I would love to see a vegetarian or vegan show! There is a large community out there that would appreciate it!
Congratulations! With Martha Stewart you have found the only woman in the world who is more smug than Ina Garten. When I see This Woman as a judge, I change the channel.
My friends and I really love the Kitchen however we cannot take Jeff M anymore. He is so forced, immature and not funny. The show would be much better without. Turning off until hes replaced.
I enjoy watching baking shows and have always enjoyed the (Whatever season) Baking Championship. I am very sick, however, of Nancy Fuller and those ridiculous glasses on top of her head plus the fact she seems to go out of her way to disagree with Lorraine regardless of what is said. And now I am finding Duff Goldman to be increasingly nasty! Not only does he look like a slob but he is making snarky, sarcastic remarks on an increasing bases. And, to top it all off, I really don't care for Clinton Kelly as a host. I'll continue to watch because I enjoy "contest" shows but I'd sure like to see some changes made.
COULD YOU POSSIBLY QUIT SHOWING SOME MANY OF THESE SHOWS. ALL DAY ON SATURDAY N SUNDAY. I HAVE GOT TO WHERE I'M SICK OF THIS SHOW AND BEAT BOBBY FLAY. BEAT BOBBY FLAY IS SO FAKE ANYONE CAN TELL IT
I am a huge fan of Food Network, my favourites being Pioneer Woman, Barefoot Contessa and anything with Po and Jamie Oliver.
I have just watched Farmhouse Rules Romance at 2000 feet... it was dreadful. The dynamic between husband and wife appears unnatural and fake. Annoying music and over the top 'acting'. Will definitely not be tuning in again to this show.
The food network show "worst cooks in America" is AWFUL! It was decent in the beginning when it had Bobby Flay on it... but now its a cruel JOKE. Ann Burrell only likes to demean people, not teach, and now that they have paired her with the arrogant Tyler Florence its absolutely sickening! No wonder that pair is the only one who have lasted more than one season... they are so bad they could only put up with each other. Cancel that show or put some dignity back into it!
So very disappointing. The judging should have been the same for all 3 rounds- same judges, not an extra judge added for the final round. Its just not right.
I think Alton did David in. I am not even going to watch the next one.
I am a Food Network lover, and The Kitchen is the show I most look forward to, with the exception of Sunny! I find her annoying! From her ridiculous make-up to her eating... Why does the network not see this? She's too outspoken, NOT funny and obnoxious.
If you want to keep the show alive, please replace her... or viewers like me will drift off.
I just watched a cooking show with Valerie and I couldn't believe she wore a low cut blouse (yes, boobs showing) Maybe she's trying to take after Giada. She's said on one of her show " because I'm Italian I"ll add garlic". What's being Italian have to do with the garlic. Please quit giggling and talking to your food.
I love this show, except for Sunny. I try to teach my children good manners but when Sunny eats with her mouth open and can not wait her turn to eat it is very hard to as they notice Sunny and her very bad manners. It is one thing to be a pig but she is a hog, and a rude one at that. Please give her a few pointers on being a lady.
These guys that travel to restaurants, even before they start chewing they say "oh my god so delicious, never a bad word in years, how could every restaurant be perfect? What a joke these shows are including "you gotta eat here" phoney phoney
I used to watch this channel earlier on when they actually cooked and gave recipes. Now nothing but competitive shows chopped, baking wars, beat Bobby FLay. Worst cook in America this show is plain stupid. Nothing but repetitive shows. Get back to really cooking. I refuse to watch Giadia, I do not want heavy clevage with my cooking. I would rather watch PBS on Saturday for all day cooking recipes.
OVERBEARING, AND EXTREMELY LOUD MOUTHS. The cast act like a bunch of loud children playing at pretend. They are VERY ANNOYING to watch, and listen too. I have deleted watching this program completely!
So tired of watching hours and hours of the same shows! Between Chopped, DDD, and Food, fact or fiction on the cCooking Channel, I switched to PBS create, where I can see chefs actually cooking. FN used to be one of my favorite channels, but not an6 more.
I used to love food network, the kids watched the shows, I saved the recipes, awesome. But lately, I'm sorry to say, they have sold out to corporate advertising and mainstream blakhhh... The site is slow! Full of advertisements! I hate it. I'm out!
I quit watching FoodNetwork a month or so ago when I tried to watch Chopped and had to watch the exact same, long, boring commercial of a bartender making a stupid drink... over and over and over again. The final straw was when it played two times back to back. So, same commercial ran 8-9 times during the show... only that commercial. What overpaid exec. Thought that was going to be a good idea? No thanks. None of your shows are worth that obnoxiousness.
They feminized the channel. The only shows I watch are the kitchen and Beat Bobby Flay. As far as I'm concerned the channel is dead. Now I watch Top Chef from Canada, what a great show. Food channel has been redesigned for children, women, and gay people. There are just so many negative things to say about the Food Channel now. And I like I said I watch Top Chef, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. Once in a while I watch Anthony Bourdain, great show not on the Food Channel. Sara Moulton not on the Food Channel. Jacque Pepin not on the Food Channel. I don't know who's running the Food Channel but they killed it.!
Valerie Bertinelli is not even a chef, that's apparent. Some of the things she says is just wrong, and her fake laugh is really annoying. And nothing she says is fresh or new. Horrible show!
Watching this from Australia in 2018. So far I've seen every show a MINIMUM of four times. It plays at night, repeats in the morning, afternoon, and I'm lucky enough to catch it AGAIN tonight as it's the weekend. And god forbid you catch the "Small Business Secrets" segment. You'll see that every day for a week at least! Y'all need to just take this rubbish channel back. Can safely say most of Australia doesn't want it anymore.
Answer: I agree! So boring. I used to try.to cook recipes but it's gotten truly silly.
Answer: Get rid of by the rude Overeating NO MANNER PIG SUNNY ANDERSON!
Answer: Well if you want to be taken seriously then learn how o spell that is first! What is "standers"? Do you mean "STANDARDS"? And it is NOT "lier" it is "liar".
Answer: She yells every time she opens her mouth. Says "know what I'm saying..." incessantly, purports crappy recipes, talks with her mouth full, and attacks every concoction like a starved dog. What's not to like?
