Jamie Oliver’s American food revolution

The World

For this week’s conversation about food, we talk with one of the most celebrated chefs and TV personalities in the world: Jamie Oliver. First known to the world as The Naked Chef, Jamie is coming to America for a new TV show on ABC. We ask him how he’s trying to get Americans to eat healthier and how food culture differs on this side of the Atlantic.

“Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” airs at 8 p.m. Eastern on Fridays, and follows his quest to help residents of the unhealthiest town in America ? Huntington, West Virgina ? to improve their lives by eating better.

Below, Jamie Oliver gives John Hockenberry a quick cooking lesson.
