>Last week, court documents emerged showing Jamie’s Italian had debts of £71.5m
>The crisis at Jamie’s Italian has followed a series of business setbacks for Oliver, who by his own admission has “fucked up” 40% of his ventures and lost £90m of his wealth since 2014.
>In 2015, Oliver shut the last branch of Recipease, his chain of cookery shops. In 2017, he closed the last of his four British-themed Union Jacks restaurants. And in October his food magazine, Jamie, stopped publishing after almost 10 years.
I can hardly care about a rich chef suddenly becoming less rich (poorer would just be inappropriate as he probably still rakes in millions)
Nicholas Powell
I hope so. Live and learn. Best of luck to the guy and his family
Jacob Ramirez
How many million did he spend with michelle obama to fuck up U.S. school lunches
Easton Cox
Daily reminder: Red states contracting out to the same corporations supplying prisons is why you get pig slop for school lunches.
Jaxon Green
I guess you could say it was all that... Oliver Oil.
Oliver Hall

Jack Murphy
I liked his campaign to push healthy eating for kids. But he is still a cunt.
Benjamin Walker
He seems like such a nice person. I legitimately don't understand all the hatred he gets
Charles Rogers
I feel bad for him. He had a simple message and an honorable passion early in his career. He blew up right at the nascence of social media marketing and I'm sure the shithole he's falling into now is the result of being pushed to do things he wasn't knowledgeable about or ready for.
In the end, while his finances are questionable and his business savvy is obviously not up to par, I think his message is a good one and he can recover from this. He's still young, entrepreneurial, and he has a fantastic reputation in the industry.
His YouTube channel sucks dick now, though. Shame. Genarro and Donal will have to pick up the pieces.
Jayden Rivera
he's a bourgeoisie lefty like gary lineker.
Evan Kelly
Daily reminder: bleeding hearts demanding that school lunch be designed down to a price point so they can give it away for free to future criminals and drug addicts is why they contract to those corporations.
Luke Wright
Why were court documents like this made public?
Eli Ramirez
That's unironically, a good question.
Ryder Watson
Happens all the time. Some PA will get the documents during discovery and make some quick cash by leaking it.
Bentley Kelly
Obviously there will be some arrangements regarding what his personal exposure is and that the company's debts largely go down with the company itself. Also his restaurants are trash.
Jamie's Italian is one of the few restaurants I've really not enjoyed.
Caleb Thompson
Could be worse.
Also can someone explain how Celebrity Chef-owned chains work? Do they just formulate the menu and recipes themselves and pay others to make them at different locations? Do the franchise branch heads all have to be personally trained by the Celebrity Chef? How much freedom do they have to customize anything?
Tyler White
He comes across as a bit of a prick but his heart's in the right place.
Henry Davis
Visited his restaurant in Amsterdam, 6 people in it, weird atmosphere, bad location, overpriced. Food was mediocre at best.
Eli Watson
Petal Blossom Rainbow has got to be the worse one. At least the others have (almost) proper names, >Poppy/Rosie >Daisy/Pamela >Maurice (tfw old man name) >Dallas And hers is just a mess of abstract nouns.

how many splashes of olive oil is this?
Juan Allen
One.
Alexander Watson
Mom gave me a cookbook of his for christmas, was pretty skeptical but it's suprisingly good. Not really stuff you'd need a cookbook for tho, but I'm not really the creative type and it has some nice quick and easy recipes.
Owen Ward
good
Alexander Hughes
Capitalism is the only reason you able to sit alone in your room being angry at people more successful than you. It's not the reason that you are.
Chase Hughes

Connor Roberts
His restaurant chain are all franchises. He has no personal financial exposure to them, he’s simply endorsing the franchises with his name/ brand. If you wanted to start one you need a minimum of one million GBP in available funds so the 71.5 million is actually secure debt. A bit of a non story really considering it’s a relatively young brand, all startups incurr debt early on.
Mason Gomez
I'm still a fan, but I think he bit off way more than he could chew. Expanded too much, lost focus, etc. And old story, but it's more or less what happened. He is stretched so thin the last couple of books wasnt even written by him.
Juan Reed
same Oops, pressed submit too early. Anyway, about the latest cookbooks, they don't really have any "soul", or rather, passion, and feel more like obligations. I really hope he comes around, heck there is a reason why Ramsay haven't expanded his business as Jamie Oliver has.
Jaxson Price

Aaron Turner
>shit chain restaurants are closing
Nothing of value is lost. Also his Recipease shops were absolutely atrocious, dunno what he was thinking when it was mostly really basic ingredients but massively overpriced.
Jose Brooks
Ramsay also almost went bankrupt several years ago but managed to dig himself out of it and is doing fine now. It was during the recession though so don't know what Oliver's excuse is.
Angel Rivera
daily reminder the recession never ended
Noah Thompson
Based. Nobody is going to give them shit for it since they're rich and semi famous.
Chase Hernandez
Ramsay fucked around on his wife and paid a hefty fine for doing so later
Jaxon Phillips
>Petal Blossom Rainbow
I have a female cousin called rainbow as her first name, she's 28 now, at least she could blame her parents being hippies, no excuse for oliver fucking his kids up now though
Ayden Jackson
didn't he go to some hooker? I think it should be perfectly legal practice for the man to visit a hooker once in a while. Can't stick it to the same chick forever, doesn't work.
Landon Wright
>didn't he go to some hooker?
yep, a male. supposedly going on for years.
Angel Watson

his point still stands since it was Capitalism that pulled china out of the disaster Comrade Mao caused with the great leap forward.
If you think China is actual communism your off the plot
Christian Jenkins
Oliver won't "leak" a full frontal nudity image of his self.
Sebastian Hughes
He has very little invested in it besides his name, maybe 3 million. His fortune will be fine

I bet that it smelled amazing in that store. I can't imagine how they cleaned that up. They'd need to call BP oil for those absorbent thingies by a truckload.
Jaxson Roberts

Wyatt Diaz
>muh tendies God forbid you lards actually eat something healthy.
Fuck Jamie Oliver. I'll never forgive him for his interference in other people's diets and the withdrawal of turkey twizzlers.
Thanks to him we now have food treated the same way as cocaine. 2l coke bottles have been reduced to 1.75l. Lucozade and Irn Bru no longer contain as much sugar. And what's his problem with forced meat (ie pate)?
I hope the fucktard kills himself, his wife dies of grief and his children are taken into care where they're force fed chicken nuggets day in, day out for the next decade.
Kayden Bailey
It's clear from this post that the general population needs to be kept in check, turkey twizlers are part of that
Blake Smith
If I want to gorge myself on mechanically recovered turkey I will and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it. This is why we the ordinary people voted for Brexit. We've had enough of being told what to do.
Benjamin Williams
How the hell do you go into that much debt?
Joseph Nguyen
I'd say kill yourself, but youre already well on your way in doing that already.
Samuel Green
£71m debt is huge debt for a franchise business with a simple and stable supply chain. The business is fucked.
Charles Hall
>Jamie Oliver restaurant group >stable supply chain
>not written by him That isn’t true. Cookbooks are generally collaborative efforts. He has dyslexia & ADHD, and so has and editorial team to help him condense his words properly and actually write out a recipe. He has a good testing team to make sure all the recipes are tested at least three times. He has a nutritional team to make sure everything is as balanced and nutritious as it can be. But at the end of the day, every single recipe is his call.
Connor Parker
What do you think is incredible about it? To me is just seems less like cooking and more like assembling.
Brandon Johnson
It's a limited you morons. He'll be fine privately.
>a great book for students, due to the low level of skill and costs involved >you can make a dish that looks fancier than it actually is in order to impress on a date >provides a good introduction to the processes of cooking and flavour interaction
Sure the recipes aren't all ground-breaking, but it's found a niche that appeals to a wide audience. Plus, it shows people just how easy cooking is
Jackson Ramirez
Not the user you're replying to but this basically his schtick. He's annoying but his books and recipes are alright. Overall a positive influence imo.
Been to a few of his restaurants. They're never excellent and at best they're variable. As awful as they sound, the "italian nachos" are actually alright.

For a business worth 50-100m he should be constantly doing due diligence on the supply chain. There are service companies in the UK who do exactly this specifically for restaurant supply chains.

He's a mediocre chef, his restaurants were worse than that, he got exorbitantly wealthy off his horrible forced 'cockney' speech.
