I suspect that is the case with this one...

Jamie must be one of the luckiest Chefs on this planet.

Who was in the right place at the right time.

I knew his two production Chefs when he started out,and he really couldn't cook.

His Restaurants are all franchised and the main man is Gennaro Contaldo.

The production company used to own Jamie.

He has had a real good innings and the majority of the top Chefs won't have anything to do with him.

All about self-promotion and false profit.

Less, quality food and nutrition - which seems to be his fashionable and championing gig these days.

Do as I say, nay as I do.

He started off on daytime TV as basically a kid years ago and he obviously appealed to the masses at the time with how he came across then landed a massive advertising campaign with Sainsbury that allowed him to go forth and multiply into what you see today. Wouldn't eat as his restaurants but I enjoy his programmes and books.

I derive pleasure from telling middle aged women that jamie oliver is gay - it breaks their hearts

So you'd work for him if he'd hire ya?

CS I believe he is looking for a Burger review would you like me to pass on your name.

I guess you must rub shoulders with lots of top chefs and that's how you know their opinion of JO, cheeks.

Fair enough.

I'm sure that with you being a top chef that Jamie regularly begs for you to work for him, you'll be able to get me a discount. You're that kind of guy, one that looks to help others and keeps promises.

Awful place. Appeals to people who think they want good food but are intimidated, sadly, by fine dining. Jamies writes good menu but sells shit. They are just another fast food joint. They only differ from McDonalds in that McDonalds are not dishonest about what they do.

You don't think that makes him smart? Selling budget stuff for higher prices.

It really is the best business model.

I think he's a genius. His customers are fools.

I bought a Jamie Oliver brand garlic-crusher last year. I saw it on sale in a TK Maxx outlet, and remembering Jamies' Mockney 'one of the lads' charms and ebullient personality I purchased this piece of shite which promptly broke after about 5 outings.
This is my Thai missus using it by the way, not some culinary brick shithouse with hands like fucking JCB buckets.
Not surprised his restaurants and food is regularly slagged off. If his staff are using defective utensils like the 2-bob piece of dogshit I bought because it had his cheeky-chappie boat-race on the fucking thing, then it follows that the food will be fucking minging. C u n t

Huge Furry Shittingstick?

Joliver is the most irritating mockney twat in comedy-chefdom - and there's plenty of competition for that crown.

Aren't his westawants just another chain of Frankie n Bennies ASDA-microwave-dinner-reheating joints?

My answer is NO! no matter what!
I have tried Jamie's Italian and worked in similar chains.....just no...try something different if you can....just avoid chain food...specially if Italian. very overrated!

Will try Pomodoro at the Emporium instead

Anyway who goes out to eat pasta other than Sybil, it's cheap shit you cook at home in 10-15 mins, Italian restaurants are something I've never seen the attraction of.

Going to a restaurant has never been about saving money and there's a lot more to Italian food than pasta. Saying that, Jamies is still oversalted shite.

Obviously one doesn't go to a restaurant to save money but an Italian for a night out in the UK would probably come bottom on my list of places to eat out. Maybe a bit different if living in Thailand but as always each to their own. Pasta and pizza doesn't do it for me in terms of restaurant food as in pasta is cheap shit you make at home when can't be arsed to do anything else and pizzas are something you pull out the freezer and bung in the oven for 15 minutes when can't even be arsed to cook pasta.

agree: avoid restaurants where those are the featured menu items...had a delicious panzanella 1st course last night followed by a roast branzino stuffed with herbs and 2 glasses of a fine nebbiolo: delicious, healthy and satisfying...

UK, overpriced, never.

All his books and recipes are online how about a competitive cook off for our many chefs. Same dish, same recipe and a panel of tasters.

I'd settle for being served a sentence from you that makes sense.
