英國名廚傑米奧利佛(Jamie Oliver)驚傳債台高築,欠下銀行、房東、供應商等約7150萬英鎊(約新台幣29億元)債務,甚至積欠員工薪資220萬英鎊。

傑米奧利佛從烹飪節目起家,之後呼籲改善英國學校飲食,並推廣有機食品,知名度大增。他在英國擁有25家連鎖餐廳,海外28家,包括台灣,著有多本暢銷食譜,在英國的超市也能買到傑米奧利佛品牌義大利麵醬;然而,傑米奧利佛的財務似乎並不如他的知名度一般風光。

「太陽報」報導,傑米奧利佛的公司去年虧損1000萬英鎊,為了不讓餐廳王國崩盤,他甚至懇求房東降低房租。傑米奧利佛的債權人9日開會,決定減租3成,避免餐廳倒閉,但為了公司重組,傑米奧利佛的25家英國餐廳中,有12家必須關門,預估將造成450人失業。

根據「太陽報」取得的法庭文件,傑米奧利佛的公司Jamie’s Italian Limited積欠匯豐銀行3020萬英鎊,包括透支與貸款,另外積欠房東、供應商4130萬英鎊,並積欠薪水220萬英鎊。

推估身價1.5億英鎊,和妻子及5個孩子住在千萬英鎊豪宅的傑米奧利佛因為連1000英鎊的帳單都付不出來,上週被一名啤酒公司老闆在推特大肆嘲諷一番。

這家啤酒公司負責供應傑米奧利佛在蘇活區(Soho)的餐廳,從去年10月就一直在催收這筆貨款。憤怒的老闆史密斯(Mark Smith)在推特上留言:「我注意到你(傑米奧利佛)還在上電視,可以把帳單付一付嗎?」

文件指出,傑米奧利佛的財務陷入困境,是因為投資不足,新餐廳的選址不佳,加上經營成本太高。

傑米奧利佛公司聲明:「我們很高興獲得債權人的全面支持,這是一個堅實的品牌,我們將繼續提供顧客高品質的服務、美食及用餐體驗。我們有信心,新成型的結構將會創造成長及盈收。」

公司發言人強調,和債權人達成協議,代表餐廳員工和供應商能拿到錢,也挽救了1800人的工作。

傑米奧利佛去年就關閉了6家餐廳,表示原因是脫歐造成英鎊疲軟,導致從義大利進口食材的成本提高。不過,傑米奧利佛的餐廳近幾年來在網路上屢有負評,也有前員工抱怨工資低又操勞。

傑米·崔佛·奧利佛MBE英語:Jamie Trevor Oliver,1975年5月27日)是一位英國廚師烹飪推廣家,以原味主廚(The Naked Chef)之名廣為人知,他因擅長使用有機食材,以及幫助改變英國學校的飲食習慣而為人熟悉。

人物傳記[編輯]

傑米·奧利佛在英國艾塞克斯郡(Essex)一個名叫克萊維林(Clavering)的小村莊長大。他的父母經營一家叫做「板球員」(The Cricketers)的酒吧。他在1989年與Leigh Haggerwood組了一個叫做 「Scarlet Division」的樂團。由於傑米·奧利佛有閱讀困難症,他在學校的歷程並不算十分順利,最終無法順利畢業。他於16歲進入西敏寺飲食學院(Westminster Catering College)就讀。他在倫敦的主廚Gennaro Contaldo身邊工作了七年,並敬稱對方爲自己在廚藝界的良師,1996年,當他在倫敦「the River Café」任職時,被電視製作人Patricia Llewellyn發掘,促成他在電視上的首次露面。 這位製作人是在觀看一部名爲《Christmas at the River Café》的紀錄片時,就立即發現了傑米·奧利佛的明星潛質。

兩集非常受歡迎的《原味主廚奧利佛》(The Naked Chef)分別於1998年和1999年拍攝完成。在2000年6月24日,他和暱稱爲「Jools」的模特Juliette Norton結爲連理。兩人於1993年認識,現在已經有三個女兒,一個兒子。女兒分別命名爲Poppy Honey(於2002年3月出生),Daisy Boo(於2003年4月出生)和Petal Blossom (於2009年4月出生)。兒子名為Buddy Bear Maurice(於2010年9月出生)。傑米·奧利佛後來又與美食聯播網(Food Network)和英國電視節目製作公司Fremantlemedia簽約錄製《奧利佛挑美食》(Oliver's Twist)節目,事業更上一層樓。

2003年6月,傑米·奧利佛在英女皇生日時頒布的榮譽名單裏被宣布授予英帝國員佐勳章(MBE)。他也開設了一家名爲「Fifteen」(十五)的慈善餐廳,並在那裏訓練15名下層的貧窮青年,讓他們有機會進入餐飲行業。類似的主題餐廳已計劃將在全球範圍開展。阿姆斯特丹的「Fifteen」餐廳已於2004年12月開業。位於康瓦耳和墨爾本的「Fifteen」餐廳也計劃於2006年夏天開始營業。他也在泰晤士報撰寫專欄。根據推測他應該已經是一名千萬富翁。傑米·奧利佛也是一個有機食物的支持者。

電視節目[編輯]

傑米·奧利佛主持的第一個節目系列是英國國家廣播公司(BBC)的《原味主廚》(The Naked Chef)。節目的標題是表示傑米·奧利佛的食譜都相當的簡單,並強調保留食材的原味,和裸體並沒有任何關係。傑米·奧利佛數次承認他對這個節目名稱並感到不太高興,這個名稱是由製作人Patricia Llewellyn提出(在本節目的英國版本片頭中,其中一個片段是傑米·奧利佛向一個未露面的發問者說「想都別想!不是我裸體,是食物!」[1])。這個節目的成功也促成了《Return of the Naked Chef》和《Happy Days with the Naked Chef》兩本書的推出。

現場節目[編輯]

2001年的「The Happy Days Live Tour」是傑米·奧利佛首次的現場演出,在英國、澳洲和紐西蘭都有數場演出。在門票幾乎銷售一空的場地中,傑米·奧利佛在舞台上現場烹飪食物,並且和觀眾互動,內容包括競賽、音樂,以及通常只在流行音樂演唱會中才會出現的舞台特效。他在表演中演唱了由雷格·海格伍德(Leigh Haggerwood)創作的歌曲《Give It To Me Hot》(直譯為:趁熱給我)。傑米·奧利佛每年都會參與英國國家廣播公司(BBC)的烹飪節目演出,並且在2006年再度於澳洲展開巡迴的現場演出,演出地點為雪梨墨爾本,節目內容和之前的現場節目有相同的要素,特別來賓Gennaro Contaldo(傑米的好友)、來自倫敦「Fifteen」餐廳的學生,以及其他人特別寫了一首名為《Fish Stew》(直譯為:燉魚)的歌曲,這次的現場演出非常成功。

爭議與批評[編輯]

儘管傑米·奧利佛在個人事業上獲得極大的成功,但是他也經常成為其他名人或英國的特定族群民眾嘲弄的對象。他如青少年般「輕浮」(laddish)的態度,和接近九〇年代中後期「Mockney[2]現象的口音,使他成為部份人士心中不受歡迎的代表人物,以及電子郵件笑話中的題材。而由於奧利佛在英國媒體上的大量密集曝光,也造成另外一種的批評聲音(參見廣告、電視節目、和書籍章節)。

在2003年,傑米·奧利佛在英國第四頻道Channel 4)的「100位最糟糕英國人」票選中獲得第28名。雖然這項投票的立意並不太嚴肅和正經,但其靈感是來自英國國家廣播公司(BBC)的「100位最偉大英國人」票選。票選的主旨是要找出100位社會大眾由喜愛轉為厭惡的英國人。提名的人物必須為英國人,並且不可為已過世、正在服刑或審判中的人。

2005年,由於傑米·奧利佛在電視節目中屠宰小羊,使他受到新聞記者、動物人權人士以及部份社會大眾的強烈抨擊。他在《奧利佛出走義大利》(Jamie's Great Escape)節目中割斷一頭小羊的喉嚨,但是卻沒有先使小羊昏厥。傑米·奧利佛也因此可能違反歐盟法律中在屠宰過程中保護動物的規定—所有動物必須先昏厥後才可宰殺。有民眾要求控告奧利佛虐待動物。

當傑米·奧利佛在他的校園食物活動中坦率的提出各種建言的同時,部份記者和母親卻批評傑米·奧利佛經常在節目中,咒罵(使用「asshole」混蛋等字詞[3]l)在孩子的餐盒裡放入不健康食物的母親們。

2006年9月26日,傑米·奧利佛和英國南約克郡的「Rawmarsh Community School」一起成為頭版的新聞,由於一群家長集體抗議反對傑米·奧利佛風格的午餐(所有該校的1,100名小學生每天必須食用兩份水果和三份蔬菜)。家長們說「我們的孩子有權力選擇他們愛吃的食物」。隨後家長們在學校附近的三明治和速食店中購買食物,並將這些熱騰騰的食物,隔著圍籬交給在校內等待的小學生們。傑米·奧利佛針對此事回應「我已經受夠了這些混帳」、「如果他們想要害死他們的小孩,就讓他們這麼做吧」。[4]

這起在學校發生的事件,成為當地小報以及BBC新聞的頭條,而家長和傑米·奧利佛兩方都有受到批評。

James Trevor Oliver, MBE (born 27 May 1975) is a British celebrity chef andrestaurateur. He is most known for his typicallyEnglish cuisine that has garnered him numerous television shows and restaurants.

Born and raised in the village of Clavering, Essex, he was educated in London before taking his first culinary engagement at Antonio Carluccio's Neal Street restaurant as a pastry chef. When he moved to serve as a sous chef at the River Cafe he was noticed by the BBCand in 1999 debuted his television show, The Naked Chef which was followed by his first cook book subsequently becoming the No. 1 best-seller in the UK. After his Naked Chef Series he was endorsed by multiple companies and expanded his television capacity to include a documentary calledJamie's Kitchen; garnering him an invitation from the Prime Minister to 10 Downing Street. In June 2003, Oliver was honoured as aMember of the Order of the British Empire.

In 2005, Oliver initiated a campaign originally called Feed Me Better to move British schoolchildren towards eating healthy foods and cutting out junk food; this campaign was eventually backed by the British government. Soon after he launched his first high-end restaurant, Jamie's Italian, in Oxford in 2008 and hosted a TED Talk winning him the 2010TED Prize.

Early life[edit]

James Trevor Oliver was born and raised in the village of Clavering. His parents, Trevor and Sally Oliver, ran a pub/restaurant, The Cricketers, where he practised cooking in the kitchen with his parents.[1] He has two siblings and was educated at Newport Free Grammar School.

He left school at the age of sixteen with two GCSE qualifications in Art and Geology[2] and went on to attend Westminster Technical College now Westminster Kingsway College.[1]He then earned a City & Guilds National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in home economics.[3]

Career[edit]

Oliver cooking at one of theScandic Hotels (2014)

Oliver's first job was a pastry chef at Antonio Carluccio's Neal Street restaurant, where he first gained experience with preparing Italian cuisine, and developed a relationship with his mentor Gennaro Contaldo. (Later in his career, Oliver employed Contaldo to help run his successful collection of high street restaurants, Jamie's Italian[4]), Oliver moved to The River Café, Fulham, as a sous chef. It was there that he was noticed by the BBC in 1997, after making an unscripted appearance in a documentary about the restaurant, Christmas at the River Cafe.[5]

In 1999, his BBC show The Naked Chef débuted, and his cookbook became a No. 1 best-seller in the United Kingdom.[6] That same year, Oliver was invited to prepare lunch for the Prime Minister Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street.[6]

In June 2000, Oliver became the face of the United Kingdom supermarket chainSainsbury's, through an endorsement deal worth $2 million a year.[6] In July 2011, after eleven years, the partnership between Oliver and Sainsbury's ended. The final television advertisement was for Christmas 2011.[7]

After three series of Naked Chef programmes (The Naked Chef, Return of the Naked Chef& Happy Days with The Naked Chef) for the BBC, Oliver moved to Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, where his first series was a documentary, Jamie's Kitchen which followed the setting up of Fifteen restaurant in London. The restaurant, in Westland Place, London, continues to train young adults who have a disadvantaged background for careers in the restaurant business.[8]

In June 2003, Oliver was awarded an MBE for his services to the hospitality industry.[9]Although it is customary to wear a tie for the prestigious event, Jamie Oliver had decided to wear a brown suit instead, since wearing a tie had made him nervous [10]

In 2005, Oliver initiated a campaign originally called Feed Me Better to move British schoolchildren towards eating healthy foods and cutting out junk food. As a result, the British government also pledged to address the issue. Delving into politics to push for changes in nutrition resulted in people voting him as the "Most Inspiring Political Figure of 2005," according to a Channel 4 News annual viewer poll.[6] His emphasis on cooking fresh, nutritious food continued as he created Jamie's Ministry of Food, a television series where Oliver travelled to inspire everyday people in Rotherham, Yorkshire, to cook healthy meals. Another television series is Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (2010–11), where he travelled first to Huntington, West Virginia and then to Los Angeles to change the way Americans eat, and address their dependence on fast food.[6]

Oliver's holding company, Jamie Oliver Holdings Ltd., earned enough for Oliver to have been listed on The Sunday Times list of richest Britons under 30.[11][12]

Burgers at Jamie's Italian at Oxford

In June 2008, he launched a restaurant called Jamie's Italian, his first high-street business venture, in Oxford, England.[13] Jamie's Italian has proved successful and there are now thirty five restaurants in the collection. The brand has been franchised globally and now includes branches in the UAE, Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Russia, Turkey, Singapore and Hong Kong. In December 2009, Oliver received the 2010 TED Prize.[14] In 2009 his chain of cooking school/delis called Recipease were opened in several locations in the UK including Brighton, Clapham and Notting Hill in London. By the end of 2015 all stores had been closed.

Oliver hosted Jamie's 15 Minute Meals on Channel 4, which aired for 40 episodes in 2012.[15]

In January 2018, Oliver announced that he was to close 12 Jamie's Italians and was seeking rent reductions on another 8.[16]

Advertising[edit]

From June 2000, Oliver was the public face of the Sainsbury's supermarket chain in the UK, appearing on television and radio advertisements and in-store promotional material. The deal earned him an estimated £1.2 million every year, although neither J. Sainsbury nor Oliver have ever discussed the exact figure.[17]

By 2004, the company had made 65 advertisements with him, but this arrangement has not been without controversy. Oliver was reported to have admitted that he does not use supermarkets. He criticised Sainsbury's CEO Justin King when Oliver slammed the "junk" sold by supermarkets that ends up in the lunchboxes of millions of children. King reportedly hit back, saying: "Dictating to people—or unleashing an expletive-filled tirade—is not the way to get engagement."[18]

Oliver also markets a line of non-stick pans and cookware for Tefal and has appeared in Australian television commercials for Yalumba wines, using Del Boy's catchphrase of "Lovely Jubbly".[19]

In August 2013, Oliver and Canadian supermarket chain Sobeys announced a partnership in improving nationwide nutrition and advertising campaigns.[20] In October 2013, he began a partnership with the Australian chain Woolworths Supermarkets on a series of better nutrition initiatives and advertising campaigns.[21]

On January 2016, Jamie Oliver and HelloFresh, an international meal kit subscription service, announced a partnership to incorporate his recipes to the weekly subscription deliveries. Customers receive one recipe written by Jamie Oliver with all the exact ingredients and steps for the dish. HelloFresh also agreed to the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation per Meal Box in addition to supporting other Foundation activities.[22]

Controversies[edit]

In 2005, Oliver was widely criticised by animal rights groups for slaughtering a fully conscious lamb on his TV show, with PETA stating that it showed to the public problems with the methods used within slaughterhouses.[23] PETA spokesman Sean Gifford said that the footage hopefully "could turn the more diehard carnivore into a vegetarian". British TV regulator Ofcom reported seven complaints from the public.[23]

Jamie Oliver in Toronto 2010

Oliver has been known for his comments about other chefs and has spoken out against Marco Pierre White, who has been critical of Oliver in the past, and the swearing ofGordon Ramsay.[24]

In 2005, Oliver embarked upon his school dinnerscampaign to improve the quality of food fed to pupils in schools. While the campaign was arguably successful,[25]at the time it was a controversial shake-up for students and parents, some of whom believed that the students should have a healthy option available, but still be given the choice as to what they want to eat.

In 2011, Oliver, an advocate of cooking meals from scratch and using local produce, caused controversy after it turned out the sauces used in Jamie's Italian in Glasgow were from an industrial park almost 400 miles away in Bicester.[26] That same year, he came under fire for lack of food safety protections in his restaurants and illnesses associated with under-cooking mince meat that may have been contaminated with E. coli.[27]

In 2014, Oliver's central London butchery Barbecoa was voluntarily closed for 24 hours after hygiene inspectors gave it the second lowest rating. The Times reported they had found mouse droppings, mouldy carcasses and out-of-date meat.[28]

Oliver and Gordon Ramsay are spokeschefs for the "Big Fish Fight", which campaigns for sustainable seafood, but were criticised for their use of endangered fish.[29][30]

Oliver was criticised for underestimating the cost of supposedly cheap food he encouraged poor people to prepare for themselves, also for an unrealistic view of poverty in Britain andround the Mediterranean.[31] Cookery writer and poverty campaigner Jack Monroe stated that Oliver's comments "support damaging myths that poor people are only poor because they spend their money on the wrong things, rather than being constrained by time, equipment, knowledge or practicalities".[32] Monroe added, "When I was living on £10 a week for food, because of mistakes with housing benefit payments, I didn't need a hug. I needed a fiver, just to have a little bit more to eat. I didn't need [a trip] to Sicily to see how the street cleaners ate, I needed someone to point out that the 21p can of kidney beanscould be the staple ingredient in a nutritious meal. I needed practical advice about what to do with the tins of food given to me by the food bank."[33]

In 2014 Oliver became the culinary face of Woolworths Supermarkets.[34] Oliver came under strong criticism over the funding of the advertising surrounding his relationship with the supermarket.[35]

"Moreover, in this case he is not a spectator but effectively a beneficiary of these demands on our farmers. If he doesn't approve of Woolworths' ethics, he can withdraw from the campaign, and refund his endorsement fee. In the last 12 months, the average vegetable grower has gone from making a small profit to making a loss. In the same 12 months, Mr Oliver's wealth rose by an estimated £90 million. Now we know how."[36][37][38]

Charity and campaigning[edit]

Oliver conceived and established the Fifteen charity restaurant, where he trained disadvantaged young people to work in the hospitality industry. Following the success of the original restaurant in London, more Fifteens have opened around the globe: Fifteen Amsterdam opened in December 2004, Fifteen Cornwall in Newquay in May 2006 andFifteen Melbourne in September 2006 with Australian friend and fellow chef Tobie Puttock.[39] Fifteen Melbourne has since closed.[40][citation needed]

Oliver began a formal campaign to ban unhealthy food in British schools and to get children eating nutritious food instead. Oliver's efforts to bring radical change to the school meals system, chronicled in the series Jamie's School Dinners, challenged the junk-food culture by showing schools they could serve healthy, cost-efficient meals that kids enjoyed eating.[41] His efforts brought the subject of school dinners to the political forefront and changed the types of food served in schools.[42]

Oliver's Ministry of Food campaign began in 2008 with the Channel 4 series of the same name and the opening of the first Ministry of Food Centre in Rotherham. More MoF Centres have since opened in Bradford, Leeds, Newcastle/North-East, Stratford (now known as Food Academy) and Alnwick. Ministry of Food Centres and trucks have opened in Australia in Ipswich, near Brisbane and Geelong, Melbourne. State governments in Australia provided valuable funding for these Centres.[citation needed]

In December 2009, Oliver was awarded the 2010 TED Prize for his campaigns to "create change on both the individual and governmental levels" to "bring attention to the changes that the English, and now Americans, need to make in their lifestyles and diet."[14] In 2010, he joined several other celebrity chefs on the series The Big Fish Fight, in which Oliver and fellow chefs Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Gordon Ramsay made a variety of programmes [lease clarify" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedialease_clarify">clarification needed] to raise awareness about the discarding of hundreds of thousands of saltwater fish because the fishermen are prohibited from keeping any fish other than the stated target of the trawl.[43] He is a patron of environmental charity Trees for Cities.[44]

Oliver's net worth was estimated in 2014 at £240 million.[45]

Awards and honours[edit]

In June 2003, Oliver was awarded the MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.[46] A proponent of fresh organic foods, Oliver was named the most influential person in the UK hospitality industry when he topped the inaugural Caterersearch.com 100 in May 2005.[47]The list placed Oliver higher than Sir Francis Mackay, the then-chairman of the contract catering giant Compass Group, which Oliver had soundly criticised in Jamie's School Dinners. In 2006, Oliver dropped to second on the list behind fellow celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.[48] In July 2010, Oliver regained the top spot and was named as the most powerful and influential person in the UK hospitality industry once again.[49]

In 2013, Oliver was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal College of General Practitioners for his work in tackling childhood obesity by improving the nutritional value of school dinners.[50]

On 29 October 2015, Oliver was listed by UK-based company Richtopia at number 2 in the list of 100 Most Influential British Entrepreneurs.[51][52]

Personal life[edit]

In July 2000, Oliver married Juliette Norton.[53] They have five children: Poppy Honey Rosie (b. March 2002), Daisy Boo Pamela (b. April 2003), Petal Blossom Rainbow (b. April 2009), Buddy Bear Maurice (b. September 2010) and River Rocket Blue Dallas (b. August 2016). [54][55] The family lives in Clavering, Essex.

Oliver has severe dyslexia, and read his first novel (Catching Fire) in 2013, at the age of 38.[56]

In 2015 Oliver lost two stone in three months by getting enough sleep and diet he told The Times magazine.[57]

Television shows[edit]

Year Programme Description/Notes

Public awareness was raised and subsequently the British Government pledged to spend £280m on school dinners (spread over three years). Tony Blair acknowledged that this was a result of Oliver's campaign. Following the success of the campaign, Oliver was named "Most Inspiring Political Figure of 2005" in the Channel 4 Political Awards 2006.

根據路透社引述一名熟悉內情的消息人士報導,英國明星大廚奧利佛(Jamie Oliver)在英國的25家連鎖餐廳將被接管,這些餐廳的大約1,000名員工恐怕會因此失業。

消息人士說,奧利佛的連鎖餐廳經營不善,債權人為保護權益向法院聲請接管他在英國的連鎖餐廳,並預計在倫敦時間今天稍後,正式對外宣布。

根據英國「衛報」(The Guardian)報導,奧利佛的連鎖餐廳據了解將由英國會計事務所「畢馬威」(KPMG)處理接管事宜,至於被接管的餐廳包括23間傑米義大利餐廳(Jamie’s Italian outlets)與1間「15」餐廳(Jamie Oliver's Fifteen),以及1間巴貝克亞牛排館(Barbecoa)。

報導說,在奧利佛之前決定出售他的餐飲集團後,過去幾個月來一直積極尋求買主,但是並無合適買家。奧利佛的餐飲王國在休閒餐飲市場遭遇多家餐飲連鎖業者,例如, Carluccio’s、Byron Burger、與Gourmet Burger Kitchen的挑戰,加上選擇餐廳的店址不佳與經營不善,虧損連連。
