Michel has left big shoes to fill and I am delighted to be working with Monica and Gregg on a new journey of discovery to find the next generation of Michelin-starred chefs.” To now become part of the show is hugely exciting for me to be asked is a true honour. Marcus Wareing said: “I have been watching MasterChef since I was a young kid at catering college and in more recent years I have enjoyed an established relationship with the programme. This year it has been renamed ‘Marcus’ after an extensive renovation which transformed the once-familiar claret dining room into a stunning new contemporary space.Ģ011 saw the launch of his second restaurant, The Gilbert Scott at London’s St Pancras and in September he will open his third London restaurant, Tredwell’s on Upper St Martin’s Lane, Seven Dials. In 2008, Marcus launched ‘Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley’. Next followed Young Chef of The Year, further Michelin stars in 2004 and a second coveted star in 2007. An incredible talent – he was awarded his first Michelin star aged just 25, one of only a handful of chefs to be recognised at such a young age. Originally from Southport, Merseyside, the son of a vegetable supplier, Marcus began his career at The Savoy at 18 years of age and followed this with a stint at Le Gavroche under Albert Roux and other renowned restaurants including The Grand in Amsterdam, The Point in New York, Aubergine, Guy Savoy in Paris, L’Oranger and Pétrus. “His food links into the best of British heritage and produce in an extremely exciting way, though he still pays homage to his classical training.” “We are delighted that he is taking up the baton of judge with us – his experience of coming from humble beginnings in the North of England and making his way into the country’s best kitchens, to then rise to be awarded two Michelin stars is extremely inspiring and will speak to the young chefs who hope to follow in his footsteps.
