Robert Irvine is best known to Food Network audiences as the host of Restaurant: Impossible, which he hosted for 22 seasons.
The series ended its run in 2023, but the network is rebooting the franchise as Restaurant Impossible: Last Call with chef Aarón Sánchez and Canadian restaurateur Jen Agg.
With the new series set to premiere July 23, many fans have asked Irvine for his take, and he took to social media to clarify that he has no beef with the network or new production.
“Folks and friends I have to tell you I do miss the [Restaurant: Impossible] show and my amazing team but Food Network has chosen a different route from the show that I built and made into a worldwide brand,” Irvine shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter.
He continued, “I wish them luck and it’s life folks .. there is no anger seriously, I’m busy helping so many folks … [love] you all.”
Restaurant: Impossible originally premiered on Food Network in 2011. The show helped struggling families with their restaurants, with Irvine coming in to advise on ways to improve their businesses and make them profitable. Irvine also had a team that gave the establishment a makeover to freshen up the place and streamline the workflow. In 2023, the show ended its run after 22 seasons, with Irvine saying the show was not what the network believed “fit into who or what they want or the younger viewers like.”
Restaurant Impossible: Last Call is set to premiere on Thursday, July 23, at 8 p.m. PT with chef Aarón Sánchez and Canadian restaurateur Jen Agg leading the charge to rescue struggling restaurants across North America. Their goal is not to formulate quick fixes; they will dig into real problems, adapt to a new and challenging restaurant industry, and find creative, unexpected solutions tailored to each business.
