Who said a giant pachyderm isn’t a worthy celebrity to enjoy a pampered meal? Who says that such a challenge is too much for a celebrity chef? Enter: Chef Robert Irvine, host of The Food Network’s Dinner:Impossible – challenge location: Busch Gardens Tampa. Along with his daughter, Tallia to celebrate her 10th birthday, his girlfriend, WWE wrestler Gail Kim, and other daughter, Annalise, Irvine took to Busch Gardens roller coasters along with the food prep.
For a guy who takes on last minute prepping for small and large gatherings alike, putting together a meal fit for an elephant shouldn’t be tough at all.
Then getting to feed the grateful diners only added to the family fun. (I’ve fed an elephant – closer distance than they get to do here – and its a total blast!)
Check out the photos – courtesy of our wonderful friends at Busch Gardens Tampa and taken by Matt Marriott – and enjoy the fun.
To check out the Chef’s Show, tune in to The Food Channel and to see the elephants with the celebrity friends, visit Busch Gardens Tampa.
