We just found out that the 'Restaurant Impossible' episode that was filmed at Don Luis back in September is airing tonight (1/7) at 7 PM on the Food Network. Were you at the taping? Rumor has it, the author of this story made it into the episode (I'm the dude in the red shirt chomping down on an ear of sweet corn). We're scheduled to chat with Don Luis owner Carmen Salazer tomorrow afternoon on my 103.7 The Hawk radio show, 3 - 7 pm. Watch for an interview to be posted here tomorrow.
(Original story and interview below)
The fleet of buses, cameras and reality TV film crew members have been gone for a little over a week now after the Restaurant Impossible team rolled into Billings to tape an episode of the series at Don Luis Restaurant. The premise of the Food Network show is that host, chef Robert Irvine, and his crew spends "48 hours and $10,000" revamping restaurants that need help.
