I think MPW has lost the plot slightly. In his day the man was a genius, but I think you have to be slighlty unhingd to gain 3 Michelin stars at such a young bloody age and put in the sheer hard graft that that kind of sucess requires. The long days, the long hours, the 7 day weeks, sleeping on the floor in his kitchen, FFS he gave himself a heart attack at a very young age and has 3 failed marriages behind him.
He detested 'celeberity' chefs and openly criticised them for it and now has become just that. I think the food he is serving is not MPW standard, but he is more concerned with the actual show IYKWIM.
