    +Jamal Davis ...Totally agree, hes much more than a Chef. He inspires people on what you can achieve with passion. My grand parents are from Sri Lanka and what he says is absolutely true Sri Lanka is a paradise

    you can't rehearse answers like this. He always has a smile and calmness when he's talking about it. Rehearsals won't give you that same kind of effect. For comparison purposes notice how he replies versus how politicians reply. This man truly believes every word he says. He quit the Michelin star business at 38 and is still making bank.

"gorgeous inside and out" is an interesting statement about about someone who has a definite dark side.. if you do know about the man and still find him gorgeous , i aplogize for my impertinence and will say no more.

    I love how they uploaded an unedited version. Marco knew he didn't do Sri Lankan cuisine justice, and he asked for a quick do-over. He then began by describing the women that cooked for him and highlighted their lack of equipment. He mentioned humility just before, and what a showcase of humility by giving such praise for the cooks despite his status.

    I'm a fan of Marco Pierre White and I am always captivated by his way of speaking, his way of engaging and communicating with others. However, seeing how he was affected by his time in Sri Lanka was so refreshing! It's wonderful seeing someone of his history of accomplishment possess the humility and respect to speak of being unable to cook Sri Lankan cuisine like the ladies who cooked for him. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't possess the same kind of "Oh, I think I could do it too." kind of mentality many other chefs display. What I mean by this is that he admits that he is from a certain culinary background and that is his foundation. He could definitely take inspiration from what he has experienced in Sri Lankan food but he would never try to "do it" or pretend to like many chefs who, to put it bluntly, bastardize cuisines that they are not trained in.

    Marco says its all luck, but when he tells his story it was hard work, to me it just sounds like he isn't giving himself credit for it. He says he worked for chefs unpaid, that has nothing to do with luck, that was dedication and hard work. Not many people would be willing to do something like that.

    I honestly think he didn't understand. Lots of people have a more mathematical and arithmetic mind and don't understand the other end of the pole which is emotion. Lots of folks cannot fathom a life of strictly feeling and emotions, which are equally as powerful. To them it has to "add up" and point A has to equal point B. To each their own.

    It's nice to hear someone so articulate admit that material/financial success has a lot to do with luck - and that you can't even begin to pursue such success by your own will if you don't believe you're good enough, or if you aren't immersed in just the right conditions.

    I guess a difference though would be if you work in a mill or in a mine no one is going to award you stars or celebrity status for doing so... a chef job is a little different, you can actually get famous for it... and it the job looks like it has a lot more variety, endless variety really, I guess since it's also an 'art.' Overall I appreciate it... I like good food, but there is something a little different about being a chef to other things.

    This guy is bad at interviewing. No sense of humor and keeps asking the same thing over and over. Despite that Marco is incredibly sincere and totally guides the interview. It is only a shame that they kept cutting the video after about 2 minutes of his answer despite the fact that he obviously spoke for longer. Altogether horrible work by the entire pulse team but Marco's magic still shines through.
