Here to pump you up
Need a makeover for the front and back of house? Food Network is currently looking for Colorado restaurants interested in appearing in its reality series “Restaurant: Impossible,” hosted by Chef Robert Irvine. Now in its 19th season, the show is premised on Irvine revamping restaurants to restore them to prominence and profitability in just two days with a budget of $10,000.
Not to be confused with the hotheaded John Taffer, of “Bar Rescue,” Irvine is known as the possible overly “swol” British bloke, who is a body builder on the side (see photo) and does much less yelling. He has appeared on a variety of Food Network programs including, “Dinner: Impossible,” “Worst Cooks in America,” “Guy's Grocery Games” and “Chopped: Impossible.” He currently operates two restaurants, the Public House in Las Vegas, and Fresh Kitchen, located within The Pentagon. Irvine was also host of “The Robert Irvine Show” talk show, from 2016-18.
Filming for “Restaurant: Impossible” is set to take place this summer. To apply and air your dirty kitchen laundry, go to: restaurantimpossibleshort application.castingcrane.com.

It’s a mash-up made in Westernwear heaven. Sort of. Seems Chaco, the purveyor of the iconic strappy dirtbag river rat footwear, has joined forces with Wrangler, as in tight jeans, big belt buckles, bull riding and snap shirt fame.

Turns out, blondes do have more fun, or at least they get more awards. Last week, Ska Brewing won the gold medal for its True Blonde Ale in the English-Style Pale Ale category at the 2026 World Beer Cup. This is the third win for the Blonde at the World Beer Cup, held in Philadelphia on April 22 and pegged as one of the world’s most prestigious beer competitions.
