Marco doesn't give a FUCK.

If I see Knorr® Chicken Stock Pot™, I know that the chef is in the kitchen. This has prevented me from having another experience with restaurant confetti.

Marco's a brilliant chef no doubt, but he's also a giant narcissist and possibly a psychopath. Not a surprise, really. Being a Michelin-starred chef attracts egotistical control freaks.

He's right though about stars being thrown around like confetti and Chef's needing to be behind the line. You shouldn't just be able to write a menu and call yourself a chef.

Marco turned his back on the industry, walked away and his stars dissolved. He made a pile of money, didn't give a shit about that, and went for a walk in the woods. The guy had legit passion for cooking.

>You shouldn't just be able to write a menu and call yourself a chef

you seem to not understand how the food industry works. Once a chef proves their technical abilities, there is nothing wrong with delegating cooking tasks to their sous chefs. This usually frees up the head chef so they can focus on creating novel dishes, which in turn can lead to awards, such as Michelin stars.

If a head chef writes a menu full of new dishes, and then tells their sous chef to cook them, those new dishes are still the ideas of the head chef. In fact, all a chef really needs to do is just create a new idea, delegate cooking & prep, and then inspect the final product before serving it.

What dumbasses like you seem to have a hard time with is that the value a head chef brings to a restaurant is their ability to create, delegate, and inspect. Any grease monkey can cook on the line, but it takes a visionary to oversee the operation and consistently turn out greatness on a plate.

I thought that head chefs typically work the pass, which is the most important position in the kitchen.

Yeah Marco like to cook, hence him cooking food. How many stars do you have again?
>>9269127
That's kinda accurate, but any chef should be capable of stepping in if need be.

>Fuck it, I'll cook it myself.
Is a common phrase to hear from a real head chef.

>>9269170
Don't all chefs start of as line cooks though? How tf would they not be able to cook?

>>9269097
nah dude getting Michelin stars is about cutting onions and prepping veg really well.
