Chef Irvine,
You are without a doubt my hero. After watching every episode of restaurant impossible and looking for re-runs of dinner impossible, there is no other person on this planet who I envy more. You are an amazing chef, are meticulous with details making sure everything is perfect, and care more about everyone around you then yourself. I hope you continue making shows for a long long time and best wishes to you and your new wife.
Hi Chef Robert,
I love the way you react to people and show your love for people. I am a 64 year old guy really like the Food network. Your show is the greatest. Ido have one question for you. How in the devil do you clean stainless steel appliances??? Have a great life with your bride…
I don’t normally watch a lot of the cooinkg shows. So to be honest, I didn’t know who Chef Irvine was until I came across Restaurant Impossible. I started to watch one episode and became hooked on the concept. Since then, I’ve gained an appreciation of his cooinkg skills and design concepts, as well as his compassion to clean up some horrible messes! I enjoy watching this show and will continue to do so, even the reruns. Continued success with all endeavors and perhaps, one day, I’ll be able to come to your restaurant! Thank you!.
Chef Irvine Iwach your show all the time. I live in the state of New Mexico! I was wondering if you know the diffence in new mexico food and mexican food? and does the restaurants you visit have state inspections they are so dirty! New Mexico has inspections all the time we call it red / green red is falled and green is passed and it on tv ever week! There is a diffence Thank You for listening
Waiting for the new RI episodes to start up again on 4/25!
Will you be writing your autobiography in the near future, Chef Irvine?
Hope so!

I LOVE Restaurant Impossible! One of the things that I apaircepte about it is the fact that Chef Robert does not do a lot of cursing. He truly seems to care about the people he is helping and it shows. And I LOVED the blonde hair after he lost the bet with Chef Anne on Worst Cooks!! I also apaircepte the fact that I did not have to join any memberships in order to post a comment on your website! Thank you. Keep up the great work Chef!

I love your shows, and they have inspired me to TRY my hand at learning how to cook. I am thinking of attending the Le Cordon Bule school here in Dallas. For a 1 year course I would recieve a certificate. Would this be a good idea, or would you recommend a different school. Eventually I would like to become as knowledgeable as you and would like to be refered to as “Chef”, but I know this takes time and possibly a degree. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks much.

where can i get your recipe for prime ribon the show for prime rib and spaghetti house
Chef Robert!! I want to thank you for your efforts in encouraging and enhancing the restaurant and food business and bringing it up another level. However, if you come to Branson, Missouri, you will find a WHOLE TOWN of mediocre establishments “claiming” to be restaurants! Branson is falling into the “has-been” criteria, since most of the town is built on the fame of entertainers who were most popular 30 years ago! Some of the Chain Restaurants aren’t really any better than the greasy-spoons run by the locals.
My PLEA is, if you get a letter from ANY restaurant in Branson, Please, please, please help them! BTW–we DO have a Tanger Mall…with an A&W in it!!! No other restaurants in the Mall. I believe that could be a big selling point for the outlet mall.
But what do I know???
Best wishes for a beautiful Trip around the Sun!
Always a FAN!!
Robert,
“Restaurant Impossibe” is the greatest. Do you have a recipe book of ” A la minute ” recipes that you do on the “Restaurant Impossibe” program?
You can always find recipes from the show at The Restaurant: Impossible Food Network Page, or on the Recipes page on this site. We can’t guarantee their being “A la minute.” Unless you’re really fast!
Chef Robert I know you must hear this all the time but truely from the bototm of my heart I think you are the greatest chef ever.I do believe you should have been the next Iron chef. I felt there were more agregious mistakes made by others or by simply NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES . I live in Massachusetts and I am saving to go to your restaurant Eat and I know it will be the most wonderful thing I have ever eaten. I follow you on TV as well as facebook. the world is a better place with you in it. sincerly Debby

I love watching your shows. I believe everyone should be honored for your help and honesty! Critisism is a must nor to improve in a great buisness! I would welcome it just to know that I would acheive what I needed to have a great respected resturant person!
Thank You…. Donna
I’m glad Chef Irvine is not the next Iron Chef. He has far more to offer to American Culture than that! His talents shown in the Restaurant Impossible episodes the past season involving the homeless shelter in Newark, New Jersey and the Culinary Arts program at a high school is the direction I’d like to see the show take. So many mismanaged restaurants looking for a free face lift have often reverted right back to their old habits. His time and resources are needed for far more deserving ventures. I wish you and your production team much success! Keep ON Keeping On!
