Restaurant: Impossible

While restaurant owners must invite Robert Irvine to their business in order to initiate a Restaurant: Impossible mission, he's not always warmly welcomed when he arrives, and hardly ever does he encounter no resistance at all in the process of his updates. Still, while some confrontation and minimal chaos may be expected, it's rare that missions turn into all-out screaming matches or no-holds-barred tantrums; those seeming disasters, while surely salvageable, have indeed led to unprecedented arguments on air.

On tonight's episode of Restaurant: Impossible, fans look back on some of the most-unforgettable blowups to ever appear on the series. From the outspoken servers at Hillbillies Restaurant to the yelling and door-slamming at Nanny Goat's Cafe & Feed Bin, Robert has paid witness to over-the-top tempers, but they surely haven't stopped him from completing his missions. Read on below to hear from the owners of some of the restaurants featured on tonight's episode (a few couldn't be reached for comment) to find out how they fared after Robert's initial visit.
