March 12, 20169 yr Food Network's "Restaurant: Impossible" swooped in on the restaurant that opened a few years ago in the renovated Wonder Bread bakery building in Italian Village. The Dispatch wrote a profile about it (excerpt linked below). The Restaurant Impossible makeover occurred last weekend during the Arnold Sports Festival weekend. A number of people over at CU and reddit wondered if that was coincidence or planned, because the show host looks like a bodybuilder: Food Network show, 'Restaurant: Impossible' turns Cray into Factory on Fourth By JD Malone, The Columbus Dispatch Saturday, March 12, 2016 - 6:13 AM When Crystal Park watched episodes of "Restaurant: Impossible," the popular Food Network show, she promised herself that if she ever wound up on the show, she would not cry. Last week the show’s star, Robert Irvine, surprised Park at Cray, her restaurant in the old Wonder Bread factory on N. Fourth Street. What followed was two days of filming, remodeling, renaming the place, rewriting the menu and a lot of, yes, crying. “That first day, he made me cry a lot,” said Park, whose restaurant is now called Factory on Fourth. “I cried like six times.” Irvine’s show revolves around the idea that he can swoop in for a few days, diagnose a restaurant’s issues and put it back on path to success. Irvine, a former cook in the British Royal Navy, doesn’t pull punches when explaining a restaurant’s problems. ... Park's episode, the first shot here in Columbus, airs April 27. Park plans to throw a watch party at the restaurant. MORE: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2016/03/12/1-food-network-show-turns-cray-into-factory-on-fourth.html
