ABC announced yesterday (Sept. 2) that Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution will return for a second season, this time taking place in Los Angeles. ABC tells Slashfood that the six-episode season is projected to air sometime in Spring 2011, but that's still to be confirmed.
The series recently won the Emmy for "Outstanding Reality Program" -- Oliver challenged young residents of Huntington, West Virginia, to alter their lifestyles in hopes of curbing obesity, heart disease and diabetes. The first season debuted on March 21, 2010, and the series averaged around 4 million viewers per week.
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution is loosely adapted from his British series Jamie's Ministry of Food and Jamie's School Dinners, which challenged the British school systems to change how they fed students. A second season renewal in the U.S. is clearly a coup for Oliver: As U.S. audiences become more familiar with "The Naked Chef," he stands to surge ahead in popularity over the prickly British "hell" chef Gordon Ramsey. Instead of yelling at people, Oliver chooses an inspiring and tactful approach, hoping to help others grow. Revolutionary, indeed.
For those who can't get enough of Oliver, he's releasing his latest cookbook Jamie's America: Easy Twists on Great American Classics and More! (Hyperion) this October.

Not long ago, I saw Chef Ramsey being asked when was the last time he had been served a truly bad meal meal in a restaurant. "The last time I dined at Jamie Oliver's restaurant" he answered. Ah, had he only been with me the last time I dined at one of Gordon's places...he would have had the ignominy of being served a meal which should not have been paid for. Nor even served on an airline. Not even a domestic, short haul, regional carrier. Not even in the terminal. Hell, not even in Jamie Oliver's place, Gordon.
