When did the food network become all about competition? Remember a time when you could watch this channel and actually learn how to make delicious dishes? So tired of the competition shows. Over this channel!
Watched booby Flay's new show with his daughter. Tolerating Flay's obnoxious overinflated ego was bad enough without adding the nepotism on top of it. I'm done with food network. Guy's triple D used to be tolerable until he started babysitting his kids on TV. This network is nothing about food or cooking anymore. It's about catering to Ego's undeserving egos and daddy's nepotism. Worried your kids can't get a job?? It's called college you bums.

As a longtime viewer of the Food Network I’ve become so disappointed in the programming. It’s all game shows now and we’ve lost those informative and interesting cooking shows where we watch chefs and cooks create delicious dishes and give us ideas. I’m sick of Guy Fieri, Sunny Anderson and the damn pioneer woman. Seriously, it seems all production stopped during Covid except for her and none of it has come back yet. Instead, it’s all going to those stupid food competitions. Please get back to your roots so I can watch again.
Same chefs over and over… nothing new . Same old rubbish that !!
Long standing fan of food network! I rarely watch food network anymore. Reason being, I enjoyed DDD and GGG in the beginning, but since the start of the pandemic it seems that food network has nothing else to air!!! I’m sooooo tired of seeing them that I pass right over the network when searching for something to watch! Over the years the network pushed too much Emeril, then Rachael Ray, now Guy Fierri.....I’m bored, move on, get creative plz!
I have been SO disappointed with Food Network shows lately. One of the biggest examples is the obvious favoritism on Beachside Brawl!! You should have just said “here Tiffany” take the win and sent everyone home during the first episode, instead you just keep changing the rules to benefit Tiffany and her East Coast team over and over.
Delicious high quality plates, selection of wines and great service. We tried all their entrees, one of their desserts, and everything was de-li-cious. Highly recommended.
I miss Cutthroat Kitchen
So sick of Guy Fieri every time I turn of the Food Network. What happened to all the old fashion cooking shows. What is with putting his son Hunter on the shows with him. If I turn in Food Network and see Guy I changed the channel. Enough already. It has turned into The Guy Fieri Network. Absolutely ridiculous.
The taste were good but service is Okay
If I could give a zero, I would. Just tried to watch the new Food Truck Race. It’s so obvious that outrageous gay teams are preferred. Please rename the show to something like “The Great Gay Food Truck Race.” This way I won’t have to waste my time. I’m tired of this lifestyle being shoved down my throat!
I really like Guy Fieri and watch all his shows that he is in. However, I am getting tired of the nepotism on display with his family being apart of all his shows. I think it is wonderful that he has a close knit family but to include his kids in his shows which add no value other than to saying if you have a popular dad you get to be on tv too. The kids really do not have the credibility of being in the business or working for their roles. I think it is a real shame when the Food Network can't find true up and coming talent who have worked for their position and not just had it handed to them
Molly Yeh is not a great host for the Speing Baking Championship. Sue comes across very fake, not engaging and a bit ridiculous (cookie salad…really?!?) Find a new host please.
Since Ree Drummond started having her children & their boyfriends, husbands assume the role of camera crew, the show has lost its value as a cooking show. It is now a platform to highlight her kids and use the time 90% for chitchat. We used to enjoy the show and found it educational but now can only watch it for perhaps 2 minutes before we're so annoyed we change channels.
I have to agree with most of these posts. Food Network is not what it use to be, which was a FOOD channel not a game station. And it's totally obvious that the rich cooking entertainers on the Food Network have made most of these programs about themselves. These shows are a self centered, glorified programs not so much about cooking but "how GREAT I AM plus look at all my parties." I don't watch the food channel to watch partying. And now entertainers that can't make it in the entertainment world, they think they can cook. Just because an entertainer can follow a recipe shouldn't make them a professional cook with their own cooking show. Oh brother! The cooking fan want real cooking. It's all so sad.
Ree Drummond has officially strained my last FNW nerve! Her voice and her snorting are annoying enough BUT the women doesn't cook!!!
I really liked Antonia Lafaso and her cooking...right up until you showed what a disgusting brat she is. I really can't believe her attitude and disposition towards her competitors...that she loses to. Being a competitor is one thing but degrading your opponent only shows how classless you are. Please don't put her on your cooking shows
Why does Giada have to wear such low cut shirts to show off her boobs?? Is that what the network is coming to? All that is on now is food competitions and no really good cooking shows. YouTube has taken over the cooking part of Food Network!! I watch more You Tube than anything!! I do love to watch Micheal Symons outdoor cooking show. It’s the best show you have!
