This weekend I caught my first Dinner Impossible. I don’t usually watch reality television, but I caught two great shows this weekend. One was this Dinner Impossible episode and the other was the Next Iron Chef Show. I really enjoyed Dinner Impossible, I think Guy was a great challenger to Robert Irvine and made the show so much more fun. Guy’s light heartedness was a great counterbalance to Robert’s more austere personality. The challenge was cooking camp food for 500 campers. Each chef had to make a chicken dish, a pizza, a pasta dish, a salad and a dessert. Guy and Robert really gave it to each other throughout the show. At one point Guy turned off Robert’s ovens and it really was funny to see Robert get all hot and bothered about it.
Guy wound up winning the challenge and the funniest thing was Robert attributed it to Guy’s making more kid friendly food that was “less gourmet”. I think each took plenty of shortcuts, but the food came out with relatively the same skill level. I don’t think Guy dumbed it down too much for the kids. He definitely had a much easier time with the kids then Robert.
If all the shows are as funny as this one it is definitely worth your time.
