I really like Martha but hated ‘Chopped Martha Rules'. Will never watch Chopped again if she's on as a guest judge.
I used to watch to learn - and now all I see is Sonny cutting up a scallion. Plus the "chefs" use frozen and processed crap! The Kitchen has run its course - dump it!
I have always enjoyed watching Pioneer Woman, but will not after the episode shown this morning. A teen who was filming in her kitchen openly displayed the White Supremacy sign in a very obvious, exaggerated way. Because it was not edited out, that portrays the feeling of the show. I'd like to cancel my subscription because Food Network is encouraging hate tactics by allowing this.
Worst Chopped show I've ever seen. We've. Been Food Network fans for years. I've always watched Chopped and have learned a lot. But the Martha Stewart Rules competition made me turn it off. The format is ridiculous, it seems all she wants to do is show her "power"... won't watch it again until she's off the show. She appears supercilious, haughty, and not like the other judges we see frequently. She has ruined Chopped in my opinion. Come on Ted Allen, get rid of her! You have a great show without her!
So sick of watching Guy Fieri night after night after night all night long? Why don't you just change the name of the network to guy fieri ad nauseum!
What happened to all the fun little shows like Baker vs Faker and Cooks vs Cons?
There must be more talent and variety available somewhere in this Network!
Used to be one of my favorite channels and now hardly ever watch. Loser!.
I can not stand Katie lees nasil voice! Shes after every bite and always has to get her hand in the food first! Plus almost every show she says the same thing: "MY MOUTH IS WATERING!"
She must have an ocean of water in that mouth! Can't she say any other comment when shes liking food?
DISCUSTING!
I like the magazine, but you only need but so many. I was given this mag as a gift. Come find out, if I do not contact them myself, my subscription doesn't run out, they just keep on sending their mag then send you a bill. Try as I may, there is No Way to contact a person. I tried the # that was on my bill, you get 2 options and if the options are not why you are calling, you will be hung up on by a robo. The I tried to get a n# through the internet and that # is invalid. This is a racket! The company knows exactly what they are doing and should be turned in to the BBB. I had to contact my brother about this as I cannot get in due to, He bought the subscription for me. What a Racket! A money making Scheme. I don't want their mag. Just because of how they conduct their company. They pull you in then fleece you with another year subscrition because They Won't Stop Sending you their mag. Of course, unless you catch that one invoice that gives you that oportunity to stop them. I call that a Scheme. I will be looking out for that One envelope sometime between Dec to March, maybe April. I wouldn't know since I did not subscribe myself.
I used Iron Chef, Alex, deviled eggs with hot sauce - was not good and a lot of trouble - left with huge amt of filling - after, saw note way at end that recipe had been revised! Why don't you take it OFF! Not using Food Network!
It used to be a great network. Now it's all Guy Feri. He's OK but, there are a lot of other shows they could air.
I've been a fan for years. I have a health condition so TV is my entertainment. I'm also on a fixed income. Now to have to pay more than what cox cable already charges is a no go so I will not be able to watch you any longer. I'm extremely upset.
Used to love Sat and Sun morning shows with different chefs/cooks. Not anymore. Almost all are repeats of same chefs/cooks. Old and tired. I do not watch anymore. Food Network really needs new programming to remain viable.
Watching Cakesalike on food network and do not like all the stupid comments. And the laughing. It is out of control. The show would be a hit in my book if you change the hosts
I just watched Cakealikes for the first time tonight, Jan. 17,2021. This show was a very poor representation of the quality of shows on Food Network. The hosts were silly and uncouth. The comments, banter, and ridiculous laughter made you feel as if you were at a street corner production with inexperienced hosts. I have watched many shows over the years and this is by far absolutely the worst. I pray this is not the quality viewers can expect in the future. LBG
I want to know why theres a disparity of Whites and Blacks on your network. The Whites overpower the screen as if they are the only group who can cook. Im sick of everytime I tune in I see the same old faces time and again. I want to see more people like me. Why dont Eddie Jackson and G. Garvin have their own show. Guy, bobby Flay, Giada, Alex, and that damn Pioneer woman are not the only faces who should occupy the cooking stage. You need to add more Black stars because I know African Americans have a rich heritage of cooking and putting flavors together. This is ridiculous. And where is the Black lady who won Next food network Star a few years back? Where is she? And Im sick of watching most of the Blacks getting eliminated first from the competitions. As one viewer already stated, I am sick Of watching Guy and Bobby Flay among some others taht you have on all of the time. Black people can cook and can present just as well in front of the camera!
El internet por cable va muy bien y los datos van bien si quieren porque a veces estando en mi habitación hay una barrita de señal y a los 2 minutos hay 5 barritas, además el wifi no llega muy lejos con el l router ese pero en general estoy medio satisfecho
This show is unwatchable!
Sunny is the most annoying person on the show. She's WAY Over the top, loud, abrasive and you just know she is a confrontational person. We all know why she is on the show - strictly diversity. There I said it.
If she was any other race, she wouldn't be on Food Network at all! Katie is nice to look at but she is not a chef. She is on the show because of her looks, not talent.
Jeff Mauro - no way he acts like that normally. His overly gooshy, maudlin, emotional ways and constant lame/obvious comments are grating. He loves to hear himself talk! Just happened to catch an episode of The Kitchen with him singing, or trying to. Was like a train wreck. HORRIBLE!
What is this show trying to be?
THE KITCHEN HAS BECOME A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND IS NOT WATCHABLE.
Overall I bet the Food Network's viewership is declining and it's because of dumb shows and the hosts. It seems like there are few real cooking shows. Chances are if you go to FN, it will be some dumb competition show.
Sad. The Food Network used to be a go to channel full of good interesting cooking shows.
Ok, everyone STOP tip-toeing around why Sunny is loud, gready, talking out of turn... we all know this is a sign she needs uhmmm... human contact, a MAN to calm her down, redirect that desire for being gready to craving something else... it is so obvious until it is painful to watch her... she will be a WHOLE different person with a good night in bed with someone/something better than ice cream!
I enjoy some of the recipes, but navigating the app requires the patience of a monk. If there is any consistency in its application it is that I am never sure where it will take me. The app appears written by high school geeks wanting to appear smarter than the cool crowd they aspire to. If I didn't have several recipies saved I would NOT renew my subscription.
The First Season of Christmas Holiday War with Jason and Shimini was great. Format was great, I am not sure if anyone else would agree but the 2nd season seems to be a group of dysfunctional teams where the first team sent home from season 1 could wipe the floor with this seasons teams.
I always look forward to the Holiday Baking Championship! Duff is fabulous and encouraging with the contestants. I miss seeing Lorraine P. On the show this season.
Did that mean old Nancy run her off? Nancy is weird feeding the host and is unprofessional when she disagrees with Lorraine. Take Nancy off and put Lorraine, Duff and Carla on.:)
This show gets me looking forward to the holidays!
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?
