Jamie Oliver Plans to Open First US Restaurant

Famous TV chef Jamie Oliver has announced plans to open an operation of his most successful restaurant to date, Jamie’s Italian, here in the U.S. The celebrity chef’s managing director, Simon Blagden, is organizing the plans for the new restaurant, which would be Oliver’s first U.S. establishment.

Currently, Jamie’s Italian, which serves traditional Italian food at high street prices, is open at 24 sites across the United Kingdom in cities from Glasgow to Brighton. Further openings are scheduled in St. Albans and Manchester for this Spring.

Jamie Oliver has made the decision to enter the U.S. restaurant market because of his emerging television presence. The TV chef has become well known in the U.S. for his ABC show, “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution,” and for numerous talk show and cooking show appearances.

While the plans to open a Jamie’s Italian in America are still in the beginning stages, chef Jamie Oliver is still making a name for himself here in the states. The TV chef has been making headlines by calling for healthier foods in U.S. public schools and challenging national health policies. In addition, chef Oliver has been advocating for the need to educate children about nutrition and proper food choices, so as to combat the growing health issues that America’s youth face today.

Oliver’s devotion to helping solve the health and nutrition issues that face today’s youth is well documented. The famous chef has even served as an inspirational speaker at the annual TED Talks meetings, engaging audiences around the world and garnering support for his mission. Because of his passion for this cause, chef Oliver would make a great spokesperson or inspirational speaker for a food or other brand looking to align itself with this health movement. Should a company choose to hire Jamie Oliver as speaker or spokesperson, that brand could receive instant credibility in the market place due to Chef Oliver’s celebrity status and might receive positive consumer sentiment for the alignment with a noble health cause.

So You Want To Host A Celebrity Book Signing?

Being involved in a celebrity chef book signing can be a dream come true for those fans who love meeting their favorite chefs. Imagine watching your favorite celebrity chefs creating dish after dish on the television. Then the opportunity arises to actually meet them.

Getting a book signing in order for celebrity chefs can be an intense task. The behind the scenes job most people aren’t aware of. From organization to advertising, companies representing the chefs treat each book signing with professional care.

Most chefs release their own cookbooks with original recipes. Some, however, depending on their status and fan base, may release an autobiography to share their life story with curious fans. Supporters who have followed their careers from the beginning of their celebrity status may be eager to learn where their roots began, what culinary institute they studied at, and what mentor in their lives inspired them to chase their dream.

When chefs do celebrity book signings they usually travel to the well-known cities across the United States, such as New York City, San Francisco, St. Louis, and more. The bookstores introduce their newly released book to consumers the moment they walk in the door. The chefs are ready and waiting to sign autographs and smile for friendly photographs.

The willingness for chefs to take part in book signings could possibly grow their fan base and sell more books as people enjoy the one on one conversation with the signers. The reality of standing next to their favorite chef allows the consumer to feel more connected, which leads them to not only want to buy the book, but purchase more products in the future.
