Truth: Impossible - Chef Robert Irvine caught in a web of lies
You’d think by now that people would know better. Embellishing a resume, adding credits that are the work of a vivid imagination rather than hard work… they’re bound to be unearthed someday. Especially if you’re a success. The latest prevaricator caught in a series of lies is Food Network’s British chef Robert Irvine. In a scathing expose by the St. Petersburg Times, the star of Dinner: Impossible, has been caught with egg on his face. Make that more like egg salad. Multiple claims by Irvine, including creating Princess Diana’s wedding cake, cooking for White House dinners, being knighted by the queen, and more, have turned out to be tall tales.
Eww! That smarts. This isn’t the first time Food Network has been stung by the truth. Last year, during the penultimate episode of The Food Network Star 3, one of the finalists, Josh “JAG” Garcia, was disqualified when it was learned he lied about his military service as well as his cooking expertise. Speaking for Food Network, a press rep said, “We are investigating the matter and taking the necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of all representations of Robert on Food Network and foodnetwork.com.”
It’ll take some clever cooking for Chef Robert to overcome this challenge to his image. His show, which sets up each challenge the chef must complete on the episode while the clock is ticking in the mode of Mission: Impossible, is in its second season on the network and is a hit. More than that, the chef has been prominently featured on a variety of other Food Network programs and is considered one of their rising stars.
