American Diner Revival Starts Tonight - Robert Irvine Not Happy About The Show

American Diner Revival starts tonight at 10:30pm ET on the Food Network.  The show had a pilot in January 2015, and a six episode season was picked up.  Amanda Freitag and Ty Pennington help struggling diners across America with the help of local residents.  Amanda and Ty get the diner owner away from the restaurant for 24 to 36 hours and do the makeover while the owner is away.  The first episode is at The Diner in Norman, Oklahoma, and the restaurant has already been on Food Network's Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.

A few weeks ago, Robert Irvine tweeted out sarcastically, "Let's try to remake restaurant impossible and call it diner revival"


A fan told Robert to be nice, to which he responded, "No annoys me"



A fan also called Robert out by saying Restaurant Impossible was pretty much taken from Kitchen Nightmares, and Robert denied that.

Robert also claimed an 80% success rate, which we know isn't true (below 50%), but that number is always inflated by him.


It doesn't seem like American Diner Revival has anything to do with struggling restaurants, but is more about the makeover.  I guess there is a time constraint which is similar, but do you think Robert has anything to be annoyed about?
