Why do I turn on The Food Network and see hours and hours of Guy F shows? Enough already!! I used to like his shows but not anymore. He never cooks just orders food or orders others to cook for him. Please, give the viewers a break...no more Guy!!
Seems like the focus is on the 2 Hosts and not on the chefs. They do nothing, that I have seen so far, to give them direction to change their attitudes and behaviors. They dump them into an already toxic environment and expect them to improve themselves? There is really no fair way for them to learn from their mistakes because they are "1 and done" and off the show. The one youngest chef needs professional help for his anger issues. Nothing there is going to help him. Hope it is now renewed.
Rachel Ray doesn't work in UK, too ebullient, too loud, doesn't fit UK... sorry, but not a good fit.

Been watching beat Bobby flay for over an hour. Can you please atleast mix it up, every episode has just been him winning. Idc what anyone says it’s rigged Editing my review 3 episodes later. Almost 4 hours of watching and it’s just all been Bobby flay. Cmon folks get it together
Food network really sucks they don’t care about women anymore instead they care about the men and it’s make me so mad and they don’t even care about it and it’s better change in 2025 if’s not I’m not even going to watch food network anymore if they don’t change it
Is this the Guy Fieri Network??? Y’all over here talking about get rid of Sunny how about get rid of Guy instead??? He’s literally everywhere??? All I see is Guy Guy Guy. Mans got way too many shows and that’s all Food Network shows is him. He’s literally so annoying and not even a chef. Put some real useful shows on here and stop shoving Guy everywhere on this network. He’s super overrated
Very poor customer service. I signed up (and paid) for a subscription over a year ago. I have never received an issue! Calls were made several times to c/s. I was assured I would receive the next issue....never did. Recently, my credit card was billed for a renewal because I had an automatic renewal on the subscription that I never received!
We ordered our Christmas Dinner of Standing Rib Roast Dinner for 8 from Gourmet Foods a project of the Food network. We ordered and paid on December 15, 2024 to be delivered on December 23, 2024. I tried to request information as to when the order would come or a tracking number for days. Finally we received an answer to our chat and email stating they would cancel the order and refund our money on 12/23/2024. We didn't have time to order from another catering service with less than 24 hrs. to Christmas Dinner. We tried to follow up today but have not gotten a satisfactory response as to when we can expect a refund. We think we're not alone. So, The food Network and it's Gourmet Foods site on Shop are a failure. Please refund our $129.00. UPDATE as of February 14, 2025 still have not seen a refund.
Unless your shows were filmed in 2020 or after quit showing them we are tired of watching reruns
Mine is specifically for the magazine - specifically the cookie one. First of all I paid $7 for this crap which is super thin now. Next, at least 1/2 of it is advertisements which is ridiculous. Lastly, I had to get to page 84 to finally reach a cookie recipe! Then there is 1 cookie recipe per page which stops at page 93 for a total of 10 cookies. What the heck is going on here?
Food Network on the TV is always messed up in the guide section. I’ll have playing the children’s baking show but yet the guide on the TV says it’s a totally different show. Also, I don’t like your app because now I have to go to foodnetwork.com and I’m not going to do that. The other thing is any of the recipes you try to print won’t print or you have to print about 50 pages just to get one lousy recipe. For that reason, I am quitting your Food Network TV shows, they’re becoming all crap, why don’t you get it for once? Also, why don’t you get some real judges that actually qualify to judge these shows. People like Kardea Brown, Ree Drummond, they have no right judging any of the structured type Christmas/Halloween challenges. These certain people are not qualified to judge. Also can’t stand Molly Yeh, she’s not fun to watch, she’s always acting weird!! Why don’t you put on more shows like Ina Garten, Giada, bring back Valerie Bertinelli’s show which was so good!!!! & A little bit more Professional chefs that don’t act stupid in front of the cameras!!! Ugh 😑 😞
The food Network is a joke they don't never really pick all black teams and if. there black on a team they always fine something wrong with something they do and the other teams if they fine something wrong or whatever they still will pick that them just to keep from picking a team with a black on it or a team with a black person on I would even be in contest if I was them I stop watching food Network
I quit watching it since it has gotten so bad the last two years. Was hoping this seasons, Halloween Wars, was going to get rid of the two females judges and bring back the original male judge. But NO, the two awful female judges are back. Quit watching and delete and took off recording it. I honestly think they want to destroy the network and just close it down.
Use to be a big fan of the Food Network programming in Canada with a good variety of shows with respectable hosts and presenters - a real focus on recipes, techniques and variety. The current programming is very poor. Most of the current programmings are either competitions and fake attempts at reality-based. So boring.
Why do you continue to run rerun episodes of Zakarian and Guanicelli ??? They are the worst personalities and cooks in your whole repertoire of chefs and cooks. You have so much talent that you just leave in the can unseen for years. Zakarian is always lost, and Alex Guanachelli is a raving, bitter, complainer with a constant scowl. I used to be one of your oldest followers I mean from day one, but your constant barrage casting of those two has been's has kept me away from your networks, totally. Your programming only reflects your lack of boots on the ground knowledge of your true fan base, and as far as I can figure they must be under contract with you and you're trying to squeeze every bit of worth you can from those two worthless line cooks.
Are Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay the only ones left on Food Network? There’s nothing to see but continual repeats of these two! Why? You have taken a good watchable experience and gotten rid of every favorable aspect. Did all the decent chefs leave so only obnoxious, annoying, talentless dolts like Jeff Mauro, Sunny Anderson, Ree Drummond, Molly Yeh, Katie Lee and Geoffrey Zakarian, etc remain? And Selena Gomez? What’s up with that? Not one worthwhile show on this dying shipwreck.
No longer the same, Ree Drummond is basically the only decent cooking show you have now. All the rest are games and contests. Need to bring back more cooking shows that teach and give recipes.
I used to watch food network all the time. But it’s no longer about learning new recipes and tips. I no longer like it at all.
When the Food Network started out they showed you how to cook. Now it's one reality show after another. How many times can you reinvent Bobby Flay. The last time I watched the Food Network was Live with Emeril.Now if you want to learn cooking techniques I watch PBS. Good bye FN.
