Jamie Oliver's Two New American Television Shows

Jamie Oliver's a busy man. He has not one but rather two new shows cooking. Yes, it is the summer of 2009 and there are two new shows being talked about. If you are a bit confused, I don't blame you because I was, too. However, it is now my understanding that there are two destinctly different U.S. shows in the works ~~ Jamie's American Roadtrip which is slated to air this fall, 2009 and a second show about fighting obesity which is currently unnamed but is supposed to air in 2010.

Jamie's American Roadtrip is a new six-part show in which Jamie will be travelling and working in the United States. This show is a cooking and travel series with Jamie also looking at the social issues and the varied cultures of current day America. (Hence the Village People theme in the trailers for the show.)

Jamie's Reality Series however is the show that I first heard about in which he will bring a healthy makeover to an entire city and will travel to some of the unheathiest places in America to people find ways to improve their eating habits. He will address issues like city schools, workplaces, supermarkets, fast-food joints and, of course, whatever other avenues present themselves.

For now, this page is about both shows since there is very little information about the obesity one. Eventually, when more information is available, I will create a separate page for each of these shows.

"Many people think American food is just burgers, fries and huge portions. But there's so much more to the country and its food than that, so I want to get beyond the stereotypes and try the real taste of America." ~~ Jamie Oliver

Jamie's American Road Trip will be airing in the fall of 2009.

Jamie's Reality Television Show Is Currently Unnamed And Is Supposed To Air in 2010

Jamie's America Cookbook 

Jamie's new book will be a companion to the new show, Jamie's American Roadtrip.


"Jamie will try real American food and meet the most interesting cooks and producers that this vast country has to offer. His epic journey will take him to the heart of America: its people, culture, music and, most importantly, its food. Along the way Jamie will be getting his hands dirty - meeting hunters, cowboys, fishermen and local producers - as he finds out about the best (and strangest) ingredients on offer. He won't just be sampling, he'll be getting involved: entering a gumbo 'throw-down' in Louisiana, fishing in California and sampling bison in Montana as he joins life on a ranch. As well as being a visually stunning journey, "Jamie's America" is a practical cookbook, with each chapter focusing on the food and recipes of a different state. And the food will be as varied as the landscapes - from spicy Mexican in the desert to freshly caught Alaskan salmon. With 120 brand new recipes, and Jamie's diary narrative running alongside, this will be a celebratory cookbook of a country with a wide food heritage." ~~ Amazon
