Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert explore Marseille's seafood, fishing traditions, colonial-era history, and gritty charm, from Michelin-starred cooking to bouillabaisse and local crime fiction.

## Key Takeaways

- Marseille is a culturally rich, Mediterranean port city whose reputation is undeserved and whose food is among France's finest.
- The city's identity is shaped by its colonial-era links to North Africa and its strong multicultural population.
- Traditional fishing and simple, seafood-focused cooking remain central to Marseille's culinary heritage.
- Marseille's economic and social divides, along with its crime history, contribute to its gritty character.

## What the video covers

- Bourdain and chef Eric Ripert visit Marseille, France's second-largest city, which both men note has a poor reputation among the French despite its beauty and food.
- The pair go fishing with a traditional fisherman who works exclusively for chef Gerald Passedat of Le Petit Nice, Marseille's only three-star Michelin restaurant.
- Passedat's tasting menu features raw shellfish carpaccio, lobster and fish dishes, and a deeply flavored rock-crab broth made from over 10 kilos of crabs per kilo of liquid.
- The episode presents Marseille's history as a rough, principal port for France's North African colonies, giving the city a strong Tunisian, Moroccan and Algerian influence in its sights, smells and food.
- Crime writer Cedric Fabre discusses Marseille's layered history of crime and corruption and its sharp divide between very poor and very wealthy neighborhoods.
- Bourdain and Ripert visit a pizzeria with high-end toppings and a bakery, and sample local dishes such as sheep's tripe stuffed with onions, parsley and salt pork.
- The hosts attend a major football match, where the city's soccer team's fortunes are closely tied to local identity.
- Bourdain reflects on the city's multicultural character, describing Marseille as a place where people are connected to the wider Mediterranean world.
- Discussions of local real estate show how protected historic neighborhoods limit large modern development, shaping the city's character.

Answers

## Questions about this video

What is Marseille's reputation according to the episode?

The hosts note that many French people view Marseille negatively, often calling it dangerous or ugly, and saying it is 'not France.' Bourdain argues the reputation is unfair and finds the city beautiful, friendly and full of interesting people.

What dish does Gerald Passedat prepare at Le Petit Nice?

Passedat serves a four-course take on bouillabaisse, starting with raw shellfish carpaccio and followed by seared fish, a rich rock-crab broth, and a final course with steamed fish and saffron potatoes. The episode describes the broth as requiring more than 10 kilos of rock crabs and small bony fish per kilo of liquid.

How does Marseille's history influence its culture?

As a major port for France's North African colonies, including Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria, Marseille has absorbed strong African influences that show up in its architecture, food, scents and population. Bourdain notes that the city feels closer to North Africa than to parts of northern Europe.

07:08

Speaker A

my the contents of my stomach only by realizing that they're feeling even sicker because they have to look through the viewfinder so they're like so it's basically you're playing this sort of race against time kind of a game it's like who's going to

07:21

Speaker A

puke first yeah it's always the camera dude so is it no generally it's a producer [Music] [Music] foreign well there it is another extraordinarily successful fishing scene in the camp time to reap the rewards awaiting us back on dry land

08:21

Speaker A

the best you don't have a good idea there's reinvented deconstructed and then usually there's the thing itself pasada's take on base without a doubt marseille's most famous dish is spread out over four courses first shellfish carpaccio of raw mussels

08:44

Speaker A

and clams and they're raw of course and they slice the mussels raw that's crazy wow when i decided to make this boya best i had the inspiration when i was a child on those rocks you know when i was in my

09:02

Speaker A

knife opening the muscles eating the mussels in my kitchen there is no cream no butter it's not traditional at all it's just based on the fish this is my way of thinking my cuisine here for myself slipper lobster weaver angler and red

09:18

Speaker A

grenade lightly seared then a touch in the oven in the future oh whoa oh this is just incredibly beautiful it's so delicate and at the same time flavorful and powerful this is insanely good [Music] a broth so intense it requires over 10

09:38

Speaker A

kilos of rock crabs and various bony tasty little fishes to make just one kilo of brown gloriously brown magical liquid dorad and denti steamed over seaweed water saffron potatoes and then finally comes that magical brown broth oh wow

10:14

Speaker A

11:24

Speaker A

[Music] marseille was once the hub the rough-and-tumble principal port for france's colonies such as tunisia morocco and algeria as a result the sights and smells of africa permeate the city there has been attempts to dissuade me from oh i'll say you don't want to go

11:52

Speaker A

there and yet i come here correct me if i'm wrong it is a beautiful city it smells good you smell the different pastries the tagine we absolutely read and it's an extraordinary looking city and the people are really interesting

12:06

Speaker A

looking you must say you are in the center of the world because the world is in marseille we are connected to the mediterranean sea so it's very different from the north of france i feel closer to a guy from morocco

12:21

Speaker A

than a guy from maybe germany or it's different [Music] cedric fabre is a marseille crime rider who spent decades deciphering the dense layers of crime and corruption pastis and sunshine it's a perfect town for writers of noir plenty of atmospherics

12:42

Speaker A

and lurid history why do you think it's such a fertile ground to set up a crime novel for me it's more interesting because you write about the the place you live in i walk in the street i have an idea etc i

12:56

Speaker A

couldn't write about the past things like james elroy does because i have to know the the real the real part of the city the people here it's a really interesting stew of characters it must say there is a very

13:11

Speaker A

poor area and a very rich area the difference between those two areas is the worst in france so that makes an interesting city because when we write to crime novel we write about those differences between the poor people the

13:26

Speaker A

rich people etc so that's interesting [Music] famines is an algerian restaurant with some of the better couscous in town and since it's a very filling dish and i've only got one crack at it i go for the royale what else

13:41

Speaker A

vegetables chickpeas merguez sausage chicken hunks of lamb and meatballs what people say is that everybody sees themselves as martial's first and french second regardless of your background is that true because in marseille we love that city it's our

14:00

Speaker A

city and in the same time we hate a lot of aspects we have both love and hate it's part of a complex i think massachusetts has always made the bad choices in politics when france lost his colonies it was an economic disaster

14:17

Speaker A

for marseille i'm thinking about one of your cities uh in the states uh detroit it was a huge city it was very important and what happened yep we abandoned detroit we abandoned it uh it became too black for for america to learn maybe france is

14:34

Speaker A

abandoning marseille [Music] sometimes people say in maasai people they are racist i would say in marseille people they are connected with other people let's hope marseille people figure that out because i think it's amazing [Music] if you ask neil marseille these days

15:05

Speaker A

however each month georgiana vue hosts a dinner for her female colleagues chefs all everybody here a chef in the business yeah how many more are there like you the others uh maybe three or four in marseille france kind of uh matches nature yes country

28:09

Speaker A

and if you want to find your place in a brigade it's very difficult when you are a girl really but actually like in a in mediterranean the example for cooking the basic is called la cuisine yes yes because if you want to have good food

28:24

Speaker A

you don't go to a restaurant in marseilles that much you know that your grandmother or your mother will cook much better georgiana is from benin via nigeria and london but beyond all else she's marseilles beef tartare with botarga dried bullet

28:42

Speaker A

eggs apple and celery counter-intuitive one would think but truly amazing and delicious i'm coming from paris and i used to cook with butter and cream and whatever and today i can't imagine my cuisine without olive oil without vegetables without seafood

29:00

Speaker A

without spices and on the top you're going to put some putar it will be the salt of the tartar it's a good idea and it's better than putting anchovies if you want you can do it at floyd bernardo

29:12

Speaker A

and you call it uh georgina starter [Laughter] i'm gonna do it i'll send you the picture sure for me seriously i'm gonna do it ah cool and my single favorite marseille classic a dish which encapsulates everything i love and believe in about food first the

29:33

Speaker A

hair on the sheep's foot is burned off the meat is then tenderized and cut into pieces sheep's tripe is cleaned and cut into squares each piece is stuffed with onions parsley garlic and salt pork before being rolled and wrapped into small

29:48

Speaker A

pouches these are stewed for several hours of a sauce of white wine tomatoes bacon onion and carrots along with the sheep's foot i love this dish i love this dish this is everything i believe in in food this

30:00

Speaker A

is just absolutely the top it's a dish with salt to make it good you have to put your salt into it yes if you don't have it you don't have to you don't have to repeat it i like it here he's already thinking

30:17

Speaker A

about retiring here in marseilles she said i could retire i said i could retire here yeah yeah why not no no no i'm happy to hear that it's not an easy city it's not a museum disneyland you know

30:35

Speaker A

everything is kind of dirty and complicated but when you are in marcen and just you have the fantastic light and the sea and you can have the best fishes yes you are home i mean just like being home

30:52

Speaker A

[Music] mars say he's not france in the best possible way algerians moroccans italians their cultural and culinary influences have enriched marseille with flavors and colors all their own but there's another major influence the corsican mafia who to be fair along

31:27

Speaker A

with their italian sicilian colleagues did kind of run things around here for much of the last century those days are mostly over and the corsican presence has dwindled to a few thousand which is a shame because corsica produces some of the most

31:41

Speaker A

wonderful charcuterie and cheese anywhere there's a lot of preparations with pancetta and the cheeks awesome we want everything umiyo pace a cured meat and cheese shop run by marie paul and family still going after 70 years famously or notoriously

32:00

Speaker A

or however you want to put it this was a corsican town i mean when i would go to uh akasha as a kid yeah my aunt probably a typical you know sort of xenophobic uh french woman of her of her generation

32:13

Speaker A

and all you know all the corsicans you know they're all gangsters or policemen ah mercy oh the today just got better very flavorful oh this one is unbelievable the flavor of that is something yeah they're not [ \_\_ ] around licorice too

32:33

Speaker A

i love this this makes me happy want some no have a pizza you want some this is the koppa this one is special all right let's move on some cheese ah look at that that's beautiful those ones are milder and young

32:54

Speaker A

those ones are strong oh wow that is something it looks very inoffensive but it's like that is some deep funk that is some wow see when i eat cheese like this and i drink wine like this i start thinking

33:08

Speaker A

about my don cheech fantasies maybe you saw godfather too yeah of course i just think i could just spend the rest of my life sitting in a hill in corsica eating goat cheese and drinking wine and having my enemies killed by remote

33:21

Speaker A

control i would love to live that lifestyle except for killing enemies as you know i'm i'm not killing anyone but i've never seen you wish ill on anyone as long as i've known you you've never even said that rat bastard

33:36

Speaker A

i hope something really bad happens i hope he gets stomach cancer or you you've never even said i hope he loses his girlfriend you've never wished ill on anyone so let me ask in your darkest heart of hearts do you ever

33:50

Speaker A

stray do you ever find yourself thinking oh i really hope they just i don't know i hope they get herpes i wish ill on people every day sorry tony you know i mean she has to l [Laughter] [Music]

34:15

Speaker A

it's a big night in marseille the city's football team that soccer team to you is playing which means the whole city's watching eric and i head to the hipster plen neighborhood to meet up with jill ruff a filmmaker and sports writer for france's

34:29

Speaker A

top newspaper le monde so tonight the big game yeah it's marseille lille it's it's leel against marseille because it's in leo it's not here so we we get to watch it on tv and will all of marseille be watching this

34:43

Speaker A

yeah everybody's gonna be watching you know we did a very good season but at the end of the season we are only fourth so it's a must very important so it's a must win today right so the dream of every marseille

35:04

Speaker A

the perfect season would be to see marseille crush paris and then move on and go all the way they don't want to be second to paris you know right they want to be second to none and in football

35:16

Speaker A

it's one of the only issues where they can be first [Music] that's why people here love so much their soccer team because it's the place where you can show your identity if you go all around those streets and

35:48

Speaker A

you ask people where are you from they will tell you how i'm from algeria i'm from morocco but if you ask them what is your favorite team they will say [Music] because they are a part of the city they

36:08

Speaker A

are from this city and the football team is the flag of this city [Music] [Applause] [Music] about 75 years ago the properties around the column were mostly farmland then small shacks or cabana the working-class families from the city used as weekend

36:48

Speaker A

getaways no running water or indoor plumbing simple a place to get together have a long whiny lunch [Music] you can't build new ones and the ones that are here like this one owned by dominique and natalie lafrere have been

37:06
