Robert Irvine Fired from Dinner Impossible

by

robertI.jpgDinner Impossible host Robert Irvine will not be coming back next season. According to several sources the host is guilty of something that almost everyone has done, but on a much grander scale. He padded his resume. Reports state that he told the food network executives that he has cooked for the royal family, as well as four US Presidents while they were in the White House. Here it is several years later, and the folks that gave him the job, based on those facts, have found out that they are not true. Perhaps the most outrageous of the lies is that he designed Princess Diana’s wedding cake.

Dinner: Impossible, for those of you who are not familiar, is one of those new reality type shows that are becoming so darn popular on the food network these days. Chef Robert Irvine is dropped into a strange situation wherein he is required to make a themed meal for upwards of 200 people in less than a day. He has to do everything from finding equipment, to ingredients before he is even able to start cooking. The food he makes looks tasty and I am continoously amazed at how well he is able to adapt the menu to everyone’s needs.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of Dinner Impossible, and loved the episode at the NY Circus. I really like the show in general, and kind of hope that the Food Network changes their mind, but when it comes down to it, he shouldn’t have lied. Especially about things that are so easily verifiable… Food Network has stated that they may review their decision at the end of the season, which he is being allowed to finish, but that for now they are looking for a replacement host.

    OH PLEASE!!!! With all the political cheating, lying etc., going on and NOT being punished but over looked how can you make such a big deal out of this situation. Not that its ok that he lied about his credentials but there are so many bigger issues. We are talking about entertainment, no life altering issues.
