About Restaurant: Impossible

Restaurant: Impossible aired on Food Network (2011–2023; reboot 'Restaurant Impossible: Last Call' 2026–) in a rescue format. We list it here in plain text only: no logos, no title-card artwork, no episode stills. The show name is used to identify which episodes featured which restaurants — nothing on this site is affiliated with or endorsed by any network or production company.

Season and episode facts on this hub were compiled from public sources including the show's Wikipedia article . Facts only — never its wording.
