Yes, Marco made me cry. (But who's laughing now, says Gordon Ramsay)

By Jonathan Thompson

Gordon Ramsay, the uncompromising Scottish chef who has taken swearing, threatening behaviour and verbal abuse to a new level on British television, was once reduced to "a blubbering wreck" by a fellow celebrity chef, it emerged yesterday.

In his soon-to-be-published autobiography, Marco Pierre White claims he dramatically "broke" Ramsay, who used to work for him at Harvey's restaurant in Wandsworth, south London, turning the fiery Scot into a sobbing mess.

A spokesman for Ramsay yesterday admitted that there was "some truth" in the claim, but added that the hard-headed star of Hell's Kitchen and The F-Word was only 20 years old at the time, and just starting out in the restaurant world.

In his forthcoming memoir, White, 44, writes of the incident: "I don't recall what he'd done wrong but I yelled at him and he lost it.

"Gordon crouched down in the corner of the kitchen, buried his head in his hands and started sobbing. 'I don't care what you do to me,' he said as he wept. 'Hit me. I don't care. Sack me. I don't care.'"
You can see Gordon in a couple scenes in this video.

Sorry wrong labled video, I fixed it and put the right one in it. That's Gordon in the opening scene and helping make the pasta with his flock of seaguls blonde hairdo.

The Marco programs on Youtube are fantastic. He did a series where he cooked for all HIS chef mentors.

I am psyched to learn that Ben is a member of HBT!
Ben -My wife and I watch every episode and both agree that you are one goofy dude(in a good way) and it's easy to root for you. I hope you continue to do well and win MC.

GO BEN!

I take it there was no new episode last night? My hulu queue was empty. I know there's an episode tonight, but I thought there were 2 episodes a week.

Yeah, apparently someone thought the president had something important to say so they aired a rerun instead.

Tell her I love her?

I did catch on the aphrodesiac episode her comment about noone cooking romantic meals for her in awhile...I think she needs me.
