For all you Food Network fans this post is for you. In 2007, before the binging of Beat Bobby Flay, Diner's Drive's-Ins and Dives, and Chopped there was another show a different kind of show. It had the intense challenges yet the show of flavors, technique, and a chef flare...the name was Dinner Impossible with Chef Robert Irvine. Actually, there's two episodes that feature Guy from Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives since these two gentlemen know each other, and it's entertaining.
So the point of the show is that he takes on these incredible culinary challenges that have sometimes some interestingly twisty obstacles mixed in and/or that are part of the overall challenge altogether. Then he dives in with his expertise and his trusty sous chef companions (usually a George and David) but you'll see the two or one additional chef's he has with him are just as critical to the success of the challenge. This show explores the talent of a chef, their technique, skills, culinary abilities on the go, and overall just entertaining. I still binge on this show and watch the re-runs when they're on somewhere. I am happy to say though (especially for any of you who were fans of this show prior to it's break and their exploration to Restaurant Impossible with Robert Irvine) that it seems as they Dinner Impossible will be returning to our viewing pleasure this March! I'm excited to see what new culinary challenges will be ahead for the team. Here is the article (directly from the Food Network website) for your read: https://www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/shows/robert-irvine-dinner-impossible
For those of you who used to see the Hell's Kitchen TV Series (debuted back in 2005)-I have to admit I couldn't get behind that show and staying glued enough to not only see all 21 seasons compared to that of Dinner Impossible with 10 seasons; I preferred how Robert Irvine was and how the show was presented overall. Some would say you really can't compare because Robert is international and Gordon is United States focused, however I feel you lightly slightly be able to because Robert is just as critical in his critiquing style as Gordon, which is demonstrated in Restaurant Impossible. Although Robert is a romantic at heart (the big British muscle) whereas Gordon can seem to be just an a-hole. Just some fruits for thought...meanwhile if you're looking for something new to watch or just simply love to watch cooking-like TV shows, this one is for you. Here is a trailer video for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdfqVhzUeTM :) So if you're a newbie to this show let me know what you think!
If you don't recall or perhaps never saw the show and want to view it, it's available to stream online through most streaming platforms but I do know from personal experience and my viewing pleasure its on the simple subscription of: discovery and FuboTV. Now with premium subscriptions you can view it on: Hulu, YoutubeTV, and SlingTV.
It's also amazing to see all that he's done, accomplished and continued to do; check for yourself. http://www.chefirvine.com/
