"Flood Tide"
For Robert Irvine's next Restaurant: Impossible mission, he heads to Mystic in my home state of Connecticut to tackle the Flood Tide restaurant. It's located in a major tourist spot but the owner, Jody Dyer, is concerned because business has tanked over the last few years. Upon first glance, the biggest issue is that this restaurant is super outdated... it looks like nothing has been touched since the 80s!
A group of hungry diners head into the Flood Tide to check out the food

"Secret Garden"
Last night, on Restaurant: Impossible, Robert headed to Jacksonville, FL to check out the Secret Garden Café.

Prior to opening the restaurant, owner John Meglio was a salesman. He's taken a second mortgage out on his home to help keep the place going and he has no previous restaurant experience!

Immediately, Robert is not happy with the décor and picks it apart, which John doesn't seem too happy about. After that, he brings in a

"Salt Works II"
This week, on Restaurant: Impossible, Robert is in North Carolina to help Michael Thyberg and Jonathan Flatt save Salt Works II. The first time restaurant owners took the place over, keeping the same staff and menu. Soon after, the whole place began to fall apart and they're now in a hole they can't get out of. In the first year alone, these guys have lost over $100,000!
Cue Robert, whose first order of business is to check out their service. Since breakfast is
