Six Flags Great America Whips Up Culinary Feat for Food Network Show “Dinner: Impossible” Theme park food will never look the same after Aug. 26 when Six Flags Great America is featured on the Food Network's “Dinner: Impossible” staring celebrity chef Robert Irvine. The episode will be centered on Chef Irvine's culinary challenge to prepare a gourmet meal to 250 coaster enthusiasts in nine hours using traditional theme park foods found at Six Flags Great America.
The clock is ticking and Chef Irvine has to overcome several setbacks to make the challenge. Can he find creative ways to prepare traditional theme park food such as hot dogs, funnel cake and popcorn? Can he prepare enough food for 250 hungry coaster enthusiasts in nine hours? Can he make it across the park to find groceries and back in time to prepare a meal that would earn him “Six Flags?”
Tune in to Food Network on Wed., Aug. 26 at 9 p.m. to find out if Chef Irvine can complete his challenge and face perhaps the toughest challenge yet — riding Raging Bull on a full stomach.

Honestly, most of the food didn't taste remotely appetizing. The hotdogs were ok, the coaster burgers were edible, and the ribs were also edible after I scraped the at the time mysterious white sauce off of it. Honestly I would have been happier if he just cooked up the park food normal and served it
Though admittedly I am a picky eater also. Though people at my table who did try the rest of the stuff didn't care for it either. And some of it was downright nasty. One huge problem was all the food was ice cold, and we were served on tin plates which were cold, so any warmth the food had was long gone by the time we made it to the table. Not sure why they were showing the food on fancy square ceramic plates in the show. And that tomato snowcone when we got it, it was red water with celery sticking out of it. No one was sure what it was supposed to be.
At the end I went up to the buffet and ended up eating 3-4 plain empty waffle cones, was probably the best thing I ate there. Also the coca cola was good as well. Gotta redo the name of the show for this one to Dinner? Impossible!
