I get lost on YouTube! While perusing the internet yesterday, I found this old show that Chef Marco Pierre White did in the late 80′s on British television. Apart from being a wildly fascinating character study, it is very cool to see the man cooking in the Harvey’s kitchen – the place of so much lore.

I remember this song from my childhood. My parents used to dance to this song at parties to no end and it brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it, because it reminds me of very happy times.
