The many face of Marcus Wareing - Our favourites from MasterChef: The Professionals 2019

This season of MasterChef: The Professionals has taken us through a rollercoaster of emotions and many of Marcus Wareing's reactions to the chefs have been very relatable. Here are some of our favourites...

(Let us know in the comments which Marcus you are today!)

1. When you get a complaint from a customer who doesn't know how what they're eating is supposed to be served

 

 

2. When you ask your chef to make a poached egg and they start boiling water in a frying pan

 

 

3. When you 86 an item and immediately get 6 orders of it 

 

 

4. When the commis has finished cleaning down

and reorganises the walk-in instead of sneaking out for a fag

 

 

5. When you find out your delivery for the bank holiday weekend is going to be late

 

 

6. When a member of staff you know went out the night before ~conveniently~ calls in sick

 

 

7. When you see another chef using your knife

 

 

8. When a waiter comes in and announces six dietaries on a table of 16  

 

 

9. And finally, when your team is perfectly in sync and smashes a Saturday dinner service shift with minimal hiccups

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
