I just saw my first episode. It was about Zoog's. I really enjoyed the show.

Volunteer stint with 'Restaurant: Impossible' holds link to the past for Port Angeles interior designer; TV episode airs Wednesday
PORT HADLOCK When interior designer Trisa Katsikapes of Port Angeles interrupted her work week to volunteer for the Restaurant: Impossible television crew, she wasn't yet aware of a particularly meaningful connection waiting in the experience.
In mid-November, she found out that Zoog's Caveman Cookin', the eatery on Chimacum Road in rural Jefferson County, was to host the Food Network show a favorite of hers.
The TV crew needed free help from locals. Immediately Katsikapes, who was born in Port Townsend, signed up to volunteer, jumped in the car, drove to Zoog's and found herself in the midst of, well, insanity.
Restaurant: Impossible, with its construction, design and menu-makeover crew led by celebrity chef Robert Irvine, sweeps into a struggling eatery.
Then, over the course of two days and a $10,000 budget, the teams repaint, refloor, rewire and revamp it all.
FULL story at link.
Restaurant: Impossible, featuring Zoog's Caveman Cookin' in Port Hadlock, will air on the Food Network, channel 53, at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Zoog's, at 141 Chimacum Road, is open daily for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The bar stays open until 11 p.m. weeknights and to about 2 a.m. on weekends.

My only problem is the Trivia portion. They only tell you the answer, never anything about why it is correct. I hate that!

It was so weird because I almost turned and said to my husband: "I feel like Zoog is going to drop from a heart attack or something." He just didn't look healthy to me, with his flushed face and all. Then at the end there was a blurb saying Zoog had had a heart attack not long after filming ended. (He survived though.)

Apparently Robert Irvine has an appreciably higher "save rate" than Gordon Ramsey's similar show but I am too lazy to google the statistics.
