British chef Jamie Oliver is teaming up with Ryan Seacrest’s production company and ABC network to debut a new television series, that will give “healthy makeovers” to an entire American city.  

 Oliver will travel to the unhealthiest places in America and find ways to use  nearby resources to improve local eating habits. 

 Jamie new series is inspired by his acclaimed school lunch project in the  U.K., where the chef set about to improve kids’ nutrition. 

The idea for the series struck a nerve with radio host/TV producer Seacrest:

 “Seacrest said he talked about school lunches during a segment on his  KISS FM morning radio show and was struck by the amount of  listener response. Then he heard Oliver was looking to bring his  public service campaign stateside. The resulting ABC show will not  only tackle a city’s schools, but workplaces and other avenues for  change.”

 The network has ordered six  hours of the project from Ryan Seacrest  Productions, and is expected to air in  2010.

 Are you looking forward for the new Brit’s tv series?  I am!
