Food for Thought asks Robert Irvine ten questions

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Sep 27th 2007 @ 11:19PM

One of my Food Network guilty pleasures is Dinner: Impossible. I like the challenges, I really enjoy the creativity required to pull it off and I love Robert Irvine. The accent combined with those intense food skills really set my heart afluttering. Knowing all this, you'll understand just how tickled I was when I discovered earlier today that Food for Thought, the behind-the-scenes blog over at Food Network Canada currently has a post up about Chef Irvine, along with a brief interview. Fun fact I learned from the post? Chef Irvine is excited about stone-ground mustard and rice wine vinegar these days. A man who can get excited about mustard is definitely a man after my own heart.

I feel that my way is usually the right way in the kitchen and it works out every time, as does his way. It figures a mandolin would be his favorite tool, such speed in it!

He and Bobby Flay are my food hero's.
