Jamie's School Dinners

Finally got around to watching this show, while it was doing a marathon showing on the FoodTV channel here in Canada. Quite apart from the food (which is actually almost an overlooked element of the show - it is not a cooking show), this show is an excellent lesson in management. The lessons learned in dealing with peers, "employees" (the dinner ladies), and the kids is absolutely brilliant human nature stuff that everyone should watch and absorb. Very highly recommended.
