Chef Impossible

I like watching the Food Network on occasion and I enjoy the show Dinner Impossible with Chef Robert Irvine. It seems, however, that Irvine’s claims of having cooked for the Royal Family and a bunch of other things (like being a knight) aren’t true. Too bad, because I like his show. But after reading this article he sounds like the Vanilla Ice of chefs.  Vanilla Ice claimed to be a professional race car driver and a host of other things when he started out. This was pre-internet, but the media investigated his claims and found them wanting. These days it’s crazy to make claims you can’t prove. Anyone with an internet connection can research you from where they’re sitting.

Irvine seems to be a great cook on his show, but I doubt the Food Network will let him get away with this. 

1. Two words: Anthony Bourdain

2. Did that happen with Bourdain? I like his show when I see it on occasion.

   I remember he used to be on the Food Network then ended up on the Travel Channel or something.

3. Bourdain never really fit into the Food Network mold...yes, he’s now on the Travel Channel but that doesn’t stop Food Network from re-running his old show, A Cook’s Tour from time to time.

   I’m a big fan of his.
