AND what happened to Robert's soux chefs? I agree…the new guy just isn’t as interesting as Robert was.

AND what happened to Robert’s soux chefs?

Irvine always seemed to push it to the limits with very interesting results. He also did some instruction to the home audience and I felt like I learned something about finer food along the way. I kept giving Chef Symon a chance but the nervous giggle makes me crazy. The show is now watching him rush a bout and giggle like a fool. I didn't know how much I missed Chef Irvine. The producers are the one who played up his resume. Rachel Ray comes to the culinary world as a none formally trained chef but she can entertain and teach. Chef Irvine had the same ability. Food Network you screwed up yourselves. It's going off my TiVo. I enjoyed the concept of watching a Chef cook under pressure.

After all, who hasn't padded their resume from time to time to score a gig? In fact, I had emailed them to allow him to stay, since I felt the show and Chef Irvine were inseparable. When the suits said they were going to essentially "think about it", I felt that he stood a chance at coming back. I saw the commercial for the new season and wondered, "Who *is* this douchebag?" Like expecting Thomas' English Muffins for breakfast and getting toast. D:I without Robert is no D:I at all. Color me disappointed. //k When the story broke about Robert’s resume, I was hoping cooler heads would prevail at Food Network.

Too boring and lack of humor. After that first show, D:I is off my Tivo’s season pass. Too boring and lack of humor.
