Robert Irvine of Dinner Impossible – Liar and a Chef?
I realize this is old news, but I thought I had to say something about it. If you haven’t heard, it appears that the star of Food Network’s Dinner Impossible, Robert Irvine, apparently lied about various work experiences on his website and books. It would appear he had an answer for all the questions they put towards him. Of course, he did admit to lying about being a Knight of the highest order. At least he came forward about that and admitted it was a big mistake.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen the show or not, regardless of whether he was lying about his experiences (including working in the White House!), the man is a great chef and he knows what he’s doing. However, I do realize this is a great blow to his credibility. Since he lied about his work experience, what else has he lied about? I’m a big fan of Robert Irvine, and while I’m rather disappointed, it doesn’t change my opinion that he’s still a great chef.
So Food Network has decided to go ahead and drop him from Dinner Impossible, and have yet to announce who the new chef will be. (that i know of)
