I got a hell of a lot of respect for Jamie Oliver, he's an amazing person.

Talented chef, but fat tongued mockney. Did good stuff re school dinners. Shame nobody of any influence took any notice.

Jamie Oliver is a massive cunt and a mediocre chef.
It's a long running joke in high level chef circles that Oliver has never had a Michelin Star.

He's a fat tongued, mockney, Toploader-liking, spittle-spraying cunt.

I wouldn't eat anything he'd cooked, it would be full of his pukka saliva.

The fat tongued cunt.

Did some good campaigning work though.

Self-publicity, the hypocritical, bleating prick.

Again I differ in opinion.

That TV show where he got those kids and trained them up.
He was on that, telling them all that he'd put his house on the line, his restaurants, everything, and that if 15 failed he was fucked. Skint. Ruined. Bankrupt.

He was doing Sainsbury's advertising campaigns at the time.

the ad campaigns probably helped fund the training

You fuckwit.
If he lost a load of money he could just do a few more ads and have a few more million.

You fucking idiot.

Who cares.
He has a family to feed. You do what you do to survive. I believe in his ethos even though I don't really enjoy cooking myself that much.

People are too cynical nowadays.

The only reply I can think to this is "Yeah'.... and?".

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 21:13, Reply)

Meaning he was spouting yet more bullshit.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 21:15, Reply)

He did have to remortgage his home a few times throughout his carrer, as do a lot of buisness owners.
It's hardly the worst bullshit anyone has said for TV, if it even was at all. Fifteen has cost absolute millions, it doesn't mean he could front that sort of cash himself at that point in time... nobody here knows what his money was at the time.

Besides, he was probably told to say so on account of the whole "Good for TV" thing.

'Besides, he was lying just to keep his fat smug mediocre-chef face on TV'

Cooking isn't all about Michelin Stars.
It's about making tasty every day food and getting the public to enjoy cooking again.

If I had to choose between eating at home with Jamie or one of the Roue brothers, then I know who I'd choose.
( girlinthehole, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 21:00, Reply)

The Roux brother, right?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 21:01, Reply)

I know.
But you knew what I meant.
( girlinthehole, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 21:02, Reply)

Bang on.
I watched a show about The Michelin Madness, about how people go crazy on their first star just trying to keep even, when if they kept to what they were doing, they would be heading upwards.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 21:06, Reply)

It's stupid.
I'm all about passion for food. You have a passion for food and that's more important than what it looks or to a certain extent tastes like. If I visited rural France, I would rather have a home cooked dinner than one of those fancy restaurants.
( girlinthehole, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 21:10, Reply)

French quizeen has never done it for me, but I totally get your point.
I guess it's like the difference between an artist and a decorator. Both are essenchal to the subject of design.

He's never been about the stars though, I'd be more piss-taking of the Hairy Bikers who ovbously these days are about the the ponce but wont' ever see a star.
1) He has a lovely family, who he treats right, and they do well out of him
2) He's bought an entire revival of home-cooking to the homes of a lot of people
3) Ok, he's not star worthy in the slightest, but that is far from everything, and it _can_ be depriemental... look at how many resturants go under within the first two years of getting a star. Suddenly people think they have to book to get in.
4) His books and shows are actually very good.
5) His campaigning, not only schools but for troubled youths, is exactly what this country needs.

Ok, if I was given a chance to go to any resturant for free in london/uk/world/etc, he wouldn't be even in the top 5... and the meal I got at Recipease was very disapointing (but the pasta lesson was amazing)... but as a person and to a lesser extent a cook, I think he's a great man.
