I have always enjoyed cooking and trying to come up with a great meal with little ingredients to work with. When I first saw Robert Irvine's Dinner Impossible I was interested in seeing something along the lines of what I have been through.

Critical Review
Irvine is so irritating to watch he ruins a fun premise

Dinner Impossible could be a fun show if it weren't for its star chef Robert Irvine.  The premise of the show is to give Irvine incredibly hard cooking challenges and short time limits and see if he can complete his goal in time.  Some challenges have been things like replicating an authentic colonial...

 I've watched several episodes of Dinner Impossible on Food-Network and I must agree with the general consensus.  The show has a great pretense, but, the host is just too much.  I, too, expected a little something different when I first saw the show.  Yes, some of the challenges are interesting and the idea of the show is a winner.  Chef Irvine takes all the fun out of it with his overbearing, self centered antics and the abuse of his "volunteer" staff.  Besides, how "impossible" can it be with food, pans, money and staff available to help you?  He is what makes "dinner" impossible.

once in a rare while, yes, irvine can be a little annoying. however, overall hes a cool guy who knows how to get things done. He's been in the military and run kitchens before and knows that you can't always be the 'nice guy' to get the deadline met on time. Kudos to him honestly for all hes done and the cool things he has come up with.

I love to watch the Food Network.  Dinner Impossible is not my favorite show, however it seems to be the most unique.  It is not like the other shows where you watch to learn to cook and are invited into the lives of the Food Network chefs, it is more like a reality program.  The host is Robert Irvine and he is giving unique challenges to pull ingredients together to host a fantastic meal.  Some of his challenges have been being stranded on a desert island, or feeding the entire population of the staff at the Mall of America's.  I like watching him try to control from cracking under the pressure... review »

I am probably one of the few people that enjoy watching Dinner: Impossible. Robert Irvine my seem rude, arrogant, and self-centered... but, anyone on a time schedule that has to cook a huge meal would be a little on edge. I enjoy seeing everyone go to their breaking point- only for it to calm down once everything is done and completed! Also, there are some episodes that bring tears to your eyes- such as Irvine cooking for the military men about to be sent overseas. That's just tear jerker all in itself!

The idea for this show is so different and interesting. It's neat to see the challenges that he gets and how he gets them done, and it's always shocking if he doesn't get a challenge completed. I'm always sad to see if the episode is going to be a repeat!

I think Dinner Impossible is a good type of reality show.  It was fun to watch and see what he could come up with in a short amount of time.  I am not sure that he was the best man for the job, but he put a lot of hard work into the challenge. 

I guess we are getting a new host for the show and I have not seen that one yet.  I like the idea, more than the person, so it will be fun to watch future episodes.  I think it will also give me ideas for doing potlucks or dinners at the last minute as well!

i like to watch the food network and do so every day i don't watch dinner impossible every day but do watch it when i can. Ithink it is a great show and enjoy it very much i like to see Robert Ivine take on the challenges of making a differnt meal in different places and not getting much time to do it,and having to feed several some time a few hundred people at a time.I myself have never seen hime fail but i am sure he has once or twice.I find it to be a very good show and will keep watching it when ever possible

Okay so I admit I am addicted to cooking shows...and while my favorite (for being most informative and fun) is Alton Brown's Good Eats I LOVE Robert Irvine. I mean come on he is buff and very good looking and good chef...I like most of what he puts together and he is really resourceful...so if you are looking to kill 30 minutes on a Wednesday night (or if youre like me and Tivo it) the watch food network and see if Robert can overcome another challange.

Dinner Impossible is a very good show, I enjoy watching it very much.. I agree Robert Irvine can seem a little rude and impossible sometime. But that is what makes the show the show it is.. It is pretty cool the way the challenges vary from a ice hotel, to a pastry shop, to feeding soldiers and many other things.. It is not like every other cooking show out there, the writers and producers came up with a different, unique show that is fun to watch...
