Loved the show, but it only got a 3 because instead of having a big screen tv above to show what they were cooking and what it looked like, they projected it to the bottom of the table on the bottom of the tablecloth and you couldn't see anything...

The only reason I did not give this show a 5 was because the food was not up to my expectations. The dessert was fruit with unsweetened cream. We were also served a cold scallop and a main dish that I think was steak & mashed cauliflower. The actual show was much better than what we had anticipated. We really liked the interaction and willingness to answer all questions. The meet and greet was an added plus with being able to later download the pictures for free. Overall this was a very positive experience in Walker, MN.

I was not sure what to expect from a live cooking show. What I got was a very good time. Chef Irvine interacted with the audience all night. He was so down to earth and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to see that he talked to everybody. He stayed after the show and there were over a hundred people waiting to get to meet him. He met with everyone. Robert Irvine is a good chef with a huge talent and a huge heart. He uses his fame to help others and is involved in many great causes.

He had five standing ovations. Not just a cooking demonstration but entertainment . He cooked under conditions that made it tougher than a bride making her first dinner for in laws. We had the preview seats where he gave us a private dinner and answered our questions.
Learned a few great cooking tips and saw some great food made.

We went to this show because we love great food and with the knowledge that he was an Iron Chef. We were SORELY DISAPPOINTED. The was nothing food-related that a person of at least average intelligence could learn. It was a nationalistic and sensationalistic commercial endeavor that FAILED. There was very little actual cooking. A shameless attempt at self congratulations, complete with posturing, muscle-flexing, and the hideous "physical challenges" of making PBJs while hanging upside-down and getting out of a straight-jacket (he should have stayed). At $50 a pop, we left thinking it wouldn't have been worth it if he paid us. If you enjoy monster truck rallies and NASCAR, you might like this event.

I am a great fan of Chef Robert Irvine. However, his Mesa, Arizona show was simply disappointing. He cooked a hamburger, chicken dish with a "worst cook" from the audience, shared all of his accomplishments in an "all about me" fashion, and the show simply dragged on. The best part was at the end when he and Chef Bo were handcuffed together for the final cooking challenge of flank steak. I think Chef Bo was the one who made this funny with his off the cuff interjections. The last straw was this annoying computer 'Chad' who seemed to control what was going on throughout the evening. I expected so much more from a chef who is such a perfectionist on his shows.

I love the show and his antics on the show. Not sure what his target audience was for this tour. People pouring out of the place before it was half over. Silly banter, a robot spent nearly half an hour creating a challenge. Robot barely audible. How talented is he? They tore apart and cooked chicken. SAVE YOUR MONEY

Robert Irvine is one of my husband and my favorite chefs on the Food Network. As soon as I saw that he was coming to the Philly area, I knew I had to buy us tickets. I didn't know what to expect with the live show but we were presently surprised.
Robert has a huge stage presence. He is very interactive with the audience. He even goes into the audience to find volunteers to come up on stage and cook with him. He does cooking demonstrations and even participates in a "Dinner Impossible," challenge. He is very entertaining to watch and is exactly like he is portrayed on tv, in person. You don't sit there bored at all because something is always going on, on the stage.
The best part is the fact that Robert stays after the show to meet with all of his fans. He is extremely nice and spent a while talking to my husband and I. He even recognized my tweets to him on Twitter. You can tell he loves his fans.

I came to this show as a huge fan of Robert Irvine's tv shows. I didn't really know what to expect from a cooking show, but left having had a great two hours with my wife. First, the show is not a cooking show and more of a experience. Yes, Robert does cook, but each time he does he gets a challenge. We saw him teach the worst cooks in the audience how to break down a whole chicken, recreate a "Chopped" like segment using five ingredients (after escaping from a straight jacket!) and more.
Ultimately, the show was a different side of Robert. It was fun, energetic and REALLY funny! If you are going into this expecting to learn how to make gourmet meals, go to a food and wine festival event. If you want a fun night out and some entertainment, can't think of a better show.

To say we were disappointed in this show is a total understatement!!!
1. The audio for Chef Irvine was poor as he was difficult to hear.
2. The cooking that he did was extremely basic (chicken as well as monk fish).
3. Only one cameraman was available to show any of the cooking techniques and the definition of the picture on the "big screen" was poor.
4. It was more of a comedy show with Chef Irvine's Master of Ceremony cracking jokes.
5. Audience members were allowed to ask questions however people either asked for him to hug them OR asked for him to do push-ups. No real culinary questions came from the audience.

I will say that Chef Irvine did wander through the audience - so hats off to him for making the interpersonal contact with this fans.
My husband and I chose to leave as he was attempting to escape from a straight jacket prior to making a "dinner impossible" - he was given 30 minutes to do that (including escape time). We have NEVER left a show early but this was torture to remain there for the entire two hours.
I would have rather gone out for dinner at one of our favorite BYOB restaurants for the $100 plus that we wound up spending on the tickets.
I guess we'll stick with music concerts at the Keswick (which is a great environment for that!)

My husband and I are huge fans of Robert Irvine. He's knowledgeable, fun, respectful, and passionate. The live show, however, was largely uninspired.
First, no one in the audience could see Robert's cooking tabletop because it was sitting on a white tablecloth, which was then projected onto a super brightly lit white tablecloth. :( The overhead projected display was off in that the timer was mostly cut off on the bottom (they fixed this mid-way through). The overhead projected display would hang up every now and then, so it was not comfortable to watch. "Chad"s voice was not always easy to understand. Did no one check lighting, projection, and sound before the show began?
Second, Robert was the only one that wore a microphone. The majority of the show included members of the audience and no one could hear the conversations between Robert and the audience members helping him. It was really frustrating.
Third, the challenges were not that challenging. Making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches hanging upside down is cute and nice for the kids, but it's not something I would pay over $65 per ticket to see. Also, there was no regard for the timer or actually meeting the challenge. If you're going to have a timed activity, it would be nice if that was taken at least somewhat seriously. I know Robert's history has been "challenge" based, but we all know he hasn't lost his edge and there is more to him than that.
My husband and I were hoping for more instruction and conversation from Robert himself. Why did he chose the ingredients he did, how was he cooking them and why, what are good knife techniques, etc.? We both felt that a lot more of those details could be integrated while still involving members of the audience and making the whole experience fun.
Last, I think each of the audience members has "Marc Summers" emblazoned on their brain. While we can all appreciate Marc's contributions to the production, is it really necessary to have "Chad" say his name a dozen times during the show?

I'm a big fan of Chef Irvine, the work he does for the community and his values in general. Still, I wasn't sure what a "Robert Irvine Live" show would entail. I attended the Clearwater show and I was blown away right from the start! Chef Irvine's energy was immediately visible and radiated throughout the hall. The audience laughed, learned and had a wonderful time. The added bonus was Chef Irvine staying around after the show and signing autographs/taking pictures for over 2 hours! I highly recommend this show!

Didn't know what to expect and was surprised at how theatrical and funny the show was. Challenges through the whole show, tons of video content and lots of surprises. Think Dinner: Impossible but live on stage. So much fun and would go again!
