Shit iam not young
Cheeky Chops

Jamie Oliver had long been thinking about helping unemployed young people by offering them a leg-up into the world of catering. 'Having not been the brightest banana in the bunch myself, I realised that my biggest weapon in life was the determination, enthusiasm, hands-on and "actions speak louder than words" approach my father taught me, and I wanted to get this across to others, especially those interested in food.' Jamie's ideas got whittled down to one main one: 'to train a team of unemployed kids with an interest and passion for food and to open a new first-class restaurant in London to be run by them.' And so, the charity Cheeky Chops was born.
