Who’s better at making over failing restaurants? Chef Robert Irvine of Food Network’s “Restaurant Impossible” and Jon Taffer, host of Paramount Network’s “Bar Rescue,” will vie for that crown in “Restaurant Rivals: Irvine vs. Taffer,” Discovery+ confirmed to TheWrap exclusively on Thursday.

The series, which will premiere all three episodes on March 3, will put both reality TV stars’ makeover skills to the test as diners rate who won that week’s challenge of revamping a restaurant in just 24 hours, with a “dinner-take-all” winner declared in the finale.

Will Irvine’s belief that a great menu speaks for itself win out, or Taffer’s insistence that the total dining experience is key?

“Fans have been waiting for this show,” Irvine said in a statement.
