Chef Michael Symon- His new book, "Fix It with Food: More Than 125 Recipes to Address Autoimmune Issues and Inflammation," includes personal stories and highlights how something as simple as walnuts, bone broth, oregano oil and more can improve how you feel after a meal. Chef Robert Irvine tries to turn around restaurants across America that are facing an impending demise if things don't improve. With a $10,000 budget and two days to work, Irvine uses his creativity and resourcefulness to turn the eatery's fortunes around. On day one, he assesses the business by observing the staff and kitchen during a full service. He then updates the menu and makes aesthetic changes to the restaurant in preparation for the grand reopening the following day. Irvine goes out into the community to get a crowd into the building to check out the improvements on the second day of the project. Restaurant Impossible Thursday's @9pm on the Food Network
