Producers are currently casting for "Restaurant: Impossible" Season 3, and they're looking for local contenders.

"Restaurant: Impossible" focuses on restaurants in need of a boost in customers, reviews and revenue, according to a news release.

Currently Season 2, hosted by Chef Robert Irvine, airs in the 10 p.m. time slot Wednesdays on Food Network.

So how do you enter?

Full-service restaurants with at least 50, but no more than 250, seats may apply. According to a news release, casting directors look for restaurant owners with strong, outgoing personalities, who are willing to overhaul their menu, decor and theme.

If picked, the host takes $10,000 in the course of two days to overhaul the restaurant.
