* 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 ''Series/RestaurantTakeover'', ''Series/RestaurantStakeout'', ''Series/MysteryDiners'', ''Series/RestaurantRedemption'' (focusing on Asian restaurants), and most recently, ''Save My Bakery''.

Hey Its That Guy and Hey Its That Voice examples are being cut per TRS.


* HeyItsThatGuy: Two of the chefs in the first episode previously appeared on ''Series/{{Chopped}}''.
** Michael Gilletto, the chef that won the job, was frequently criticized on ''Chopped'' for making dishes way too small. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, even when he won the job, he caused problems for Robert by backing out at the last minute.]]
** Stacey Poon-[=McKinney=], owner of "The Trails", competed in Season 9 of ''Series/TheNextFoodNetworkStar''.

* 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.

removed I Call It Vera entry because it was already on main page


* ICallItVera: Somewhat subverted because it doesn't actually have a name, but Robert's golden sledgehammer (originally painted gold by his construction manager Tom Bury) has become notorious, since he'll haul it out OncePerEpisode to demolish some objectionable architectural feature. (On the 100th-episode special, Tom revealed that Robert's actually up to about sledghammer #40 or even #50, not least becasue he frequently hides the implement from Robert!)
