Restaurant Impossible, the hit Food Network show hosted by Robert Irvine, will be in Baton Rouge this week to film an episode at Mama Della’s N.Y. City Pizzeria.
Though the episode won’t be released until this fall, the restaurant will be getting off to an interesting start in 2014 with a two-day makeover that is scheduled to take place January 9 and 10.
If anybody would like to volunteer to be a part of the remodeling crew, you need to email [email protected] by Monday with FN BATON ROUGE VOLUNTEERS in the subject line. Include your name, shift or shifts you’d like to work, and a phone number. Work shifts will be 1 p.m.- 8 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Thursday to 2 a.m. Friday and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday. Volunteers will paint, craft, construct, remodel, clean and decorate. Skilled contractors such as electricians, plumbers and painters are also encouraged to volunteer. Volunteers are asked to wear comfortable clothes and closed toe shoes or boots with no logos.
