I've watched a few of the Kitchen Nightmares in the US series.
I'd be more interetested in eating in a Ramsay restaurant to see if his food is as good as his arrogance would suggest it must be :) Probably a bit more expensive than even oliver though! |

I would expect him to be there.
as a kitchen porter |

I would not expect him to be there and would not go, as I assume you'll be paying for the brand.

gery, jamie is reportedly worth sveral hundred million so he aint in no trouble what so ever.
it always amazed me that someone who reached the dizzy heights of sous chef managed to turn themself into a worlwide brand worth so much but that's the world we live in (people are thick innit). he seems like an ideal friend for one david beckham. |

By blaming the closure of 6 of his canteens on Brexit he's alienating 17.5 million food eaters who will now go elsewhere to trough, which will mean he'll probably be shutting another 6 of his canteens a year from now of which he can rightly so blame on Brexit

He'll probably have to close all of them after we leave the E,U.

I have it on good authority it has nothing to do with brexit.
It wath purely down to: a) Hith refuthal to thell Hilal and b) hith lithp. |

He's probably pissed off a % of the population who voted FOR brexit with this
 . I'm certainly even less likely to want to go to one again, or if my arm is twisted ... get a bottle of water and grab a greggs on the way :) |

We joined up to his free gold card thing to get a free bottle of prosecco on your birthday if you spend more than £30 on food . Was OK but wouldn't contemplate it without the free booze..

He thinks food price increases are great when it makes comforting treats more expensive for the poor.

I have to admit I'm pleased to see his restaurants failing, if and independent restaurant charged those prices then they wouldn't last 6 months. Just because it's Jamie Oliver some people will go and be happy to pay those prices and convince themselves that the food is good, just because it's Jamie freekin' Oliver. It's not like it's actually him in the kitchen cooking it!
I've never been to any of his restaurants and would never pay to do so, there is one in my town and all those I know that have been have been disappointed with small portions, overpriced, bland food the standard costing for restaurants is 3 times the cost of the ingredients plus VAT, if his chain are doing 5 times cost then that says it all, total rip-off and the Brexit reasoning is rubbish, the Euro was stronger than it is now 4/5 years ago |

His place in Leeds is as many describe above bm, overpriced ordinary food, made to sound less ordinary on the menu. My guess is he's never visited em all apart from opening nights.

breedingmad I'm not a fan of businesses going bust but what we need is properly run businesses and fairly priced offerings for the public, and not someone cashing in on their name. His loss is someone else's gain, and I'm sure they are much more deserving

There aren't enough food snobs outside London to support these celebrity chains.

By:
If they are still running the price is right
|

The fans will rush in at the start for sure, but you can't kid people into paying a cheffy premium for ever. Plenty of better-also worse- vfm in Leeds.

Three really good Italian restuarants in Aberdeen. By all accounts Olivers was not up to standard according to people I have spoken to.
Overpriced and overrated by general consensus. Sad really when Aberdeen being the oil capital of Europe can't produce a decent restuarant. Mind you we don't even have a Waitrose.. |

It might be brexit, stewarty. Almost pmsl when porp said a local Indian restaurant was suffering because they couldn't import a chef.
|

By:
His main problem was he ain't no Italian more Turdian

By:

Jamie trying to blame Brexit, rubbish ! Been to 2 of his restaurants, Bristol & Exeter (Exeter is one of the 6 he is closing, not been open very long !) Food was nice but not great, small portions and very expensive, after going to the Bristol one we thought we might try the new one in Exeter which might be better, it was worse ! Loud atmosphere, slow service, several things on the menu not available, all in all not a good experience, and if I was paying that sort of money again several other places I'd rather go to. And he blames Brexit....!!!!
