Video: McDonald's No Longer Using 'Pink Slime' in Burgers

Patra's Burgers Gets a Healthy Makeover on 'Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution'

In his reality show Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, English celebrity chef and media personality Jamie Oliver aims to bring awareness about healthy eating, where food comes from, and diet-related disease to Americans. (He's done the same in the UK with his shows Jamie's School Dinners and Jamie's Ministry of Food.) The first season took place in Huntington, West Virginia; in the second season, he's in Los Angeles, attempting to bring his food revolution to the public school system and—closer to the heart of this blog—reinvent a family-own fast food joint. It's not breaking news that burger joint Patra's got a healthy makeover in the show—Oliver manned the grills at Patra's back in February—but the season is still going (now on episode four since it started airing in April), and if you haven't started watching the show yet, it's worth checking out.
