Slog - Comments on Chef Sets Himself On Fire, Gets Stabbed in the Hand http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/chef_sets_himself_on_fire_gets_stabbed_i Marco Pierre White, kitchen god and undeniably bad motherfucker, was in town last week to promote his new memoir. At the dinner (for which I shelled out an insane amount of hard-earned money to meet the man), MPW certainly lived up to his legend--passionate, boozy, venerable, lecherous. Also, Sambuca was set on fire and fumes were inhaled through straws. Today, invaluable resource of information Page Six brings news of MPW's escapades in New York last week at the Spotted Pig: As White was demonstrating a flaming Sambuca trick to pals Mario Batali, Tony Bourdain, Carole Radziwill and others, the...

Of course, if you credited half the shit you steal from Gawker, who would read you?

If you've seen Gordon Ramsey's schtick, Marco is the guy he stole it from. And who wouldn't want a boss who screams spittle into their face from three inches away every goddamn day?

"foodies" in this city don't know anything.
@5, as a cook, a majority of my bosses have "screamed spittle into my face from three inches away every goddamned day". Marco does it with flair and sex appeal.
@6 MPW is british. have you ever considered there are ways to do flaming sambuca shots other than the one that you and your redneck highschool buddies from Renton perfected?

Ahh, British! Ever tried their
cusine, Dawn? Memorable, isn't it?

BTW, I spent my misguided youth in
Hawai'i. The only flaming shots we did were for the haole tourists who
were snapping pics of us dancing.
Wait, if memory serves me, I remember doing a flaming shot with a British rugby team on tour in Monterey one year. Does, that count, Dawn? It is
a bit far from Renton.

I thought those two hated each others' guts and wouldn't be caught dead in the same room.

One of Bourdain's quotes was that he wanted to be adopted by them. I think he's probably on good terms with Mario.
