After more than two decades of rivalry, Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White and Heston Blumenthal have reunited for a new BBC documentary
Their last shared restaurant appearance, at The Fat Duck in 2003, ended in spectacular fashion after tensions between former mentor and protégé Ramsay and White boiled over
The three-part series, The Rise of the Rockstar Chef, explores how they transformed British dining and made chefs household names
Their latest meeting reportedly produced a splendid lunch, plenty of old-fashioned rivalry and, surprisingly, some genuine warmth.
