Default Restaurant Impossible BBQ Craziness

I am watching Food Network's Restaurant Impossible and I just had
to share an unbeliveable BBQ quote from Robert "Padded Resume" Irvine.

"...that brisket, after 16 hours in the smoker with the white birch..."

Wow, just wow! That indeed screams restaurant impossible.

HAHA Watching the same thing here. When this show first started it seemed like the first few episodes were all italian joints, so I quit watching for a while. It's gotten better though.

The brisket didn't look bad (they use a Southern Pride), but birch?!

I can't believe they haven't fired that jacka$$... Ever since the "I cooked for the queen - NOT" scandal hit, I've thought of him as a POS.

Maybe they should have him cook for the queen
and call the show "Resume Impossible".

I guess I missed the scandal on Mr. Irvine. That explains why you said "padded resume" in the first post John haha. I never was a fan of him though so I didnt pay any attention if I did hear about it

EDIT: Just read about it on wiki, funny stuff right there

It's all a ratings game, folks. He produces numbers, bad grammar and all. Alton Brown doesn't know JS but the writers paint him as an "expert" and so he's a top-rated talking head on Food Network. Scary.

Lest I sound too jaded, there are some "food celebs" that really know their stuff and can actually cook. However, I'd make a nice charitable donation if Paula would never say "PEEEEEEEEEEE CAN" again

Y'all need to come to the rural South and y'all would find out in a minute that that is the way we roll y'all.

As for Mr. Irvine ~ my first thought is he probably knows as much about BBQ as I do about fine dining! Wait, am I confusing my chefs??

Birch has a unique smoke. If y'all haven't tried it, ya should.
Chicken is fantastic smoked with birch.

One thing: Irvine was a chef on the celebrity "Chopped".

You can't fake that show: you've got to be able to cook. He nearly won.

His skills impressed me, whether he knows Q, or no.
