Seems Robert Irvine, the Popeye muscle armed, fast talking "Dinner: Impossible" guy of the Food Network - the show which Anthony Bourdain has dubbed "Dinner: Not So Difficult" - has been caught cooking up a few fibs.
See my story today. The St. Petersburg Times checked out his boasts and found most not to be true. (C'mon now, people really believed that the Queen of England bought him A CASTLE??) The dude lives in South Jersey!
Yesterday, I called the Food Network to see if he was still working there. His bio is gone from the web site. They said, "yes" and then quickly added, "we'll send you a statement." (It's in the story.)
Irvine is still supposedly cooking at Harry's Savoy Grill in April.
Now, that is one dinner I'm not missing. I hope he comes. Can't wait to hear what he has to say.

Robert will be a great asset to the Share Our Strength Dinner. He is volunteering his time and is not asking for any of the perks (including money)that many of today's celebrity chefs are demanding. This says a lot about him to me.He is also a great team player and fun to be around.
Is he really a "celebrity chef" if he's a big liar?
If he's really a liar, he should run for political office.
