Restaurant: Impossible

He does great things and obviously knows what he is doing. His team are amazing, turning around the look and vibe of the restaurants.

But why is he so rude? Is it necessary to be so abrupt and rude to complete strangers? His first approach to the restauranteurs is just RUDE!

And what does this guy know about "counseling" I find him very inappropriate at times.

But at the end, usually he gets it done and helps turn around these restaurants!

I Love this show Chef Robert is an army drill Sargent type of guy that will get things moving, He's not Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray, He's honest in the best way, not the demoralizing "You ARE A PIECE OF SH*T!" way that is Gordan Ramsey's style, but the "I'm gonna tell you what you don't want to hear but you know it's true,"

It's tough but I'm here to help you, Brutally Honest, Brutally True.

Chef Robert say's "I will make YOU better, With this and that, YOU can do this, I will help you." And this show has Real actions, and reactions, it changes lives, and every show you can feel the real reality, unlike, most "reality shows" on TV.

I loved the first several seasons of this show, because it was all about the FOOD. Sure, it involved fixing the kitchen/giving the place a facelift to make it an attractive package, but it has devolved to "HGTV/Marriage counseling Hour". I, like many people, will go into a hole in the wall, as long as it's relatively clean, but mostly IF THE FOOD IS GOOD. The last few seasons the food aspect has been less than 5 minutes out of every hour episode. So the recent places may look nice, but the food is still going to suck.

Here's something you'll hear every episode: The designer of the episode will say "There are sooooo many dust collectors", or "We HATE nik-naks!", only to put up a thousand new dust collectors and nik naks to replace the ones they just hauled outside.

It was funny when Robert used to take a sledgehammer to a wall or whatever, because then he'd walk off to the kitchen and make something delicious. Now he hangs around the remodel or goes to the trailer and makes phone calls. Very disappointing.

I thought this was a FOOD network show. What happened to the FOOD part of the show??

I have watched one episode of this show, and it is literally a carbon copy of the kitchen nightmare format! Bad kitchen, chef comes in to see kitchen, head chef (HC) lies to presenter chef (PC). PC wants to see kitchen in action, and HC does silly things, PC brings them up on it and HC kicks off. HC then realises that PC is right. All is well.

Literally a Kitchen Nightmare rip off! Watch that, as Gordon is so much better!

Every time I see this show I end up crying. What the h---is wrong with people. He is trying to help. If people don't take advantage and run with it shame on their dumb ass. God knows I would love that kind of help but it will never happen to me. He may not have the money Jon T. in bar rescue, (who I also love) but he gives people a second chance. I love it!! If you don't appreciate what he is trying to do then you have never had to really fight to stay alive.
