Latest News about Marco Pierre White
White publicly criticised the Labour Government's record on hospitality, arguing that dining out is a luxury for the average person rather than a necessity. He has moved his business focus away from restaurants toward wholesale bacon and sausages, having bought a factory in Cumbria. A BBC series, The Rise of the Rockstar Chef, is set to feature him as a transformative figure in British hospitality.
White revealed that a DNA test showed he is 89% Italian, which led him to conclude that the man he knew as his grandfather was not his biological grandfather. He described his mother, who died when he was six, as the parent who gave him affection, and his father as a difficult figure. The revelations came as he discussed the family history behind his name.
White appeared on RTÉ Radio 1 to discuss his move from restaurants into curating a luxury hotel just outside Bath. He also spoke about his ongoing quest to recreate scenes from his childhood and shared his advice on cooking the perfect steak.
