Throughout his career Uncle Roger AKA stand
up comedian Nigel Ng has made a career out of humiliating chefs and has had many victims…..the
first being on the 8th of July 2020, uploading a video to his youtube channel titled “Uncle
Roger disgusted by this Egg Fried Rice Video” it was basically a video roasting the BBC’s
tutorial on how to cook egg fried rice, the video since then has 37 million views
on youtube alone. This roasting of the BBC’s rice led to uncle roger collabing
with the presenter, AKA Auntie Hersha…. the following month Uncle Roger honed in on his
next target, this time, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Uploading a video titled “Uncle
Roger Hate Jamie Oliver Egg Fried Rice”. According to Uncle Roger he got most things wrong,
including but not limited to, using packet rice, the rice being too wet, using no garlic,using
olive oil, using chili jam, using a frying pan instead of a wok and just generally making
a shit egg fried rice. Causing uncle roger's ancestors to weep….but also cry with joy because
the video got 26 million views on youtube alone. “Finally, there is someone who can
literally roast the celebrity chef. Not just a random complaint, uncle
roger complaints were actual facts.” This would be the first entry of a one
way mission to shame Jamie Oliver for his cooking ability…..However Uncle Roger isn’t
the only person to have beef with Jamie….. Throughout his career Jamie’s managed to
capture the hearts of menopausing women and become incredibly successful doing so,
those cookbooks don’t sell themselves. But he’s also managed to acquire a huge
amount of haters. There are many reasons that go into people hating Jamie
Oliver, but there are four big factors; The first being his war on school dinners both
in the UK and US. He was becoming incredibly frustrated at the state of school meals and
obesity rates in children and decided to take action, which is a fair and noble cause. However
the execution didn’t go so well, with him getting turkey twizzlers banned in the UK, causing uproar
and breaking down in tears in America after he showed a bunch of kids how chicken nuggets
are made and was surprised they still wanted chicken nuggets. This event would even lead
to Jamie being mocked on a Southpark episode. The next factor was his role in the
hugely controversial sugar tax. The Sugar tax would make soft drink companies
who make products containing more than 5% sugar have to pay between 18p and 24p for
every liter they produce. Which saw nearly 50% of the sugar sweetened soft drinks market
reduce the level of sugar in their products. Jamie was instrumental in getting this tax
implemented, campaigning on the streets and talking to politicians. But the people of
Britain were furious with this decision. In Scotland he even proposed a 2-4-1 ban on pizzas,
which some argued would only really affect the poorest in society . It seemed like
he was on a rampage to ruin all food…. The third factor, In June 2008 Jamie launched a
restaurant chain called “Jamie’s Italian” which at its peak had 42 restaurants in the UK and
became franchised with branches all over the world. However in 2011, he gained controversy
due to it being revealed that the sauces used in the restaurants were from an industrial
park almost 400 miles away. Which wouldn’t be a problem if Jamie Oliver wasn’t such a
big advocate of cooking meals from scratch and using local produce. Not only that, the
finances of the company were crumbling and the food quality began rapidly declining in a lot
of the restaurants. Which ultimately led to 22 of 25 restaurants getting closed down by may 2019
and 1,000 jobs lost. Jamie’s other restaurants and overseas locations were franchises so
they were unaffected. In March 2022 Jamie revealed that he was pulling restaurants out
of Russia in response to the Ukraine conflict. Uncle Roger tweeted “If he wanted to hurt Russia,
he should’ve kept his restaurants there open”. The final major factor in people
generally disliking Jamie Oliver is because of a scandal in 2018 in which he
was accused of cultural appropriation for his microwavable jerk rice. He labeled the product
“punchy jerk rice” but found backlash because it literally didn’t include any of the ingredients
found in traditional Jamaican jerk marinade. This resulted in the product getting removed from
shelves and Jamie hiring cultural appropriation specialists to advise on future cookbooks.
This happens all the time in the cooking world, a chef will take a cuisine from around the
world and add their own whacky spin on it and just call it experimentation and include
it in their 5 minute meal cook books. For example both Jamie and Gordon Ramsay angered
spanish people by putting curitzo in paella. After Uncle Roger roasted Jamie’s egg fried rice
to pieces, he set his sights on Gordon Ramsay by analyzing and reacting to his Indonesian
inspired fried rice. However unlike Jamie, Gordon was actually very good at making fried
rice and was given compliments from Nigel…. One commenter underneath the video stated….
“People underestimate Gordon. They don’t realize that he traveled the world to master his craft. He
learned about cuisine around the world”. Another unknown commenter stated “Happy you approve roger”
But in the same breath, Gordon isn’t immune to getting the asian cuisine completely
wrong, during an episode of his tv show, gordon showed a head chef at a top thai
restaurant in London, his version of pad thai…. On the 31st of January 2021 Uncle Roger would
deliver his next analysis of Jamie Oliver’s asian cooking, this time seeming like he had learnt from
his mistakes using actual rice instead of packet rice but still mostly fucking up the sauce for
the fish. Despite Uncle Rogers reviews getting hundreds of millions of views across platforms
Jamie still didn’t acknowledge Uncle Roger…. This would lead to an uncle roger roasting
for the third time, this time watching him make ramen. As predicted, the methods,
technique and some of the ingredients were just plain wrong, most notably using
soba noodles when claiming to make ramen. “As a Japanese my soul is crushed.
He unnecessarily killed the miso, leaves pork belly unflavoured, puts on
raw bean sprouts, uses soba noodles and says it’s ramen. Jamie Oliver, you need
to come to Japan and eat REAL ramen.” Over the next 2 years Uncle Roger
cemented Jamie as his arch nemesis by creating five more roasting videos,
critiquing his green and red thai currys, butter chicken and even being held
hostage to review his Indonesian salad. During this period Uncle Roger met Gordon
Ramsay in real life for the first time… In the caption of the video Uncle Roger stated
that they bitched about Jamie Oliver for 15 minutes when meeting. Which kinda makes
sense, you see Gordon and Jamie Oliver have had a complex relationship for over
a decade, publicly trading barbs at each other. In 2015 while opening a restaurant in
Hong Kong Ramsay stated “At least I’m here, I came to my opening right? If you’re
going to open a restaurant in Hong Kong, at least turn up.” Jamie defends not turning
up to restaurant openings as he doesn’t like to take the attention away from staff. In 2017
Ramsay criticized Jamie's promotion of healthy eating stating “It;s all very well to spout off
now about sugar tax and supermarkets. None of that was spoken about when he was label-slapping
with Sainsbury’s for ten years. And no disrespect, but we’re chefs, not politicians. When you breathe
that stuff down the public's throat and say “I’m leaving if we have Brexit, then I’m sorry, the
door stands open. Stand for what you say. Sadly, the only time he opens his mouth is
when he’s got something to promote.” Despite this the two supposedly squashed the beef
in 2019 when Gordon appeared on the Jonathan Ross show and talked about the fall of Jamie’s
restaurant empire, offering his sympathies. Jamie has been targeted throughout Uncle
Rogers catalog of videos however in January 2024 Uncle roger took things to the next
level uploaded a video reacting to Jamie Oliver’s lamb curry song with world famous
music producer benny blanco. The Lamb curry song AKA Give it to me hot was a lyrical
version of a recipe that just sounded like a white guy with pukka shells heard reggae
music once and tried to make a song. It was written to be part of Jamie’s live cooking
shows, where essentially he would cook the dish as the song lyrics were playing.
It’s all quite perplexing really, one, the fact that at one point in time people would
pay money to watch this, two, he made a reggae song and three he made a reggae song for a lamb
curry that isn’t even a Jamaican lamb curry… The following week Uncle Roger created a
Jamie Oliver diss track with the help of Benny blanco with all proceeds going to
the food charity that Jamie works with… To this day Jamie has never acknowledged uncle
roger, which is fine obviously, not everyone has to be involved in internet theatrics but it does
unfortunately lead people to believe that he’s taking it personally or doesn’t see the funny
side to it maybe. Which again doesn’t help his public persona to people outside of unseasoned
food lovers and menopausing women category…. Thank you so much for watching this video, I
