Marco is a fucking burnout. He hasn't been noteworthy or produced anything interesting in a long while, and is overly cynical and bitter about the modern food scene. If you aren't passionate about food and cooking then you can hardly be considered one of the greats through history. He says the system is "nothing like it used to be" because it's not all about being in Michelin or Zagat anymore, and competition from little guys is much more potent now with the internet. People don't have to rely on those old travel guide recommendations anymore. Great restaurants have been great before Michelin, and they will likely continue after it's gone.

I think it's hard to say who the greatest is of all time, but Escoffier, as >>8211908 said, built up the modern western kitchen style and made being a chef a respectable profession.

As far as modern chefs go, Thomas Keller, Gualtiero Marchesi, Alain Ducasse, Morimoto, and Daniel Boulud are some guys that I think are at the top of their game. I'm American though, and I know that I don't know much about the many European and East Asian chefs that are very likely just as good.

The webm thread got ded before I could post this.
