Marco was hot, and sexy, he looked like a rockstar or poet as a young man

700x394


And - I still find him sexy, it is the voice and the eyes.

But, I would find it hard not to laugh at chef talk, all that intense serious crap - but it is still just food.

...I was trying to find a video of when he made Gordon Ramsey cry but I couldn't find it... I saw him in some videos when he was so much younger and so much thinner lol!... the way that he sauntered around he was like a rock star type of person wasn't he?...so I see your point kxk... cheers.
 
Shannon Bennett is such a nice guy. Chefs don't need to yell and be pricks. Worked a fair bit in the restaurant industry. The best chefs encouraged rather than yelled. Best food came out of the kitchens of the migrant women. The Greeks and Italians. They loved me and I loved them. I still cook with many of the recipes.

Yes, my thoughts too, but I suppose he will say it to all of them in one way or another, and we will see those who get the edit spotlights.

It was like him telling Celia her (daughter's) dessert was "genius" iirc. From what I saw, it wasn't a masterstroke from conception, more like 'I'll make lemon curd. um. um. Now I'll make a few other sweet things I know I can make well'. Lol

Then when presented to Marco et al, they label it a deconstructed lemon meringue pie and master stroke of genius!...or something like that.

Anyway, I think Marco sells the contestants own food back to them, and the audience, very well :)

Ha ha. I don't think the Queen finds him or his mini, tiara/crown cupcakes sexy. The look on her face is like "Oh, good lord. Michelin Stars have become so common."

I agree with that, except, chef's seem to get frustrated easily. I've worked with some outside of kitchens and they are the loveliest people, but people who work with them call them tyrants. LOL

I would add no sweat dripping into the mixing bowl or taste testing with fingers in their mouths to the OHS list. The camera will often capture the bead of sweat shaking on the chin ready to jump and you just know where it's headed.

...whenever you see Asian chefs cooking whether in a kitchen or just a food takeaway they nearly always use a hat or a net on their heads... I give them kudos for that... it should be compulsory for anyone that deals with food at all to have to tie the hair back and wear a hairnet or whatever... if I found a hair in my food I would return it and demand another different meal altogether to ensure that they didn't just rehash the same meal... I'm very fussy like that...

...amen to that Witty... both of those are pet hates of mine... I've seen cooks tasting a sauce with a ladle or whatever on TV and then returning it to the pot... URGH!... Ian Hewitson used to do it all the time on his show... whenever he did my stomach turned... that's just pure grubbiness and lack of hygiene as far as I'm concerned... double URGH!... cheers.
 
The sweat adds a little saltiness? lol - you know what they say about seasoning a dish haha 😳

I think they do some very good acting sometimes pretending the food is delicious when in reality they're all cold and congealed from sitting there for so long waiting to be judged :p
