I saw this way back in the day and immediately became very impressed by Jamie; such a natural, working a busy holiday shift and yet describing it all so effortlessly to the camera.
Remarkable influence this restaurant and its aesthetic has had on the way we eat and prepare food. Such incredible women who fostered so many careers in cooking and in food production . This program is nearly 30 years old and it's still fresh!
i used to wash dishes there just a few months before jamie started. theo, the guy preparing the pork, was really cool, but i guess he was too busy for the camera. it was great working there. never ate so well in my life. laugh.
I read (can't find the link anymore) that the special was supposed to feature Theo and be a springboard for him but the tv people really fell for Jamie Oliver.
I trained for kitchen work with some of the best chefs in our city and we were encouraged to continue either by going to culinary school or doing apprenticeships but I didn’t like the fast and rushed pace and decided I just want to bake. Still learning how to bake and has perfected some pies and cakes but I still have lots to learn. Food industry is so fascinating and rewarding but not for me. I’ll just watch shows on tv 😅
So...why did this shoot off Jamie Olivers career..? I mean...he comes off like a good bloke and all but...he's not THAT entertaining, is he..? Or funny. Nevertheless, I'm glad it shot off his career.
Are you kidding me. He just a natural entertainer. Nearly fell asleep when the other chefs talked. I'm not saying he was the best chef in that kitchen, but it#s just the way he talks about the stuff he does
I agree!!! Jamie Oliver is the reason I became a professional chef and enjoyed many years in London's restaurants, hotels and gastropubs. I knew I had found someone special when I saw the first episode of "The Naked Chef" back in 1999. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I knew that's what I wanted to do. 18 years later, and I still can't let go of the VHS tapes that I used to record EVERY episode ever made of that series!!
@@TheNZTchannel Also not forgetting the producers and editors at the BBC probably saw lots more unused footage of Jamie that didn't make the final cut. That sort of stuff sticks in peoples minds.
As beautiful as the food looks, from the remarks of Ruth and Rose, about sourcing the ingredients, lots of stuff flown in on airplanes, truffles and what not, then trucks from the airport, tremendous carbon footprint for these Michelin star places in London, NY, Paris, etc. In the present environment, that may have to change for the next 10 to 20 years, I'm afraid.
Jamie appears at 5:44, 12:28, 15:57, 20:44, 22:51
Exactly the comment I was looking for, bless you
thank you!
You are great
Thanks - I’ll avoid those bits
Thank u!

Definitely you can see the passion in him..he's not changed at all..just made his curry chicken the other day...Bellissimo...

The little Theo Randall ! Thank you for uploading this ! What a restaurant
The two ladies are so calm and elegant!
And on those 45 seconds, an entire empire was built.
the restaurant owner has a very nice personality
thankyou so much for putting this up !!
OMG... He is so very young there:))) Funny to see him now and then... Good job, Jamie!:)

I've got to try this pasta roll Jamie made. It looks so lush.
This was my favorite show I especially loved watching them prep and cook quail pheasant and game meats.
RIP Rose. I didn't realised she had passed!
It's looking very good two ladies working together talk together you know conversation, harmony. That's what I'm looking for. At least for me
Jamie’s first appearance ！
he's so cute and so passionate

Can definatley see where Jamie got his style of cooking from and his Italy inspiration from
Interesting that this was a BBC programme, yet the two River Cafe cookery series were made by Channel 4.
What year was this?
I think the burning question is, did Priscilla Presley turn up for her dinner reservation?.
I want to know what real Italians think of it...kind of funny seeing all British people preparing the food.
1st he was the bus boy
I'ma huge fan; my god hate was a baby.
The difference between a French and Italian brigade is really obvious. No f-words and fired chef de partie or waiters during the whole clip :).
Notice young Jamie wearing wedding ring, wonder who is wife?
Jamie oliver 22 years old wow
sure thats jamie oliver
thats one skinny Jamie... I know what its like to be a chef and work work work..
So...why did this shoot off Jamie Olivers career..? I mean...he comes off like a good bloke and all but...he's not THAT entertaining, is he..? Or funny. Nevertheless, I'm glad it shot off his career.
+MrStensnask Maybe not on camera, but he caught the eye of production team, I think he was just different than the rest of them.

The TV people have an eye for such, potensial stars. They see a bit more from the appearence than the common folk in the street
