1* AdoredByTheNetwork: If ''Series/{{Chopped}}'' or ''Series/DinersDriveInsAndDives'' isn't running on Food Network right now, chances are this show is. This was averted in 2014, however, with ''Restaurant: Impossible'' being restricted largely to Wednesday nights.
2* [[TheCameo Celebrity Cameo]]: Professional wrestler Wrestling/GailKim appeared in one episode of the show, which is how she and Robert first met. They married in 2012.
3* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The episodes featuring [=McClank's=] in Columbia, MO were removed from Discovery+ after one of the co-owners was arrested for his part in a local murder.
4* FollowTheLeader: Just as ''Series/RestaurantImpossible'' was inspired by ''Series/KitchenNightmares'', several other shows have adopted the same format of "celebrity X saves failing Y", including Creator/SpikeTV's ''Series/BarRescue'', the Travel Channel's ''Hotel Impossible'', and the Creator/FoodNetwork's own ''Restaurant Takeover'', ''Series/RestaurantStakeout'', ''Series/MysteryDiners'', ''Restaurant Redemption'' (focusing on Asian restaurants), and most recently, ''Save My Bakery''.
5* RomanceOnTheSet: See Celebrity Cameo above.
