Robert is faced with yet another impossible challenge in season 3 episode 5 of Dinner: Impossible, titled "Robert & the Chocolate Factory." In this episode, Robert is tasked with creating a three-course meal for 250 guests at a chocolate factory in Pennsylvania.
Right from the start, Robert is faced with a number of obstacles. The factory is in the middle of a busy production day, and he has to work around the workers and machinery to prepare his dishes. He's also greeted with a huge amount of chocolate, which he must incorporate into each course in a creative and tasty way.
To make matters even more challenging, there's a huge rainfall that floods the area, forcing Robert to improvise and get creative with his cooking. The factory's power also goes out at one point, adding yet another hurdle to overcome.
Despite these setbacks, Robert keeps his cool and begins brainstorming ideas. He decides to start with a salad course that incorporates chocolate in a surprising way, followed by an entree of pork tenderloin with a chocolate-infused barbecue sauce, and finishing with a dessert of chocolate fondue with a variety of dipping options.
Robert's first task is to create the tenderloin and barbecue sauce, which he does by searing the meat and then tossing it in a combination of chocolate, ketchup, and spices. He also uses a smoke gun to give it a smoky flavor that complements the chocolate perfectly.
Next, he moves on to the salad, which he decides to make with mixed greens, toasted hazelnuts, and a dressing that features white chocolate and balsamic vinegar. He also creates a chocolate lattice to add a visual element to the dish.
Finally, it's time for dessert. Robert sets up a fondue station with a variety of dipping options, including strawberries, bananas, and pound cake. He also creates a chocolate sculpture to serve as the centerpiece of the dish.
Throughout the episode, Robert faces a number of challenges and setbacks, but his creativity and culinary skills allow him to overcome each one. He works tirelessly to create three delicious and unique dishes that incorporate chocolate in unexpected ways.
In the end, Robert's hard work pays off as the guests rave about their meals. They're impressed by his ability to take chocolate and turn it into a savory ingredient that enhances each dish. Robert is once again able to successfully complete his mission of creating an impossible meal, proving that nothing is impossible when it comes to cooking.
