Stripping the Naked Chef

Reports the Australian: "Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is eating humble pie following revelations he did a secret deal with food giant Heinz that resulted in his restaurant serving jazzed-up beans on toast... Oliver says Heinz paid him £15,000 "to put something cool made with baked beans on the menu"... which involved beans with cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, rocket and basil, served on bruschetta... the invention of one of his students." Oliver claims he did not know that Heinz would dispatch "people dressed up in bean suits" to his restaurant, Fifteen. "Next thing I know we've got giant baked beans running across the restaurant..'. It was quite surreal. I should have been brighter. Baked beans have absolutely no place in any restaurant with integrity."
