Over the course of two days, Irvine helps the restaurant staff come up with a new menu and renovates the restaurant with the help of the community.

The show is looking for paid “volunteers” to help with the restaurant remodel, as well as people who want to attend Moondoggy’s grand reopening.

Ten years ago, another Jacksonville-area restaurant was featured on “Restaurant: Impossible.” In 2011, the Secret Garden Cafe on Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville got the Chef Irvine treatment.
