He exists. Honestly, that's as far as my opinion on him goes.

Have you proved this yet or are you just taking everyone's word for it
Haiyaa..
YAYUH
John Oliver is the better Oliver
Shit. I literally read John in the OP and was confused by all the comments I was reading. Until I read yours and went: hold on a sec. Scrolled back up, and sure enough OP was about Jamie π
John Oliver better know as "Who?"
hes like chili jam on fried rice
I love his chicken nuggets video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKwL5G5HbGA

He's a celebrity first and a chef second, unlike the likes of Gordon Ramsay, who's a chef first and a celebrity second.
He's a bit worthy and his restaurants are a bit shit, but I'm sure his heart is in the right place.
I hate how much he hates chicken nuggets. His only argument against them seems to be that they use all the bad dirty bits of the chicken. I'm like "Yeah..if we're going to eat chicken we may as well eat all of them."
He's the apple shagger that gave Scotland both the Irn Bru ruining sugar tax and got rid of our two for one pizza deals. So no, don't really like him.
Itβs a boring answer but I assume youβre looking for a consensus? I donβt know much about him, but I like cooking videos and Iβve enjoyed his content in the past.
It's all very well telling people what to cook. The problem is many don't know how to cook. By that I mean they don't know the logistics and workflow, so a meal that should take 15 minutes to make instead takes an hour or more. When I enter the kitchen the first thing I do is switch on the stove. Then I prep in the order that I need ingredients. I've noticed a lot of people do all the chopping and dicing first and only when they have everything prepared they put pans on the stove. If you're going to make potatoes get the water on the boil first, then get the potatos out and clean and chop them. There are lots of things that save time when cooking. I cook most things together in a single cast iron pan, and I add leftovers to the dishes I'm cooking so the ingredients go further. I think that should be taught more instead of just handing out recipes.
My house is going to be halfway burnt down by the time I finish chopping vegetables if I turn on the stove first.
We got a gas stove so the heat is there immediately, very practical.
I'll remember that just as soon as I work out how my oven works. You can't just turn it on, it asks what mode you want it in, I don't know I wanted on. Hot, I want hot mode.
He stole me turkey twizzlers, so he can fuck right off
Haiaaaaaaa, please not Mr. Chili Jam
Who's Jamie Oliver?
Hes a mediocre cook with a lot of luck. Don't get mevwrong, hes not bad. But hes not great either.
Knew a chef that trained under him for a bit, apparently he's quite a cunt
For me he's a great TV cook in terms of how much positive influence he had with my bubble and me. I don't know if i would be so passionate about home cooking if it wasn't for his work. That being said i wouldn't be on a months-long waiting list to visit his restaurants (dunno if any still exist).
Hes a poncy, hypocritical cunt that looks down on 98% of society because he thinks hes better than everyone when hes nothing more than some bloviating blowhard that doesnt even live up to what he says others should do.
Not sure who that is, but I love the name Oliver. He must be named after my cat
His frying pan series is shit.
Fuuyoooh
He doesn't know how to pronounce common words.
A chill and jolly celebrity chef. A good protagonist if Ramsey was the antagonist.
He's a celebrity chef.
Why do you think of Jamie Oliver?
Decent
Before I answer, why do you think if Jamie Oliver?
