Dinner Impossible serves up Hors D’oeuvres for a Hollywood Movie
03 25 2007So, last week’s Dinner Impossible was all about a movie preview and after party. Irvine found himself in a makeshift kitchen – probably one of the worst setups he’s used – along with some help from one of the George’s along with this new guy we’ve seen in the last two episodes – another sous chef. I think his name is Barry or something. Anyway, this new Sous Chef has a long way to go to actually help Irvine – he got his ass reamed throughout the entire episode. Actually, it seemed quite excessive, really. Barry, who was sent to the local fish monger, picked up a few pounds of shrimp with the head on – and throughout the entire episode, Irvine was reaming him for wasting time with having to clean those. In the end though, they had a few assistants from the theater throwing the afterparty that helped Barry get the shrimp all squared away.
Other than that, Irvine was tasked with creating Hors D’oeuvres for 350 people, including one guy who was a vegetarian; This meant Irvine had to come up with at least three different Hors D’oeuvres for this guy – and in addition, he also had to make a drink for him, and the only thing the guy drank, according to him, was Vodka. So, he had to create a drink for this guy.
Anyway, there were tremendous odds, and now having seen in the past that Irvine can in fact, fail, he succeeded in this extremely difficult series of events. It was an entertaining episode, but only so much can go wrong before you actually want to throw your hands up in frustration. I mean, he burned the sushi rice twice, Barry screwed up, they were running behind, and I don’t think he got everything he wanted to done. Entertainment, but man, I would be pissed if I were Irvine
















Yeah, I’m watching the repeat and Barry is really getting dumped on. You think that Irvine would just move on, but he kept on and on. It was painful to watch at times.
It was another tough challenge. I am glad they are “real challenges” not just set up circumstances like most TV shows.
