Fifteen (restaurant)

Fifteen is a restaurant in London, owned and run by the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. He created the restaurant as part of a 2002 TV series, Jamie's Kitchen, broadcast on Channel 4. Jamie Oliver recruited fifteen unemployed young people, some homeless and others with learning difficulties, and trained them from scratch to become professional-standard chefs. This continued after the TV series finished, and the restaurant has become a resounding success. Many of its graduates have moved on to other top restaurants in London.
