The show has become boring. The host aren't even showing that they taste the food. The hosts are giving the contestants criticism when they need to listen to their own advice. I feel bad writing it but as a person who loves to watch Food Network when I do get spare time, I want to watch a great show. Bobby and Giada probably have done what they could do and now they need replaced with people who can boost up the show. I think when they first started off they did great and now they are going down hill. It's kind of depressing to watch when they look like they don't want to be there.

The kitchen is a great opportunity for people to learn great shirt cuts and tips, but, the chefs are so busy telling each other how great the are that a lot of time is wasted. They are CHEFS, RIGHT. They are supposed to be good. And Jeff is so immature and silly, he ruins his part. There is a difference in humor and childish behavior. And noe Marcella is trying to compete with Giada in the who can shoe the most cleavage contest. This is a cooking show, not a strip show. Grow up people!

I used to watch "Food Network" religiously... back in the days of Emeril, Paula Dean, Barefoot Contessa, Trisha Yearwood ect... But Food Network can't hold our attention for even 15 seconds today. They have such an opportunity to grab some viewers these days and totally miss it with the ongoing boring "Drive ins Diners & Dives". Sorry Guy but you're a "has been". You should have done a "Jerry Sienfeld" and left when you were on top. I don't want to watch competition........ I want to watch cooking! HELP!

Food Network has really gone down the tubes. Don't get me wrong, I do watch some DDD but playing it for hours every day gets boring.
What's with all the competition shows? The only competition I loved was Iron Chef America. Halloween Wars is fun because it can only be done during October.
I miss "Good Eats", "30 Minute Meals" "Paula Deen", " The Pioneer Woman".
The Kitchen is good except for all the screaming. I like Sunny but she is so loud that when she starts, I mute it. Katie sometimes gets on my nerves but not much. Jeff can be loud and act like a kid too much. And, stop talking over people.
It also looks like Geoffrey Z is gritting his teeth and trying to tolerate it all.
GGG, Chopped, anything thing with kids or TV stars needs to go. You need to remove about 85% of your shows and replace them with cooks or chefs that have a passion for their craft that you can see that spark in their eyes when they cook.
Why do you still do "The Next Food Network Star"? The winners hardly ever have staying power.
I want cooking and good stories behind it. I don't need special effects and fancy lights. Just good, honest cooking.
Why get rid of Paula Deen? No one's perfect. But, Nancy Fuller is no Paula Deen and I feel that you're trying to convince us that she is the next Paula. She's not.
I used to have FN on my favorite channel list and had many shows on my DVR. No longer.
You're losing your fans. You better listen to them. Without all of us, you're going to go under.
FN, overhaul your channel.
We are hungry for something real.

As many before me have stated, the programming has changed for the worst. The game shows and the competitions are TERRIBLE! The kids cooking/baking/grilling is by far the most annoying television I have ever had the pleasure of changing the channel on! Come on! Kids that age barely have a palate past box macaroni and cheese. And the annoying commentating by these kids, that is clearly and poorly scripted is enough to make me want to ruin my perfectly good television.
I want to watch the "Food Network" to learn about and appreciate new tastes, techniques and ideas. I want to watch the experts do what they do! No one needs to be judged, (And don't get me started on the smug, evil eyeing, rude judges that make the rounds on these desperate shows).
I love Bobby Flay, he is your keeper. He's real, inspirational, diverse and not putting on the airs, dressing up in the theme, or smiling with all 32 teeth in his face while pronouncing each noodle, cheese or herb with a fake accent.
Please have a BIG executive meeting about what you think is the best content for your network and then do NONE OF IT! Instead, listen to the people and give them what they want! It's that easy!

You can put differnt shows instead of showing chopped dinners drive in and dives all the time apersons can watch just so much of those shows i used too like too watch the food network but not anymore

I am so sick of Valerie and Trisha and the rest of them telling us how awesome they are at cooking. Seriously? Just show us how to cook recipes that you obviously believe will turn out well (or else you wouldn't be broadcasting them -- duh), and be pleasant without continually telling us how wonderful your cooking is. And stop already with the My My My. Yes, Valerie, we know it's YOUR garlic going into YOUR pan to brown with YOUR onion that was peeled by YOUR peeler and that will eventually be poured into a pot with YOUR diced tomatoes, etc. etc. Blech, blech. For cryin' out loud -- watch your show and LISTEN to how annoying you sound? And pull back YOUR long hair--you know, like a true, hygienic cook would do.
