TV chef says W.Va. show won't insult residents
by The Associated Press
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has only been in Huntington for a day, but he's already encountered one of the delicacies that's helped earn the town the designation of America's unhealthiest city -- a 15'' frankfurter from local favorite Hillbilly Hotdogs.
"It tasted great,'' he said.
Oliver is filming a reality TV show for ABC in Huntington this fall because of the city's reputation as the fattest metropolitan area in the country. He's hoping to replicate some of the programs he helped launch in his native Britain, designed to improve the quality of food kids get at school and people make at home.
But he isn't in town to insult its residents or crusade against beloved comfort foods.
