Restaurant: Impossible is an American reality television series that premiered on January 19, 2011, and airs on Food Network. The show features chef and restaurateur Robert Irvine.

The premise of the series is that within two days and on a budget of $10,000, chef Robert Irvine renovates a failing American restaurant with the goal of helping to restore it to profitability and prominence. Irvine is assisted by an HGTV designer (usually Taniya Nayak, Cheryl Torrenueva, or Lynn Keagan, but sometimes Vanessa De Leon, Krista Watterworth, Yvette Irene, or Nicole Faccuito), along with general contractor Tom Bury, who sometimes does double duty as both general contractor and designer. After assessing the problems with the restaurant, Robert Irvine typically creates a plan for the new decor, oversees the cleaning of the restaurant, reduces the size of the menu and improves the food, develops a promotional activity, educates the restaurant's owners, or trains the staff, as needed by each restaurant.[1]

Robert Irvine is a fearless chef and top restaurateur. He's never met a challenge he wouldn't take. Robert's new mission: fix America's most desperate restaurants. With limited time and few resources, this may be ... Restaurant: Impossible!

Changes

Robert Irvine enters a restaurant, assesses the issues, and confronts the owners with the problems. He begins outlining the changes he intends to make. He typically reduces the size of the menu and frequently adds simple dishes which he believes will sell; changes the décor to make it more appealing to customers; oversees cleaning; trains the staff (sometimes changing the staff's duties, e.g. making one person an executive chef or making one person a host or hostess); and gives the restaurant's owners the practical tools and suggestions to succeed.

Each episode ends with a group of new customers being invited to the new-look restaurant. Occasionally, selected items from the new menu are prepared and samples are presented to the public to advertise the restaurant.
