"Dinner Impossible" chef fired.
False resume gets chef cut from network
Mon Mar 3, 12:46 PM PST
After rising to culinary stardom preparing impossible meals on his Food Network series, Robert Irvine has met an obstacle his kitchen prowess couldn't overcome -- an embellished resume.
The star of "Dinner: Impossible" has acknowledged fabricating some of the more fantastic parts of his resume, including having cooked for Britain's Royal Family and various U.S. presidents.
Following the revelations, the network announced it would not renew Irvine's contract, though it would air the remaining episodes of the current season, the series' fourth.
"I was wrong to exaggerate in statements related to my experiences in the White House and the Royal Family," Irvine said in a written statement. "I am truly sorry for misleading people and misstating the facts."
The Food Network said it might revisit its decision at the end of this season, but for now would begin searching for a new host for the series, which challenged Irvine to cook under arduous conditions.
"We rely on the trust that our viewers have in the accuracy of the information we present, and Robert challenged that trust," the network said in a written release.
Irvine, who is from England, first acknowledged the fabrications in a Feb. 17 story in the St. Petersburg Times.

My wife watches Food Network all the time. This guy's show was one of their better shows. I am disappointed they fired him.
I won't watch this show with anyone else as the chef.... except Bear Grylls."My heart shall cry out for Moab..." Isaiah 15:5
