To think Marcus Wareing really needs to get his priorities right

[Janeatthebarre]

He was on Masterchef last night saying that he has sacrificed family and friends for cooking; if he had to take off his chef's coat right now he would be absolutely nothing; cooking is his life etc etc etc.

AIBU to think he just prepares fancy food, he is not saving lives or undertaking ground breaking research or writing great literary novels... he is just preparing fancy food?

no, i am just able to use google

I think top level cooking is a terrible profession in many ways.

I think at that level of cooking Monica has every right to be as many different sorts of cow as she needs to be! And she'll do if Michel is too busy [lascivious drool here]

I like Michel, I suppose you have to be very strict with your staff if your reputation is at stake.

Who is the other presenter from normal Masterchef?

Greg Wallace. IMHO he "brings nothing to this dish"

I agree afterEight. What I really hate, though, is when some chefs put it on a level with being a heart surgeon, or discovering a cure for cancer or somesuch. And as for the ones throwing temperamental shouty strops as if they're Picasso ..... It's only food.

Its food that people travel a long way and pay a shitload of money for though.

Like I said, just because its not your priority op, doesn't make it wrong.

I wondered if it was staff and the place was shut.

A Michelin Starred restaurant has to be ready at all times for a Michelin judge to just show up. And no one knows who they are. They aren't going to risk a star for a TV show, even if they are paid gobs of money.

I feel quite ashamed to admit I ever-so-slightly fancy Marcus Wareing. But in my defence I'm at a certain stage in my monthly cycle (tmi) and can't be held responsible for my hormones. I like intense men but do think Michel has lovely soulful eyes.

I could tell they weren't the right sort... Didn't you see how that woman was holding her fork? Shock.

As far as I can tell Greg's contribution amounts to:

1. "i want more sauce"
2. "that's larvvvely"

Michel overuses the phrase "bang on" (he's still larvvely though....)

He's a Ramsay protegee. It is part of that culture.

Unfortunately, DH looks more like Greg Wallace (with a little hair) than Michel Roux jnr, sigh.

Greg has the dream job. He isn't required to contribute anything technical or taxing - he just gets to fill his face with yummy food, lucky bastard!

I think I have the same look in my eyes as his when I see anything in the form of pudding approaching me.

I did notice that Frontpaw! I was

And some of the diners were... From the colonies!!!!!!!

Anyone been to Greg's restaurant?

Peggotty noooooooooooooo!
He was a humourless, charmless t**t!

(can you call famous people t**ts on the web and not be sued?)

Gregg's restaurant has been reviewed as Not Good...

As long as you say 'I think that...' Or 'in my opinion...' Or 'allegedly'.

This is the review of Greg's not so larvvvely restaurant that rather put me off booking a table.

Thanks Frontpaw...I never know nowadays.

Oh Lord - bad review!

I was in it once. It was nothing special.

It sounds horrible and expensive.
