Yeah, I get that. Jamie Oliver restaurants are usually more about the experience than the mind-blowing food. The ambiance, the whole shebang.

Apparently, the school had to replace the upholstery. I always figured those stories were exaggerated for comedic effect, but… this pumpkin pie thing? It's making me rethink everything. Senior pranks are getting out of hand!
