The greatest chef in the world, saying he never wanted to be a chef, living proof that you can achieve anything when you put your mind to it

Marco seems to be as much of a philosopher, as he is a chef.

Marco: "Whatever you work with, just feel it, handle it, touch it, smell it, eat it."

Me working in the sewage treatment plant: "Alright... It's my choice."

Can you imagine an American tech bro or finance bro openly acknowledge the people who helped them move forward in their careers?

Gordon earned three Michelin stars. I gave mine back. He kept his. That was his choice. We don't speak

Marco, I listened to your Oxford Union talk. It inspired to get out the kitchen. My life is better now and I still enjoy cooking for my family.

It was Marco’s choice to get three stars.

The thumbnail maker screwed up. The caption should have simply read, "there we are."
