Ramsay & White: From Feud to Father Figure

Gordon Ramsay has expressed newfound admiration for his former mentor, Marco Pierre White, describing him as a father figure on his recent Netflix series. This marks a significant shift after decades of intense rivalry and public criticism between the two prominent chefs.

Marco Pierre White, 64, has reciprocated these sentiments, stating he now 'loves' Ramsay, 59, and praising him as a 'beautiful' and 'brave' individual for participating in the documentary.

This reconciliation extends to professional endeavors, as the two chefs have reportedly collaborated to exclude Jamie Oliver from a future project they were all considering. Ramsay received his initial culinary break at White's restaurant, Harveys, in the 1980s.

The past relationship was fraught with animosity, with Ramsay recalling harsh treatment and White making critical remarks about Ramsay's work. Both chefs have navigated personal challenges, including family struggles with addiction, which have seemingly fostered a deeper bond.

Despite past conflicts, including Ramsay's admission of sabotage regarding a reservation book and an uninvited appearance at White's wedding, mutual respect now prevails. Marco Pierre White has agreed to a new show with Ramsay, titled 'The Rock N Roll Chef,' signalling a complete thawing of their long-standing feud.
