It is also believed that the "First channel" (Pervii Kanal) is close to obtaining the rights to show some of his television shows.

The Moscow restaurant "Jamie's Italian", is likely to be located on Strastnoy Boulevard and will be open by late spring or early summer next year. Jamie Oliver himself will arrive for the opening ceremony.

According to the a spokesman, after a successful opening for the Moscow restaurant, "Jamie's Italian" may consider opening a restaurant in St. Petersburg.
