Dinner Impossible: Winter X Games 13
The season premiere of Dinner Impossible is Wednesday, April 8th at 10pm ET on the Food Network. First up? A segment from Winter X Games 13.
What do cooking and snowboarding at the Winter X Games have in common? That would be a show called "Dinner Impossible," courtesy of the Food Network.
In January, show producers sent their crew and Chef Robert Irvine, who hears of his cooking missions just minutes before being whisked away to the grocery store for ingredients—this time to the hills of Buttermilk Mountain in beautiful Aspen, Colo., where Winter X Games 13 is underway. For this episode, Chef Robert was given his "mission" by Olympic Snowboarder and local Aspenite, Gretchen Bleiler, who jumped in with a menu request and asked for extreme cookies.
Chef Robert also had the help of several sous chefs you may recognize, among them BMX champion Kevin Robinson (who piped in with a request of his own: to keep chicken away from him, as he's allergic to poultry) and ESPN's Dana Jacobson. So what was Chef Robert's mission? What was in that entree that made Shaun White win gold? How much sugar was in the dessert that made Levi Lavallee attempt a double backflip on a snowmobile?
Tune in to the Food Network at 10 p.m. ET April 8 to find out, and check back in with ESPN.com/Action on April 9 for outtakes from the show.
