The network has licensed the first season of <strong><em>Jamie\u2019s American Road Trip <\/em><\/strong>(6 x 60\u2019) and three seasons of <strong><em>Jamie &amp; Jimmy\u2019s Food Fight Club <\/em><\/strong>(16 x 60\u2019) from FremantleMedia International. The deal also includes the documentary <strong><em>Alinea in Residence Madrid <\/em><\/strong>(1 x 60\u2019). All three titles will air on the linear network as well as on JOURNY, Ovation\u2019s AVOD travel channel. The announcement was made today by Scott Woodward, EVP Programming, Ovation and Caroline Kusser, SVP, Sales &amp; Distribution for FremantleMedia International, North America.<\/p>\n<p>On <strong><em>Jamie\u2019s American Road Trip<\/em><\/strong>, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver delves into the underbelly of American society to uncover fascinating personal stories, try real American food and meet the most interesting but unsung chefs and food producers the country has to offer. The epic journey takes Jamie to the heart of America: its people, culture, music and most importantly, its food.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Jamie &amp; Jimmy\u2019s Food Fight Club<\/em><\/strong> is based in the Southend, Essex, UK caf\u00e9 of childhood friends Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty. While Jamie cooks up his ultimate weekend recipes, Jimmy heads outdoors and rustles up magnificent feasts from wild ingredients. The boys are joined by a host of celebrity friends&#8211;such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Michael Sheen&#8211;who pop in to learn how to cook the dishes they\u2019ve always loved. The boys also hit the road, spreading the word about exciting new food campaigns&#8211;including delicious mussels, happy milk and the tastiest sustainable fish in our seas.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Alinea in Residence Madrid <\/em><\/strong>follows renowned chef Grant Achatz as he heads to Madrid with his team to create Alinea in Madrid, a replica of his Michelin three-star restaurant in Chicago. After ten years of being open to the public, the famed Chicago restaurant temporarily closes its doors to reinvent itself and begin a new phase. Achatz has always considered Spanish cuisine a great source of inspiration and so he decides to fly his crew out to Spain to create a unique venture. A world leader in gastronomy, the creative chef will serve some of his iconic creations for the last time while collating new and bold creations to take back to his re-opened restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe culinary arts, including foraging and gastronomy, make for a fitting and tasteful addition to the Ovation family,\u201d said Woodward. \u201cJamie Oliver, Jimmy Doherty and Grant Achatz are all at the top of their game and we are confident they will take Ovation\u2019s viewers on a first-class culinary adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caroline Kusser, SVP, Sales &amp; Distribution for FremantleMedia International, North America said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be bringing these varied culinary titles to US audiences with Ovation and JOURNY.
