The chef’s announcement of his next undertaking is a Channel 4 six part series and a book to accompany. This came just a couple of weeks following the mid year cancelling of his series in the US following poor ratings. What was even more humiliating was re-runs of Strictly Come Dancing has replaced his show on US TV.

Now after dressing like a vegetable and trying to convince a group of skeptical US youngsters that there is life and dietary options after pizza Oliver has opted to return to where he came from and refocus on Jamie’s Great Britain and use recipes such as fish and chips and kidney pudding as well as other dishes both domestic and foreign that Britons love to eat.

His return home comes following a series of foreign based TV shows that included his efforts in the US and around Europe for the Jamie Does…series. He said it took him a while, some twenty years, but he says maybe you need to look for a long time at other countries to see just how really good yours is.

The 35 year old chef cares immensely about his UK and US school meal projects and his setbacks are lessened by his incredible domestic popularity and his personal fortune that is estimated to be in excess of £100m. He hopes that returning to his roots will inspire him to one day find the way to change the way a nation thinks.

Instead of cooking from scratch, Jamie’s own chefs reheat the sauces, place them on dishes, and then add a few garnishes to dress the meal up.  The sauces come from Fabulous Feasts Ltd which is the catering firm owned by Oliver that is located in Oxfordshire.

A spokesman for the celebrity chef stated that the kitchen is only used for a handful of base ingredients such as the base that the sauces are placed on and that those bases are made out of fresh ingredients.  The spokesman added that this is done so that the menu is consistent from restaurant to restaurant and is something that is very common across any restaurants that are part of large chains to provide the same tastes.

When the Glasgow eatery first opened a few of its menu items also came from locations quite a distance away such as its scallops but since it was opened by Jamie the restaurant now serves only Scottish scallops.

Despite the c controversy, at least Jamie is not the first chef to face accusations of not using fresh food items as Gordon Ramsay was in the centre of the media circuit last year when it was found that he served some pre-made meals out of his restaurants from GR Logistics, which is the catering firm associated with Gordon Ramsay Holdings.

The winners were chosen after a survey that included around 8,000 diners. Hardens also reviews around 1,850 restaurants in all of Britain’s major cities before listing its top choices.

Wedgwood is run by Paul Wedgwood and is found in the Old Town of Edinburgh.  It received the Remy Martin VSOP over the restaurants of Turners in Birmingham, Sam’s in Brighton, The Fish House in Chilgrove, West Sussex, and Vatika in Southampton.

Co-editor of the guide, Peter Harden, said that it was only appropriate that Wedgwood received the award given that Edinburgh has become the best city in the UK for top end dining followed by London.  This is due to the fact that it offers a traditional dining experience that is of the top quality.

Also receiving notice from the dining guide was Ludlow’s Mr. Underhill, which was honoured with the Remy Martin XO Excellence Award for showing consistency and all round excellence for a long period of time.  Although the owners of Mr. Underhill retired last year they placed the restaurant on the market with the same name.

Runners up for the same award were Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire, Northcote in Langho, Lancashire, The Waterside Inn in Bray, and Gildleigh Park in Chagford, Devon.

Also praised in the guide was the mid market Italian chain run by Jamie Oliver as a great contribution to the world of dining.

The restaurant does not have a name currently, although it does have a launch date in October of 2010 near St. Paul’s Cathedral.  It will join eight other restaurants and cafes plus around 70 shops in the development area.

Although there is not an official theme for the restaurant yet it is likely that the menu will be similar to Daisy May’s BBQ USA at Perry-Lang’s New York restaurant.  It also will be managed by the managing director for International Restaurants for Jamie Oliver, Kevin Bacon.

The deal was brokered by the Land Securities retail manager David Atcherley who stated that the new collaboration would be perfect for the development and likely draw in around 7m visitors each year.

Symes stated that the restaurant helps set the tone for the One New Change development, and that it will help combine the great location with great food to enhance the dining experience of the area’s visitors.

The One New Change development was designed by Jean Nouvel and is set to open in the autumn of 2010.
