The saving grace for Food Network are the actual cooking shows such as: Girl Meets Farm, The Kitchen, Mary Makes It Easy, Jet Cooks, Pioneer Woman, Symon Dinners. I will stop whatever I am doing at home to watch these shows! What happened to Ina Garten? Miss her. Let’s have Indian food cooks back on. Pleeeeease! Enough with the reality tv competition among chefs. I despise them.
is there anyone more obnoxious than Sunny Anderson? I refuse to watch she's in, including season 4 and 5 of BBQ Brawl. Also, if I'm binging Beat Bobby Flay, I'll skip over any episode she's on. She's loud, mouthy and totally disgusting. I don't know how she's been on the Food Network for so long!!
Please get rid of Sunny Anderson. She is so spiteful & hateful. I have stopped watching BBQ brawl & The Kitchen. I am a Southern woman & can't take her nastiness, especially about Bobby's crispy rice. I'm over it. I love all of the other shows, but enough of her hatefulness.

Sunny is a disgrace! She is always too loud not giving other hosts and presenters an opportunity to be Heard! Only her loud guffaws and laughing or stuffing her mouth and always grabbing center stage! Always trying to upstage GZ or Jeff who are the real ches. PLEASE get her off. Not to mention how she puts down Bobbie Flay and tries to make him look bad - not with humor - but with her ghetto personality! Not to mention her big butt is always in the way!
Selena Gomez again? Cringy, insecure Selena who starts off as a train wreck ditz in the kitchen. Someone owed someone else a favor to produce this girl. I have a hard time even listening to her speaking voice. Was that also the agreement to have her sidekick friend to dress quite plain for TV, so she doesn't overshoot Selena's outfits? I also agree with others that Pioneer Woman and Guy plus Bobby should not dominate the time slots. Time to hire a better show picker cause that team is stuck in the repetitive talent scheduling.
The network has a few good shows, but they need to bring their website up to speed. When we travel to cities throughout the country, I typically (try) to search for great restaurants. I currently have to plow through each show to see if they visited any local establishments for review. Welcome to 2024 - how about listing all the cities where reviews have been done regardless of the show.
Please do something about Sunny. She is constantly talking over the other hosts, and is obnoxious. I was watching the other day and could not hear what Katie was adding to the recipe due to Sunny loud mouth. It was so bad that Katie even stopped talking waited for Sunny to shut up and then proceeded. Maybe there is only a need for 4 hosts- Katie, Alex, Jeff and GZ.
Every show has Alex and Sunny. Neither I care for. Alex is negative. Sunny loves flirting with the camera and doesn’t shut up. I’m not watching much anymore.
I am getting tired of seeing Alex G on all your shows. Do u guys not have enough hosts? Love Spring Baking Champianship show. I watch it every season. Thx fr having it on.
I do NOT like the lineup of chefs. I enjoy the Pioneer Woman, Valerie's Home Cooking, Girl Meets Farm, Barefoot Contessa, Delicious Miss Brown. What makes me VERY unhappy is those awful cooking episodes of Guy's (multiple shows), competition cooking, Tournament of Champions, etc. Please BRING back Valerie's Home Cooking, not sure why her fantastic show got canceled. 'shame on your Food Network Channel producers' All the other good chefs are leaving for Peacock, etc networks. Focus on improving your channel's rating!!!!
I enjoy watching the competition shows - Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, etc - but I have to agree with the other reviewers. Hunter Fieri has to go. Nepotism at its worst. No talent. No personality. He simply stands there and plays no role. He's an insult to the other chefs who actually earned their stripes. I do like Sophie Flay. At least she knows the city scene and has a personality you want to watch. I'm not a fan of Giardia. She was simply born into a family with a name and has never owned a restaurant in her lift. Her recipes are mediocre at best. So she grew up in Rome - who cares? It's sad when you have to rely on a low cleavage to get ratings. Put the girls away.
I have have become very disappointed in the Kitchen show these days. I love Katie Lee and Geoffrey Zakarian, but Jeff Mauro absolutely drives me nuts, talking like a child with all of his little abbreviations in his cooking time (I.e.: delish, etc.) He actually thinks he’s so funny but he’s actually very boring. I would watch Katie Lee and Geoffrey Zakarian all day long, but between Jeff Morrow and Sunny, I’m find myself turning the show off more often than watching it anymore. Sunny has hair that’s always hanging over her food. I thought chefs always pulled their hair back so their hair doesn’t fall into the food. And Jeff is just plain too corny for me. Both Sunny and Jeff seem to get more airtime on the show than Katie or Geoffrey. I think you have that backwards, although I believe Sunny is the host of the show. That’s too bad.
I used to love the kitchen . Now I cannot watch anymore because of sonny, disrespectful obnoxious rude loud mouth. She must forget she is wearing a mic. She has to rudely insert herself into the other hosts segments. Her mouth never stops. And she is very obnoxious in presence. She seems to need to eat like animal. My children had better manners at 3 years old. Can’t stand to watch until she is gone!!!!!!
Not what it used to be.
Not what I expected but ok service!
i love your site, and how its easy to view your landing page
I just want to state that at this season of the fall, October 11th, that turning on the food network and seeing only pumpkin carving contests of ghoul-focused challenges, becomes really trite and boring. Halloween is OK as a single focus of the season, but farm-to-table, harvest, season-end cooking and harvests around the world is far more interesting than the singular ridiculous focus on Halloween. How American! How mercenary and conventional. Boring, trite, ahem, superficial. Please, raise the bar of professionalism of the food network.
