I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chef George Mendes the other day and we were just talking about chef stories. How over the top some of these chefs were in order to be the very best.
And through out the night, there was one chef's name that kept on coming back over and over again.
Little is known about this man here in the States... But he's somewhat of a legend across the Atlantic.
Chef Marco Pierre White. Mendes told me that during Chef White's peak, one of his signature dishes was a chicken dish. And no sauce would do but just pure chicken "jus". So, Chef Marco Pierre White would basically find the nicest organic chicken, season them and roast them on a rotisserie and then press them just for their juices. Thats it. The collected "jus" would be kept and and the rest of the pressed meat and carcass would be thrown out. (basically destroyed under the press)
The jus would then be served with his chicken dish of the night and people would marvel at the amazing yet deceptively simple dish.
In homage of this great chef, here's a few clips of Marco Pierre White.
Please take a look.
