Ryan Seacrest joins Jamie Oliver in Huntington

“We want to start here and continue to work around the country to help with the young people and their families,” Seacrest said. “I want to meet the moms of the town, meet the students, and I want to see the schools.”

Ryan arrived in Huntington, where filming is underway on the new Ryan Seacrest Productions series with Jamie Oliver. Jamie has been filming for a few weeks, and HuntingtonNews.net has a report from the point of view of a participant:

“There were long tables with cooking stations set up [in the street], a little gas, a Wouk and stir fry. They brought the food to us, the recipe and he told us what to do.”

Asked about the motives of Chef Oliver, which have been questioned, Wilson explained that after having worked at Central Elementary with his crew, she knows he has the Tri-State’s best interest at heart. She’s not sure what Ryan Seacrest (the production company) will do to Jamie’s final product.

“Some of them say, I don’t like it, but teachers in the lunch room tell them to try it. I don’t know the percentage, but I’ve walked by and [some] of the plates are clean,” Wilson explained.
