Hello, real chef Michael Symon! New episodes every Wednesday at 10E/9C on Food Network. Tonight's premiere features our favorite bald Greek cooking a dinner in a San Francisco catering establishment that must be transported to Alcatraz Island and served in the old prison shower room. He has limited boats which can get him over to the island and time is most definitely of the essence!!! His food should be 10 times better than Irvine's. That guy was a hack. ETA: Hack though he might be, I do have to admit that Robert does this show WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY better than Michael Symon. Last Edited By: ColbyRulesAll 04/11/09 07:23 AM. Edited 2 times.

That's kind of awesome and kind of sad since Irvine despite his fantasy resume is still probably a better chef than the majority of the other food network "personalities."

Maybe Irvine could do a hybrid show with Aunt Sandy elements--I'd love to see him try to cook for the glitterati with packaged taco seasoning....

The plus side is that he brought comedy to the show. It wasn't dead serious which is the last thing I want to watch. And another plus side is that he brought heart to the show. I will really miss him and hope that Food Network will rethink this and bring him back.

However...in the first ep Michael was at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville making a feast for 300 and Charlie Daniels. They gave him 8 hours and he didn't start really cooking until there were 3 hours left! WTF??? I'll catch the repeats this weekend.

I will really miss him and hope that Food Network will rethink this and bring him back. Yee-ikes--you really overreacted to my post. Irvine--a wonderful and accomplished chef--is superbly watchable. And despite my slight slam of Aunt Sandy, I find her at least entertaining. I would love to see Irvine back on the (in many ways lamentable) Food Network, in almost any type of show. He was so hilarious dealing (graciously) with the ridiculous restrictions on DI--cooking with 2 CBS: Survivor contestants, when neither of them could cook or fish?--that I think he could actually take Aunt Sandy's "raw" materials and make good food. That being said, Symon is clearly superior. His performance in the Catholic-boy-meets-Kosher show last week was charming. At least they could have explained to him in advance that, in Passover, you need the capital letter P next to the everyday kosher mark!
