Restaurant Impossible is entertaining. Some people say it's like Kitchen Nightmares, in some ways true but it's a different show based on the depths it goes. Chef Ramsey in Kitchen Nightmares checks the food/menu and fixes it. In Restaurant Impossible, the story is the process of fixing it. You got Tom the building and your designers and you see Robert going through the process of saving the restaurant. I figure much of that is prolly due to the Food Network/HGTV relationship too. There have been great characters, Cheryl is a hottie. Tom is awesome. Robert is amazing. You can tell he enjoys food. It's fun, feel good moments. He's into it, and into helping people. Kitchen Nightmares is good too. But RI is more in depth.

I like this show a little bit better than Gordon Ramsay show Kitchen Nightmares. Robert Irvine has a nice British charm to him but he can definitely throw down in a kitchen, a very large kitchen! Then watching the show for years until my cable got too expensive and I had to give it the old heave-ho. Just wanted to let everybody know that this show is so awesome I'm looking for some sites where I can either download some episodes or watch because it's just that entertaining and informative. Peace OUT! ✌😁

Robert brings his distinct and powerful message to the proprietors of failing resturants that he masterfully conveys with a bit of charm and a lot of heart. One the few network shows I will endure the commercials for the pleasure and inevitable tears of the big reveal. He's an exemplary professional with a fresh approach to reality at its best.
