derfel,
I think he lost a bit of credibility in the chef world when he began launching cheaper, family friendly restaurants. Nothing wrong with that but I think people associate Marco with haute cuisine rather than burgers and pasta. I would like to see him leave the sniping at Ramsay alone, he doesn’t need to do it.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated

Miles,
Do you not think there is a real danger his kudos could be damaged?

He’s avoided the celebrity chef route up until now so I wonder why bother at this point !
