Dinner: Impossible serves up food I can’t eat – but I want to :-\

02 1 2007

So, last night’s new episode of Dinner: Impossible served up a bunch of food I wouldn’t be able to stomach. And no, it’s not because it looked unappetizing – it was because it’s all seafood. And I’m allergic to seafood. Bummer ;p

I’m happy to say that this show is still entertaining. It’s only in it’s second week, but I suspect that it will always have the format that they’ve decided to use for the show – it starts out intense, immediately explaining what the mission is (interestingly, Irvine doesn’t have a chance to not accept it?) and other pertinent information about what he’s going to be doing. Then, they jump right into him arriving on the scene, scoping the situation, and going to town with his sous chef’s. In this case, they were on a small island, with very limited resources, cooking for 200 or more people. eight hours to prepare food, and almost no supplies. The money raised would go toward the local Fireman’s charity. The island had a small general store, along with a very cramped kitchen, with only one working oven. Suck! Chef Irvine made it all work, though – and in the end they were rewarded with double the proceeds that they had previously been able to attain. Or maybe the doubled the money that Chef Irvine spent on food? It’s not really explained ;-)

Anyway, I’m still reasonably entertained by the show. It’s good stuff – it’s a little on the masculine side, but that’s good.
