The show was what you'd expect if you're a fan of it. IF you're not, well, basically, Chef Irvine, who's put under the gun to cater big parties in short amounts of time, yells at people and creates beautiful and tasty looking dishes. On this show, Stephanie McMahon and the Big Show basically gave him 9 hours to cater an event for 300 WWE VIPs with foods based off the aforementioned signature moves. As you'd expect, the wrestling help, mainly Santino and Miz, gave Chef Irvine trouble at every turn. Miz was with the team for the whole time, and his best moments included him riding around the supermarket in one of those motorized carts and ripping apart chicken like a barbarian when he was tasked with separating it for JR to cook some BBQ chicken. He also got into a war of words and a scuffle with Santino, which provided humor for the viewers and angst for Irvine.
After awhile, both Miz and Santino proved capable in the kitchen, capable enough for Irvine to get his food out to the VIPs, which included Linda McMahon, Mike Knox, David Koechner and non-celebrities. The dishes looked like they'd be really good. I'm not a fish guy and the idea of frog legs kinda repulses me. Other than that, they conjured up a mouthwatering "Pedigree" dish out of lobster medallion and short-rib atop mashed potato. Miz's Skull-Crushing Bon Bon, which was a bon-bon infused with raspberry puree, looked damn good too. If you're a fan of cooking shows and wrestling, watch this show. It'll be worth the hour, and Food Network usually reruns the shit out of their programming.
One other note... Chef Irvine is JACKED. When Santino entered the kitchen, he flexed as per his shirt, and Irvine followed suit. His biceps are huge. I'm wondering if Vince got him on the phone after seeing the show to see if he wanted a contract! Actually, in all seriousness, Robert Irvine as a guest host on RAW might work. He has built in heat with Miz and Santino already...
