Robert Irvine's Back in a New Season of Dinner: Impossible
In 2008, Food Network chef and host Robert Irvine sure had a roller coaster of a year. And his ride's not over quite yet: He's back and ready to return to the set of Dinner: Impossible.
According to the network, in the newest season of D:I, which premieres April 8, Irvine faces some of his most unique predicaments thus far.
Biggest Headline of 2008: The Fall and Return of Robert Irvine
For Food Network star Robert Irvine, 2008 was dicier and more stressful than completing any challenge on Dinner: Impossible.
In February, news surfaced that the show's host had embellished his résumé. Many of Irvine's claims — that he was a KCVO Knight, awarded a castle by the Queen of England, attended the University of Leeds, and helped make the wedding cake for Prince Charles and Princess Diana — turned out to be made up.
Robert Irvine to Return to Dinner: Impossible
Last February, everyone was shocked to find out that Robert Irvine, the star of the Food Network show Dinner: Impossible, lied on his résumé. Although most of you said the incident didn't change your feelings about him, Irvine still got the boot from the Food Network and was subsequently replaced by Iron Chef Michael Symon.
Today I'm excited to have heard news of what I thought to be near-impossible: Irvine will be returning to host the show again.
