Three things, all completely wrong:

First I bring you this: Chef Robert Irvine -- nearly St. Petersburg's own shining knight, were it not for an unfortunate defrocking -- is returning to Food Network's "Dinner: Impossible" series in March. Production on new episodes is starting this month, following an outpouring of viewer demand for the muscle-bound chef. That one leaves me fairly speechless.

Domenica Macchia, the tremendously talented chef at MJs Jazz and Tapas Lounge, (445 99th Ave N., St. Petersburg, 727-329-6600) was let go after service on Saturday evening. Seems the owners had a different vision for the future of the place: more roadhouse, less restaurant. If there's any justice, Macchia will land on her feet somewhere else immediately.

In a similarly bad move, New York magazine has let go of Gael Greene, one of New York City 's most famous food critics. The magazine cites the economy as a reason that four restaurant critics can no longer be supported. Greene was the magazine's chief restaurant critic from 1968 to 2002. After that she wrote a weekly column called "Insatiable Critic."
