Jamie Oliver keen to make Little Chefs into Good Chefs

TV chef in talks to take over motorway food chain

Friday, 21 September 2007

Jamie Oliver is continuing his mission to make the (food) world a better place as he plans to snap up the Little Chef restaurant franchise.

After trying to improve kids' lunches in Jamie's School Dinners, the 32-year-old now wants to rejuvenate the troubled food chain for a new reality show.

‘It's a tempting proposition for a TV company,’ a source tells the Sun, ‘as you're dealing with one of Britain's best-loved brands.’

Jamie's chewing over the possibility of bidding £20 million for the roadside chain – which almost went bankrupt earlier this year.

His spokesman has confirmed that the dad-of-two's production company Fresh One ‘has held talks about buying the business.’
