Sunny Anderson is rude, not funny and way to agreesive. Her behavior is beyond the point OF distasteful. Anything she is on I will have to DVR so I can fast forward when she comes on.
Sunny Anderson absolutely ruins the Kitchen! She is loud, rude and obnoxious! She shouts over everyone else, eats like a pig! There are times that I have turned the show off because of her. She needs to tone it down!
OMG please please get rid of that annoying loud, know it all. She thinks she does everything better than anyone else, always has a comment. She kisses up to JZ. I really don't watch The Kitchen any longer because of her. And just so you know I love the show but can not stand her.
Thanks for listening.
I mostly just watch in the morning- its the only time you can actually see a cooking show.when the competition shows start- the channel changes.same chefs over and over.it sucks anymore
Everyone can complain about watching the best of the best either compete or teach or guess what they have as fellow chefs judge or whatever they do...if your on here b#!#hing about what the producers or chefs need to come up with for you while you watch them for 30min/1hr plus I am assuming we shall (I) say it of the normal busy life we all hold... some and some not... the newest attempts at shows they are putting on air its all good i learn from the mishaps and successes...I am giving them a try...I would love to have a spot just throw me to the wolves I will cook like I do daily...I have learned allot from fiere and flay all of them... stop being A@@ holes people... learn from the experience...
Dishes are the worst! Within 4 months, white dishes are scratched and turning black. Sent 2 emails with photos to customer service and they never responded. Purchased at Kohl's and they won't help me either.
Get rid of Sunny Anderson she is useless other than to put food in her mouth. Of all chefs to be picked for be a captain on BBQ Brawl why her she is not even a real chef. 100's of other chef could have been a much better pick. She has a big mouth and talks over everyone rude and interrupts everyone. Get her off the Kitchen I can not stand listening to her talk.
It was a sad day in my house when we discovered Guy Fieri was a trumper, how can Guy buy into someone who is so dishonest and corrupt? Guy is not the person we thought he was. Diners Drive Inns and Dives and all of Guy's shows are dead to us. Goodbye, Food Network, his were pretty much the only shows on your channel we watched, but we watched his shows all the time. DDD is dead.
Every time I see a Beat Booby Flay show that features Katie Lee, I turn the channel. The food network has opted to NOT edit the mean comments Katie Lee makes to Bobby on this show, allowing her to say immature and unkind things like ""Nobody likes you", apparently not feeling empathy or compassion for the out-of -bounds nasty attitude she resorts to in the name of competition.
If Katie can get away with this poor behavior in front of millions of viewers, what is she like in real life?
Now, even though Katie does not seem to act that way on the Kitchen, I don't enjoy that show anymore.

I am unbievably upset that the food network is taking Valerie off the air. She is vibrant and so fun to watch. There are many other show that are boring and very blaah. Take off Pioneer Woman never anything new just the same old standard food menus. Put on Southern gal she and Farm girl need more air time. They are interesting and new ideas all the time.
This morning my husband and I watched the episode of Rule Breaking recipes. My husband never says anything negative about anything but she even had him yelling at the tv telling her to SHUT UP! She was at her most obnoxious. We were trying to figure out if she was off her drugs or on them. More obnoxious than usual. She honestly gave me a headache. She's still as gross with her eating. I thought maybe the network would get her to act like the rest of the cast. Normal. But they haven't. I know I'm not the only one that has complained. In fact this is the second time. PLEASE do something with her!
I love The Kitchen!, but lately why does Sunny have to be so loud, over powering, obnoxious, and down right annoying? Watching the look on the other chef's faces, I know they feel the same! I used to love watching her cook, telling her stories of growing up, etc., she was very relatable….what has happened?
Today May 20,2023 I actually turned the volume off to finish watching the show!
Please don't put her on Chopped I love that show but she is so rude I can't watch her anymore she picks at contestants to almost making them cry so sad
Love pioneer woman old episodes.
Pandemic ones where children run camera sucks. Sketches commercial in Spanish sucks this is America for Krips sake! Get rid of this commercial! Get rid of the kitchen it sucks! Where did ina gartens shows go? And that farm lady's shows? You get rid of the good shows only to give us crap shows!
I can't believe you are canceling Valerie Bertinelli show which is a great show and instead you force Alex G down our throat. Alex has no personality and is awkward and her interaction with other people. But we keep her, even though her viewing audience is not good. But we cancel Valerie Bertinelli, who is easy to listen to easy to watch and easy to see her interaction with other people. Is anybody home? I have stopped watching Food Network and started watching the Cooking Channel. I've had all the Bobby, Flay and Guy, Fieri, and Alex going to Alex G I can take. Is anybody home?
I am so tired of 10 hours of Diners Drive-ins and Dives, Guy's Grocery Games, Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped, etc. Love the people, but this is THE LAZIEST network! I want new programs with new recipes, ideas, and tips/instructions. I want to be looking forward to learning new things. Stop with the reruns and give us new programs! And why did you cancel Valerie Bertinelli? Bring back a new show with Rachael Ray or anyone entertaining! I'm exhausted by all the competition shows. Do better, y'all are just lazy!
150 back to back episode Diners - Drive Ins - blah blah. Can't the producers create NEW content? All the talent in the US and they produce the same #@$% over and over and over. Spring baking championships. It used to be good but then someone decided to have absurd challenges. Who cares if someone can create a cake using tree bark. Have meaningful challenges that audiences can relate to. The talent has also gone down. Overall the Food Network has crashed. It's become awful
I love the kitchen. I also think Sonny Anderson is so annoying I have actually considered just not watching it anymore. Has she never learned to just pass the plate to the next person instead of plowing and before everyone else or instead of anybody else because there will be three people down the line that haven't even been passed a plate if she happened to have gotten her hands on it first.
It seems to me that the food network wants an all white network. Miss Brown is as good a chef as the girl meets farm and the pioneer woman.
Please ask the chefs on The Kitchen to keep their elbows OFF the table/counter when they are eating!I I watchThe Kitchen all the time and I would think they know better.
Thank you,
Sandy Harris

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?
