Jamie Oliver has had some trouble convincing the Los Angeles Unified School District to let him snoop in its cafeterias, but a recent decision by the board to overhaul the food system, along with a statement from LAUSD officials praising Oliver’s efforts, shows the district at least has the sense to listen to what the British celebrity chef has to say.

Yotam Ottolenghi (that guy who annoyed everybody by saying even fish eaters can call themselves vegetarian) will be cooking a true vegetarian meal at the most ironic of restaurants in July.
