Summary

Over 10% of restaurants closed permanently as a result of the pandemic, according to one study, and food and drink vendors are still grappling with issues like a short labor supply and high prices due to inflation. Celebrity chef and restaurateur Robert Irvine has helped hundreds of failing dining establishments on his hit Food Network show "Restaurant: Impossible," and now he has written a new book, Overcoming Impossible, detailing what it takes to transform a business for the better. Chef Irvine recently joined the Fox News Rundown's Chris Foster to talk about his book, what kinds of challenges the restaurant industry is facing, and why he believes philanthropy is good for business. Irvine opened up about his career and shared plenty of stories and advice. However, due to time limitations, we could not include all of the discussion in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Celebrity Chef and Food Network star Robert Irvine and learn about his success and how he is using it to lift others.
