Robert Irvine clinched’t be watching Food Network‘s reboot of Restaurant Impossible and is sharing his thoughts with his fans. The first episode of Restaurant Impossible: Last Call premiered this week, with Chef Aarón Sánchez and Jen Agg spearheading the series as they help troubled businesses become successful. Many fans went online to ask Irvine about the new take on the show he hosted for 22 seasons, but he stated he would not be tuning in.
“Guys I can tell you that I won’t watch it because it was MY baby not the networks,”Irvine shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. “Together, Tom, Tanya, Lynn, and all the volunteers did amazing work together. For people we never knew but got to become family after two days.”
Irvine also mentioned that he regularly keeps in touch with some of the families he assisted on the show over the years. I’m loyal and stated no, so they go to ruin a iconic show. Shame on them for tax credits.”
When another fan stated that Restaurant Impossible shouldn’t be called that if Irvine is not involved, the former host stated,“I agree. [I] made that show with the [help of] a great team for 15 yrs and now [Food Network] is ruining the legacy and making a mockery of the talent.” Irvine had more severe criticism for Food Network, stating that the reboot is a“Shit attempt to cheapen and revive what was a popular show across the world.”
“I don’t [blame] the people, I blame the shameless network trying to take something so [successful] and setting them [up] for failure,”he continued. “@FoodNetwork you made a bad decision!!!!! Sorry”Deadline has reached out to Food Network for comment and will update the story when we hear back..
