Modern antique gastronomy
Apparently, the mind of Jamie Oliver, Britain’s most famous (and rich) chef, is never at rest. The guy is constantly dreaming up new and successful ideas.
His latest creation is a deeply British and deeply retro restaurant chain called Union Jacks with a pleasant vintage flare: old mismatched Formica chairs and tables, vintage tellies, a Fifties washed-out pastels color palette and a retro cinema-board menu.
And there’s no denying that the result looks awfuly cozy and welcoming.Of course, the menu features more than a revisited British classic. What makes us preliminary skeptical, though, is the house specialty:Â flats, the British and jamie-oliver-an version of pizza.
Yet, blasphemous as the idea of British pizza might sound to an Italian ear, we still owe young Oliver some faith – and besides his partner in crime is no less than Chris Bianco, America’s most beloved pizza maker. Definitely worth trying!
