Classic video of a 23-year old Gordon Ramsay apprenticing under Marco Pierre White. Humble. No cursing or yelling. Just paying his dues on the pasta machine. They had a volatile relationship but Ramsay credits White. “I stood alongside Marco for two years,” Ramsay said on the High Performance Podcast in 2023. “[I was] side-by-side for 16 hours a day. It was relentless. I was in that pursuit of perfection and this guy put food on a plate like Picasso. I wanted to get that level of discipline. He wanted you to be pushed to the extreme. He drummed it into you.” White is only 5 years older than Ramsay but a culinary OG. He is considered the “first celebrity chef” and would be the first UK chef to get 3 Michelin Stars. The clip below is from 1989 and this exchange gets me every time: White asking Ramsay if the pasta had gone through the machine twice. At (0:03), Ramsay gives the quietest “yes” of his life and then learns how to make a glorious lobster ravioli (“no air pockets!”).
