The Naked Chef Goes Italian
I think Jamie Oliver is a brilliant person, but when Italian is not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear his name.
The first branch of “Jamie’s Italian” is due to open in Bath in the spring. Others are planned for Cambridge and Brighton and within a few years, Oliver is intending to open up to 40 “neighbourhood” restaurants serving “authentic” Italian food.
Ahh, but if we read the article we find out more…
Oliver’s mentor, Gennaro Contaldo, the executive chef and co-owner of Passione in Charlotte Street, London, has been helping with the menu and the staff training. “So it’ll all be completely authentic, rustic Italian,” added Oliver.
All pasta will be freshly made on site and the bread will be created daily by artisan bakers. The chicken will be free-range.
Gennaro Contaldo is creating the menu. He’s also training the staff. So the whole thing will be completely authentic, rustic, Italian… well, except for the Jamie Oliver name stamped above the door.
Still not too sure about this one.
