I won’t comment on Huntington so as not to spoil the programme, but from the responses of Jamie does America and then being offered a shot at a new production they do love to watch him. I never used to be a fan, but he has grown on me over the years and I quite like him now. I think his heart is in the right place and not purposely exploiting people. I believe he is trying to get his message to a mass amount of people and the tv is pretty much the quickest route. Also, the folks aren’t forced to be on the tv so if they decide to do it they are only exploiting themselves. I must say however that Jamie calling everyone his ‘brotha’ is irritating! He just sounds daft.
Back on topic though, Jamie has come up with a lot of terminology on cooking shows with this food being friends with that food and this food and that makes great mates with this, etc.
One term that really annoys me is ‘this food EATS WELL with this food’ which is one of Gary Rhodes sayings. Drives me mad whenever I hear him say it. The food isn’t eating! I first heard it from Gary and now I hear several other cooks on tv using the term as well.
