Food Network's Dinner Impossible recorded at Six Flags Great America

Didn't Chef Micheal Symon do something like this at Morey's Pier's last year?

Sounds cool. I wonder what his callenge was (besides dealing with SFs's overpriced food!)

He did. It was pretty hectic, but the outcome was good. I only had one line on the show, since I walked off camera on another potential spot.

This should be great to watch. Amusement Park equipment is much different than commercial kitchens in some aspects, so there are challenges for chefs.

Caught the show. I have never seen Dinner Impossible but I will say this was entertaining to watch.

Highly scripted in spots but most reality based shows are. It's obvious the park managers can't act. :)

I didn't know they were still filming this show. I thought Irvine had been canned by the network (pun intended) after the flap about him padding his credentials. I saw part of the show, namely Bob trying to make cotton candy with herbs and basically ending up with burnt straw. I assumed it was an older show that was just being rerun.

No, it was the season premiere of the show.

I believe they filmed this at the park a couple months ago.

There was a VERY brief on-screen appearance by yours truly with about 2 minutes left in the show as I sat down at the table (two shots before the lady eating the turkey leg)...

Chitown, this was not the season premiere...this was episode 3 or 4 of this season...

Oh, my bad. But anyway, these are new episodes and not re-runs.

I read that he padded his resume, but if ratings are decent, I can understand why they would continue the show.

The episode was very interesting to watch.

Michael Symon just didn't bring the same atmosphere as Irvine. Symon is good at Iron Chef, not Dinner: Impossible.

Anyways, I thought he did great. Some of the food was questionable, as far as perceived taste goes. It all got good reviews so I suppose it went well. Perhaps I have a close-minded pallet.

I caught about the first 10 mintes, then had to hit the rack. Got a lotta work to do today.

It was a pretty decent show. I do like the fact that Six Flags had logos everywhere, and the staff had clean uniforms. For food stands, they looked extremely clean. SFGA looked good in the spotlight.

I remember last season they had Guy Fieri doing one or two. We also thought they got rid of Irvine.

Might have to watch this one/

I thought it was funny at the end when the kid was talking about Maverick even though he was at a SF park.

I was in 3 clips in the final 5 minutes...All of my backside. Butt shots FTW. ;)

I can't seem to find info on this show. Is it going to be shown again?

^ Check out Foodnetwork.com?

Yep....did that.

Other than the show scheduale for yesterday, there is no info on when it will be shown again.
