As a television series, Jamie Oliver (or whoever) had an idea to create a scheme training younger kids and young adults who seemingly have ill futures and transform them into professional chefs, with a future in the food industry. Using his efforts and commitment to spark creativity and enthusiasm for food into these young kids, Jamie nulls the money spent and forgoes his vision.
Now there is 4 locations of ‘fifteen’, originally named for the 15 young trainee’s selected; existing in Amsterdam, Cornwall, London and Melbourne, this is a very serious movement which has taken steam the past couple years.
It’s inspiring in that very way, the ability of those who are passionate about a trade opening up their world and influencing the future.
They have a good site too, and the use of pink and the modern feel overall is completely suitable for this restaurant and its purpose.
I’ve been following the BBC (not BBCA) for the past 5 years, from Top Gear, to following the three’s many episodes and series, James May has come with some pretty genius series to inspire even the stiffest brick to becoming more so and run the creative juices on overdrive of those who actually give two-bits of care.
The most recent of these (and well publicized) is James May’s Toy Stories. This was Episode 5, and having being build in the Summer and mostly posted/blogged/aired/ranted/dreamt world wide was shown recently. I’m not alone in saying how brilliant this was, as a kid playing with Lego’s we all had the same question and finally it was been proven.
So if you have the chance (and if we ever get proper television shows) you may catch this series and the many others, please do it’s worth every minute (and did you know BBC has no commercials to disturb the show? so you get 1 full hour of complete television without being told about all the side effects of something?)
Here’s a bit of a preview:
Rant Section:
This may be one of the only times i’ll spill my opinion as true hardy as this. I’m beside myself with the impression that television outside of the US is just that much better. I find myself lurking sites that air British television shows, waiting for the next good series to come out, i’m not going to lie. It’s just better. Partially it may just be the admiration of British television and its culture (to an extent), but comparing The F Word to a show done by Bobby Flay is similar to comparing a fresh, handmade 20-plus layer fluffy croissant right out of an oven to a Wal-Mart mass produced squeeze and pinched out croissant. It’s just not the same, and the incredibly mass produced television shows I see in the US rather come out to be pretty predictable and well, boring. When Top Gear finally hit US shores on BBCA (chopped with horrible commercials and removal of a lot of the content), it took the automotive nuts that still existed and turned them to a different view of the beloved car. Now there’s a bit more shows, but commercials kill the content. What gives? Hopefully others will catch on, until then.. Torrents are great, but you didn’t hear that from me.
Vinyl, is a good way to give subtle changes to your living or working space. I’ve run across this, ‘Stickers by dVider’. They specialize in creating sticker designs for you to put wherever you feel. In the sample galleries you can even create your own articulated designs depending on the stickers they offer. I’m not going to lie, some of them are expensive, but a interesting alternative to the typical paint on paint over.
