No

He's more a cunt.

There's probably 10 people on the planet who claim to work in food service who aren't unbearable tossers. I haven't met any of them.

I probably want to hang out with Jaime before hanging out with Alton Brown who seems like the epitome of the 'insufferable cunt'. Bourdain would be fun I reckon, same with Mr Flavo(u)r Town, meeting Nigella would end up with me in court, unless she's down for a squeeze.

>Alton Brown who seems like the epitome of the 'insufferable cunt'

Go home, bongland. You're drunk.

He's alright; his Fifteen restaurants were started specifically to train young people and are pretty successful at it.

Did I step into the mirror universe?

>>6972877
>>6972880

He rubs me the wrong way,

>"Oh, you haven't had a steak until you've cooked it directly on coals for 30 seconds!


He's the elitist fuck that everyone I know copies. I'm in my 40s and these wire-framed glassed cunts adore him.

I like Jamie, his dishes are pretty simple and rustic and he promotes using cheaper cuts of meat and spending some time with them to make good food, suits my style of cooking.

>>6972852
>Is he a twat?
>>>

He should just shut up and cook.

>>6972889
>elitist

Have you watched his show? His entire shtick was simple, inoffensive recipes that the average American wouldn't run away in terror from.
They were bland, even. Probably why he always encouraged the viewer to experiment to their taste.

>>6972901

I'm not American, thank Dawkins

>>6972896
>rustic

>>6972903
I don't see how that's relevant, other than further evidence that you are backwards and wrong.

>>6972906

Well see, Alton Brown isn't known in other countries unless people search him out. The people in countries that aren't America who like food that do know about him will name drop him as a point of difference to try and bamboozle 'less knowledgeable' people.

Terrifying to know that the world doesn't end 50km from your house. Enjoy your Mac'nCheese and insulin.

>>6972852
he's a massive, massive twat. but i really like watching him cook. there's not much comfier than jamie at home tbh

"Jamie Oliver sees his children – Poppy Honey Rosie, 12, Daisy Boo Pamela, 11, Petal Blossom Rainbow, five, and Buddy Bear Maurice, three – only on weekends and during holidays, “which is fine”, he says."

>>6972922

>>6972852
He comes across as a bit of an oaf, but I actually think his campaigns against unhealthy school dinners and sugary foods were spot on.

The rising levels of obesity in the UK could be directly correlated with the increase of American/American-style food products available in this country. His campaign DID lessen that rise to some extent

>>6972852

DUDE OLIVE OIL LMAO!

>>6973079
>"look, children! ORGANS! In YOUR chicken nuggers! Isn't that absolutely disgusting? Don't you feel revolted by this perfectly good, nourishing offal's presence in your food? Doesn't it make your spine tingle and your skin crawl? Don't you want to swear off any meat you haven't personally ground by your own hand?"

Jamie was a retard about school lunches.

>>6973116
I agree the program he made was a bit retarded in getting the message across, but the aim of the campaign was perfectly valid. Some of the shit they served kids was not only pretty disgusting, but really unhealthy

>>6972852
I didn't use to have any opinion about him until one day when I realized that he has a really big tongue. It becomes very obvious when he's talking, as if he has a constant pool of saliva building under it, and he sounds like a retard sometimes because of that.

Once I noticed that, I could never un-see it and it kinda ruined things for me...

pink slime ;_;

>>6973211
he has mild down's syndrome

>>6973116
>Jamie was a retard about school lunches.

He was spot on about school lunches; they were feeding kids complete shit, full of salt & sugar, because of budget constraints. He showed it was actually possible to feed the kids better food on the same budget.

Also yes, pink slime is fucking bullshit and people should be told what's really in their "meat".

>>6972852
He's more a pillock than a twat. >>6972873
Given the choice, I'd go for a pint with Raymond blanc.

>>6972852
He is a chef, so yes, it is part of the job.

Yeah he's a twat

>>6973360
gordon's crispy pancakes had me in stitches

took me a while to realise it was a parody as well, at first I thought gordon was actually slopping milk around his kitchen, which is a hilarious concept

>>6973238
>I'd go for a pint with Raymond blanc

>implying he wouldn't complain it was too warm and ask for some cognac instead

assuming you're a bong of course

>>6972922
If you look at Jamie's wife face you'll know exactly why he does not want to be at home.

>>6973494
she used to be hot as well

>>6973494

She doesn't look bad at all you homo. She just looks aged.

>>6973934
Right.

And aged =/= hot.

>>6973222
I can't even tell if that's a joke but I'm half tempted to believe it.

>>6972873
I wouldn't mind giving Nigella a midnight snack seeing as she likes them so much. she won't even have to go down to the fridge for it.

>>6972911
Aww look, another American hater. What a unique and well-founded opinion you have there. Your stereotypes and hatred are on point with every other sheep who blindly follows the news and believes everything they see to be an accurate representation of the whole. Surely you are an intelligent and useful member of society, not an ignorant fool who allows others to generate his opinion for him.

>>6972852
He's a huge fucking sell out, just look at the prices of this shit

Did he have a custom treadmill made that can support someone who weighs 500 lbs lumbering on top of it?

>>6972852
>is Ramsay's Downy little brother a twat

Obvs

>>6973366

Can't never have too much olive oil. Keeps your shits nice and slippery

>>6973936

It's a matter of taste.

>>6975061
Is this pasta?

>>6972922
Well, they already have stripper names, it's only natural he'd go for abandonment issues in order to truly set their path in life in stone.

I served him the other day in my restaurant, he's doing his new series in my town (Southend)

he's a sound bloke to be honest, was really nice about the food even though I'm just starting out and gave me some nice advice

>>6976061
"my restaurant"

what I mean is, the restaurant where I work

>>6972852
Can't look at him without thinking South Park.

he took away my fucking Turkey Twizzlers, i shall never forgive.

I hate his chippy and casual style, it really rubs me the wrong way

>hello you lovely people today we're making an absolute classic recipe that I got from my mate Dave trust me you're gonna love it

>>6976397

I felt the same for the longest time.

Then I had a meal in Barbecoa and warmed to the downy little spacker a little.

>>6973934

>she just looks British

There's your problem, friendo.

Friendly reminder that these are considered 10/10's in the UK.

>>6976453

yea the cunts a bit of a tosser. Hosts with english as a 2nd language cooking shows are always the best

Simon Rimmer from Sunday Brunch is pretty good.


Mostly because him and the other host are just drunk for the last half hour of the show.

>>6976467
"Grandma" looks waaaay older than me.
I'm almost 34.

In all fairness, though; you could find specimens like these in any country.

>>6973366

this was literally the impetus I needed to purge my mushroom swiss burger and buffalo chicken pizza, thank you lad

>>6976467
sad thing is these specimins are absolutely typical for working class people in the UK

oh wait

>>6979812
No one said I'd be forced to watch them, chuckles.

>>6979809
of course you hate Delia Smith, isn't /ck/ number 1 rule "If you don't hate it, it's not worth thinking about"?

>>6979813
So you're just very upset that they exist at all. You're right that's much more reasonable.

YESSSSSS

Jamie was one of the first chefs I really liked on tv. His first few shows were fantastic. But he has since gone the Rachel Ray route and is making crap that supposedly home cooks make because it's easy. In the last 5 or so years the only good shows he's made were the ones about his travels, the ones showing how to cook have some horrible recipes.

Also, olive oil.

>>6979798
>not pointing out Fanny Cradock

tbh
