So after last weeks mixing it in the hood, is he going to be acting all cowboy? Is he becoming the most annoying man on tv?

"you a cook or chief" "no I'm a cowboy" … priceless

No, he's had the title for years

that beef though mmmmm cooked on pitchfork in a bucket o fat.

i wouldnt have liked to be "ethnic" in that first bar.

I really do not get the Jamie Oliver hating.

That is all.

would be better if he stopped saying 'brother'!

I just saw the thread title with the name chimptastic next to it and thought yup!

Sorry Jamie or should that be 'brother' 🙂

i like jamie oliver I feel as though I can cook people like his and levi roots is food ( I get the impression you like him too you watched him last week 😉 ) Impersonating someone often endears you to them which is probably important in south central LA. He's getting a bit porky though.

If i could cook like him i would be the size of his £4.1m house.

I like him. He's done a lot of stuff educating people about good food.
Shame that you can't lead a horse to water etc.

jesus £4.1 million, maybe socialism ain't that bad after all.

Last week he blurted out about being a responsible new dad or something, . . . whilst being thousands of miles away for few weeks in a different continent altogether from his precious family.

….earning money to provide for them. Yeah, the man is a tyrant.

He's a good bloke; anyone who doesn't think he's OK is jealous – just watch something else FFS!

Maybe they were with him, I think women and kids are allowed to fly these days too if their husband/dad is famous.

Think he rung home last week. All upset.

Wish he had stayed at home. I think he's earned more than enough to provide for his family for the rest of their lives.

….earning money to provide for them. Yeah, the man is a tyrant.

sorry, I was forgeting it was either that or the soup kitchen!

If he's that interesting a bloke, he wouldn't have to come onto a chat show, (I use that term loosely), like Jonathan Woss and start cooking on Wosse's desk!

For lord sake just have some dignity brother!!

He should have got a medal for what he's done to improve school food.

he made a fajita or something the other week with fish in it on a pier. He was concerned that it wouldn't fit in his mouth, that made me laugh.

the children of stw unite again…

jesus, surely more in life to get your knickers in a twist…like tyres and valves? Go on kids..

why watch someone on TV if you hate them?

do you enjoy complaining about the fact that you're dumb enough to make yourself get annoyed by not watching something else?

would be better if he stopped saying 'brother'!

surely you mean 'bruvver' 🙂

He cooks stuff i can can cook, so i actually like the guy, but he's trying to hard to be 'street' sometimes – maybe it annoys me cos i'm not 'street'. not even a bit. bruvver.

I like his cooking skillz and what he did for school dinners was immense imho. But at times I find him a smidge irratating.

Don't know the bloke, but he seems alright
Sure that's not his real accent though, daresay he really has a middle class one which wouldn't be judged as cool

Mr Woss has definitely made a big effort with not sounding those R's, he went to my school and I was mates with his brother
Can't recall that accent being so pronounced then otherwise he would have had the piss took out of him even more relentlessly

Jamie Oliver is great

It's been cool to hate Jamie Oliver for a long while now. Surprised noone has brought out the 'fat tongued tw*t' comment for all to chortle along with.

Grow up children :/

I really enjoyed the programme.

I really like the guy. As folk have said, it was cool to take the piss out of him and for a while Ramsey was more popular, but for me he comes across as an honest nice guy.

i like him – he found himself in a position of being a famous TV chef

unlike everyone else in the same position he used that fame to set-up a restaurant to help give a skill to out of work young people, and to promote healthy eating, better school dinners etc.

The only bit that slightly winds me up are his Sainsburys ads – I think there is sometimes a direct clash with the values he promotes on his programmes and in his books – and what the major supermarkets stand for

He suffers from the same problem as a lot of TV chefs doing their travelling bit. He's showing us his holiday snaps and doing the odd bit of cooking where he tries his hand at "improving" the way the locals cook but manages to miss the point.

The whole thing was mostly okay viewing if you can ignore him saving "bruv" every time he talks to someone. That said, he's not really doing much more than treading the well worn trail and "uncovering" food that everyone knows is there anyway (I'm guessing we've got a soul food episode coming up?). Missed opportunity when there's so much more to see.

That said, him sympathising at the "brutal death" of the gang-leader in the last episode was a bit in poor taste. It's not nice for his family but really, being a leader in the bloods he's likely to have taken or ordered the taking of enough lives himself.

you are him!

I find him a very annoying little twunt – but there is no doubt he has really tried to use his fame and his skills for good – school dinners and the 15 restaurant project.
