Ep 10. The Trails

In Restaurant: Impossible season 2 episode 10, titled "The Trails," host and chef Robert Irvine travels to San Diego, California to help a restaurant that has been struggling for years. The Trails is a family-owned business that has been open for over a decade, but has never been able to turn a profit. The restaurant is run by husband and wife team Dana and Eddie, who have poured their heart and soul into the business, but are at a loss as to how to make it successful.

When Robert arrives, he is shocked by what he sees. The restaurant is in desperate need of a makeover, both in terms of the decor and the menu. The dining room is dark and outdated, with drab walls and old-fashioned light fixtures. The menu is equally uninspired, with generic dishes that are poorly executed. Robert knows that he has his work cut out for him if he is going to turn this restaurant around.

Robert starts by meeting with Dana and Eddie to discuss their goals for the restaurant. They explain that they want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where families can come to enjoy a good meal. They also want to incorporate more healthy options into the menu, as they know that customers are looking for healthier options these days.

Robert then takes a look at the kitchen, where he is appalled by what he finds. The equipment is outdated and in disrepair, and the kitchen is dirty and cluttered. He brings in his team of designers and contractors to give the kitchen a complete overhaul, replacing old equipment and creating a more efficient layout.

While the kitchen is being remodeled, Robert turns his attention to the dining room. He works with his team of designers to create a bright and cheerful space that is both modern and welcoming. They replace the old light fixtures with new, modern fixtures, and add new furniture and decor to give the space a fresh look.

Once the kitchen and dining room are remodeled, Robert turns his attention to the menu. He works with the chef to create a new menu that incorporates more fresh, healthy ingredients. Together, they come up with several new dishes that are flavorful, creative, and healthy.

The next day, the restaurant reopens with a completely new look and menu. Customers are amazed by the changes, and the restaurant is packed. The new menu is a hit, with customers raving about the fresh ingredients and creative dishes. The new decor also receives high praise, with customers loving the bright and cheerful space.

In the end, Dana and Eddie are thrilled with the changes that Robert has made. They feel that the restaurant finally has a chance at success, and they are grateful to Robert for his help. Robert is also pleased with the results, knowing that he has helped a struggling family business get back on track.
