Rochefeld, the next restaurant (photo: Network 13)
Guy Gamzo just didn't get it down his throat.
Like many in the bustling community of the Israeli food world, he read Yonatan Rochefeld's latest interview.
Like many, he raised his temperature from paragraph to paragraph, and like many, he grabbed his head at the end of the text, wondering how long it is necessary to refrain from such statements, and feed one of the greatest chef-trolls we have ever known.
Unlike many, he decided to respond.
A small story, relatively modest, moderate, but one that led to a late-night phone call, and to a monologue that was all "Thank God I learned to type so quickly".
take him away
"A little modesty."

"All the knowledge and all the power and whatever you say, but the bottom line is you have nothing, so what is it worth?"
"What else is there to say? The man is rotten. He lives in some kind of bubble from the 1980s, still full of himself, without doing anything, without anything. He is led to some place in Hermon - the coldest place in Israel, which is very suitable for the coldest man here - and leaves About an entire generation that is making progress and is only developing and bringing achievements and bringing in people from outside, tourists and opinion leaders, promoting Israeli cuisine.
"Rochfeld was a pioneer, I'm not saying he wasn't, but why diminish the younger generation?
For all his knowledge, the man hasn't owned a restaurant in a decade.
That means something.
All the knowledge and all the power and whatever you say, but the bottom line is you have nothing, so what is it worth?
"Anyway, you would bring something, contribute and help with all your knowledge. Help to develop. So I would take my hat off, but if you took people, you left them in debt. People's lives collapsed because of you, and he still says, 'How big I am and everyone else is small and zero and I am the smartest And the most genius'. Go crazy."

Rochefeld was interviewed by the Ynet website in honor of the opening of his new restaurant, in the "Panda" holiday village in Beneva Ativ, near Hermon.
"My knowledge of food is a knowledge that is fifty levels higher than any average chef, who thinks he knows something," he emphasized in an interview that also dealt with his downfalls (the many ) and in his scandals (including the near-explosion of that interview itself), "When I say I'm a genius, I mean it because I think there are very few people who are remembered like me.
In the last Master Chef final my name was mentioned twice, why?
Because it's a name that has a significant base of knowledge and logic."
"It doesn't go down my throat."

"I went through all this crap from these chefs. It's all on my flesh and I'm not ready for it to be like this for me"
Gamzo called out, grabbed his head, and couldn't believe that a dirty trench battle was developing here again.
"I'm the middle generation, I've been through all this crap from these chefs. It's all about my flesh and I'm not ready for it to be like this for me. Not ready anymore. Absolutely not. That's why I nurture the young people, Moshiko Avraham at my place at 'Aria' got the reins, and so on They will also accept others in the following places that I will open."
According to him, "It's a difficult field, but from here until they take away all the passion and desire, there is a very long way to go. How zero can you be? How zero can a person be? It's hard for me to digest it, it doesn't go down my throat. It's a shame."
"Praise, Kibinimet!"
The successful chef (Aria, Nonono, Bingo Burger) was the first to respond, making his point of departure very clear.
"I don't blame anyone, and certainly not Rochefeld. I don't think you should express yourself like that. Are you a genius? Keep it to yourself. It doesn't suit me. These are stupid fights, right, we've already known world wars over nothing and nothing and ego. Cheer up , Kibinimet!
"There are amazing young people here who make amazing food, in Tel Aviv and Haifa, in the north and in the south.
They come and do.
Instead of coming and enjoying, nurturing and helping, he only diminishes.
Always me and me and me and me.
do you want war
take war
You zero, take it in your face.
"He knows how to cook, I'm not saying he doesn't, but this behavior? Let go, you don't need to get dirty for ratings," he explained, while wishing "a lot of success in the new restaurant, but for the food, not for the dirt. They say that the way the chef behaves, that's how the food and the plate looks I'm not ready to eat such a character."
