    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.

      You’re now wrong on Jamie Oliver, but I feel you think too highly of ramsay. He definitely is a celebrity first now as well, just one that happens to cook better than oliver

        The difference is that Oliver was a sous-chef when he was first picked up for a TV show, whereas Ramsay had been head chef at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants before he got his TV shows.

        Oliver’s restaurants have never been awarded any Michelin stars. Ramsay’s have been awarded 17.

        One of these two is a real restaurateur and chef, one of these is more of a food-related lifestyle brand.
