Gordon's just mad they didn't their stars to him instead
Marco said it best about pursuing 3 stars. When you want to get three stars you are on the offense, trying to push and innovate your dishes to a level no other chef could match while providing a phenomenal restaurant atmosphere and experience. To retain the three stars you are on the defensive as you now have to produce dishes the people from Michelin like or cater to their tastes and it stops becoming about putting yourself on a dish.
For Marco it was always about the love of cooking and sharing meals with other people without having to conform to a standard of other people who in his mind have less knowledge of the culinary arts and haven't spent a 1/10th of the time in restraunt kitchens than he ever had. This is of course after he has had great financial success after his many years of cooking.
If alain s returned his stars in 2005 he couldn't have been the first, as you state marco did it in 1999……. am I missing something?
earning a Michelin star is good, and returning it is also good. One thing makes you more motivated to improve yourself, another thing makes you return to the inherent love of being a chef
I think Gorden Ramsey is bullshit.
Gordon Ramsay keeps his stars because that's just how he is. He needs something to remind himself of his success. Plus he loves competition so keeping his stars keeps him going.
Says the man who chose to cry
Gordon is the 69 of cooking
