The reason is yes, Brexit uncertainty related - When the company shuttered 6 of Jamie’s Italian restaurants in early 2017, it said it had been hit by the Brexit vote and the resulting depreciation of the British pound—importing ingredients became more expensive.

Thanks for playing.

At least they didn’t blame the closing on Climate Change.

I like him. I like his food. I'm sorry this has happened to him. But no one wants to hear the political views of a guy who didn't read his first book until he was 38. It wears thin. Just shut up and sing. Or cook. Or whatever it is you do.

From Wiki:

In July 2000, Oliver married Juliette Norton.[73] 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).[74]

Oliver has severe dyslexia, and read his first novel (Catching Fire) in 2013, at the age of 38.[75]

That's not what they're saying in England. Jamie's restaurants are part of a trend where takeaways and deliveries are way up and in house visits are way down. At least 3 other chains have gone into administration this year.

As for Jamie, it was a holding company that went bankrupt. He is still quite well off and he protected his personal assets. He will do just fine.

I always called him “Dirty Fingernails”.

In 2017 I went to a very nice Jamie restaurant, Barbacoa, on Piccadilly, a gorgeous two story place. It was a shock to see it was gone in 2018 when I walked down that street again.

Sad to see his comments about President Trump but there, they get all negative “news” about the President.

Remember when Oliver got very testy with a female reporter for daring to mention the obvious... that he had gained a good bit of weight.

“...1300 jobs at risk?” At risk of what? There is no more “risk” They have no more jobs to “risk.” Liberalspeak can be child-like.

a chain of Italian restaurants in the UK?

sounds like a risky investment to me.. you know how finicky some Brits are .. if it ain’t cold and bland, it ain’t overcooked enough.
