Great chef obviously, and you have to show an extraordinary amount of single-mindedness to get where he is, but ultimately he cooks dinners for rich people, it's not life and death.
He was judging this year I think. Gave such nice scores. He's probably too nice for that. You need a 'fear of god' type like Waring.
I can't stand that bloke from Wednesday, Clifford, he just comes across in a way you can't like at all. Waring at least seems harsh but fair, but Clifford has a sense of just being completely humourless somehow.
is that they get sent to these top restaurants and praised for cutting it for one night. But these restaurants are full of young chefs who do that EVERY night. Surely they are by default better chefs than all the actual contestants.
So it should be Professional Shit-but-has-improved-a-lot Chef.
I think it's unlikely that any of these dishes are done by one chef normally so it's a definite test that a single chef probably doesn't have to do in the heat of the kitchen.
However, I guess there's possibly a touch of being good at everything being tested here: those young chefs might be amazing at putting that dish on the plate but they've had practice and they might completely collapse if you asked them to make their own dishes up.
why would you go on Masterchef? It's always been about people who are pretty good but want a kick up to the big time (at least since the relaunch, fuck knows what it was about when Loyd Grossman was doing it). Like these people this series, they say they're already a "head chef", but we all know it means they run the kitchen at a cafe or some bogus gastropub.
When will the guy who did that learn to close his mouth?
He looks so gormless.
oui chef
oui
And that is his forty
Er, forté perhaps?
THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP DOING IT UNTIL THE WORLD SITS UP AND TAKES NOTICE
It was quite funny when Michel Roux started laughing.
Marcus Wareing seemed like such a bellend.
Great chef obviously, and you have to show an extraordinary amount of single-mindedness to get where he is, but ultimately he cooks dinners for rich people, it's not life and death.
Was thinking this.
I've no idea how people take that sort of shit.
I'd smash that pan round his fucking head.
Wasn't he the guy who reduced Johnny Mountain to a quivering mess in Great British Menu?
:D
Oh yeah, it was

I think this about ALL celeb chefs
How is it in this day and age, the biggest media darlings are a bunch of cooks?
A generation or so ago you'd have been a servant. So bake me a fucking meringue, you coriander cunt
the french ones are usually okay
like when they wheel michel roux snr (?) out and he is all complimentary.
it was when that guy was going on about how being a top chef had cost him his family. ffs man, priorities.
Is this the new black pudding and scallops?
"Ooooooooh, he's brave doin' a souffle".
+ pea puree
I read this as Mastermind cause my brain's all fuzzy and delirious
Me too.
And I don't even have a fever to blame for it
I watched it yesterday for the first time
The two looked so gormless and goofy looking. Compare them to the magnificently polished Marcus Wareing, they are not a patch on him.
The guy who won
Why did nobody tell him about that raging whitehead on his nose? POP IT
^^^^ Reality TV in HD is never pretty.
that chef was nice
Why can't they all be like that instead of such horrible fucking wankers?
Inspired by Masterchef I'm now cooking all my dinners in a plastic bag.
that was probably the best episode of Masterchef i've seen.
I bloody love Tom Kerridge
Such a nice man mountain.
Love how he keeps a little spoon tucked in his apron.
It's possible to have 2* in the Michelin guide and not be an absolute bell end, wut?
Liked the verdict tonight, high standard all round (Duck wellington...<3) . Still hoping Girl-power Kerry (Chef Spice?) bottles it soon though.
Keri (I think it is)
Also, are you saying Tom Kerridge is a bell end? GET A GRIP! The dude's a gent.
What I *did* like was seeing his Great British Menu entry styles showing through in his general dishes in his restaurant.
It's £25 for a main at his place.
And only £30 for a three course set menu. Definitely going to try and go next year.
He's a beast on Great British Menu, absolutely untouchable. Glad he seems like a nice guy too.
A BEAST! :D
He was judging this year I think. Gave such nice scores. He's probably too nice for that. You need a 'fear of god' type like Waring.
I can't stand that bloke from Wednesday, Clifford, he just comes across in a way you can't like at all. Waring at least seems harsh but fair, but Clifford has a sense of just being completely humourless somehow.
I'm saying the opposite.
He was lovely.
I thought that guy in Cambridge the other night was a good guy as well.
A bit precious, but generally pretty encouraging.
Nah, complete disagreement here.
I didn't like him on Great British Menu either, to be fair. Like I say, there's just something 'flat' about him.
agreed
seems a decent enough fella.
One thing that annoys me about Pro Masterchef
is that they get sent to these top restaurants and praised for cutting it for one night. But these restaurants are full of young chefs who do that EVERY night. Surely they are by default better chefs than all the actual contestants.
So it should be Professional Shit-but-has-improved-a-lot Chef.
Well Kerridge pointed out that Keri's plate is normally put together by three people.
I think it's unlikely that any of these dishes are done by one chef normally so it's a definite test that a single chef probably doesn't have to do in the heat of the kitchen.
However, I guess there's possibly a touch of being good at everything being tested here: those young chefs might be amazing at putting that dish on the plate but they've had practice and they might completely collapse if you asked them to make their own dishes up.
I reckon I could have a stab at putting that scallops dish together
hardly any cooking involved at all.
Yeah that one looked a bit piss-easy.
He got to walk it. I reckon the other four chefs watched that episode and were like, "Oh, WHAT? GET OUT!"
But if you already work in a top restaurant
why would you go on Masterchef? It's always been about people who are pretty good but want a kick up to the big time (at least since the relaunch, fuck knows what it was about when Loyd Grossman was doing it). Like these people this series, they say they're already a "head chef", but we all know it means they run the kitchen at a cafe or some bogus gastropub.
Gastropub
It's not a nice word, is it?
Finals!
that bloke really messed up with that curry abomination
also chillies
Glad he's gone though
Foragers can bore the fuck off
seemed a nice enough guy but had delusions of quirkyness
Chef Spice to go next please.
I'd be chuffed for Oli or Anton to win tbh.
Anton <3
I think I fancy Alexis Gauthier
This is absolute bollocks.
Not sure there's any helping you if you couldn't raise a smile at that...
I think Master Chef has crashed The Fat Duck's site.
