Originally posted by Chuck View PostFWIW, I think Jamie Oliver, the person, is to be admired. I think he may be trying to do too much at once, but at least he's trying, and he's trying to do some good along the way. His decent eating campaigns, and (I think) the 15 chain that helps young people get a start in their careers is an excellent idea.
Credit where it's due.
But everything I know about him is that he got where he is through hard word and real passion, which IS to be admired. He seems to put his money and (more importantly) his time where his mouth is so even if you don't like him or his views at least he's trying.
When I've heard him do radio interviews and the like, he comes across as quite genuine if a little vocal - but then that's what got him celebrity chef status in the first place.

quite a few of the chefs have over extended and had to close restaurants.
Some of the locations are poor if you are going for a great experience.
Pricing isn't terrible ~ £30 a head 3 courses without wine assuming its better than Dominos.

Jamie trolled by Pub chain

This has nothing to do with Brexit, it's because his food is no better than ours but four times the price!Last edited by Flashman; 6 January 2017, 16:20.

Visited JOI in Glasgow last month, I was impressed with both the food and the service. Not the usual Italian experience and I will be going back.

Jamie Oliver closes six restaurants due to "Brexit" pressures including one in Aberdeen. Shocking Economic consequences.
Although
-the other 42 resturants seem to be doing ok
-In 2015, Oliver closed the last of his delicatessens, Recipease, and in 2014 closed three of four of his Union Jack restaurants.
This Brexit thing has really started to hit hard or maybe just the excuse every company rolls out wanting to make cost savings??!
I wouldn't knock JO for his success, watching the Essex wideboy make it look so easy all those years ago gave me the confidence to start cooking to the extent that I now do 100% of the cooking in our house. My missus is useless, so one of us had to learn, and I really enjoy it. Best of luck to him.

Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostOnce visited the Jamie restaurant in Gatwick airport. Sat and ordered food and drinks and was told 30 mins later that the cooker had died and no food can be served. Didnt have to pay for drinks but had to catch a flight without eating which was a pain.
Or where you Air India?...
