Are We There Yet ? with Kathryn Thomas

Presented in association with Mater Private Network.

Legendary chef Marco Pierre White sits down for a no-holds-barred interview. He dishes on his love for Dublin, why a McDonald’s triple cheeseburger will always beat a posh restaurant, and his glorious disconnect from modern technology. He was back briefly to visit his two Dublin restaurants, launching a new supper club at Marco Pierre White in Donnybrook.

Marco is remarkably honest about his pressure-cooker rise to the top, sharing how childhood trauma fueled his drive to become the youngest chef in the world to win three Michelin stars. Marco defends his unapologetic stance on kitchen tyranny, calls out the modern Michelin marketing machine and his ongoing relationships with his peers, Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal

Kathryn chats to music icon and Westlife star Kian Egan! He steps off the golf course and into the podcast studio with Kathryn, before he runs back across the road to complete the band's record-breaking 13-night run at Dublin's 3Arena.

Finally, in a hilarious quick-fire round, Kian reveals which bandmate is the biggest diva, who is their most surprising celebrity supporter, and reveals who is a “catty genius.”
