Tonight on Food Network’s Restaurant: Impossible, the crew and chef Robert Irvine travel to Glendora, California to rescue T Phillips Alehouse and Grill and help an owner save her restaurant.
The renovations for T. Phillips Alehouse and Grill took place over a two-day period in February, 2020.
According to the episode synopsis, when the chef arrives at T. Phillip’s, he “finds a restaurant that looks more like a dive bar. Owner Jen can’t stand up for herself and everyone walks all over her. Robert must find a way to break down her walls.”
T Phillips Alehouse Owner Says Robert Irvine is the “Best Thing” to Ever Happen to Her
This one isn’t going to be easy 😳 Get a sneak peek at tonight’s touching new episode of #RestaurantImpossible with @RobertIrvine, coming up TONIGHT @ 9|8c!
The owner of T Phillips announced the airing of their episode of Restaurant: Impossible on Facebook, writing that chef Irvine was the best thing to ever happen to her.
“Tune in tomorrow night,” the post reads. “Chef Irvine is the best thing to ever happen to me! Thank you!!!”
In the teaser for the new episode, Irvine asks the owner when the last time she paid her mortgage was, to which she responds “over a year ago.” He can then be heard telling her he needs to see her get angry, and then she’s seen hitting what looks like an empty keg with a sledgehammer.
“Then, with her home on the line, she’s going to need to step up and be the leader that this restaurant needs…” Irvine says in the clip. “If there’s any hope of saving her business.”
