Get rid of all the old show hosts who weren't any good as chefs. Get rid of the game shows. Get rid of the kids. Better yet get rid of the executives who are running this disaster of a network. I wish someone would start up a real food channel.
I generally enjoy watching FN but watching Judy Joo eating LIVE seafood recently was absolutely disgusting. I understand that Koreans have no regard for animal welfare but to subject FN viewers to this was wrong. Also Judy is the most annoying TV chef ever with her saccharine, sweet and inane grinning and that annoying American twang. She sounds like a female Lloyd Grossman and really grates on my nerves.
This rating is specifically for the Black History Month episode which I personally found absolutely insulting based on the generic ingredients provided to the African American Chefs. Any black home cook could have easily created a worthy meal with these items, yet Food Network felt the need to dumb down the ingredients for this particular episode with skilled, experienced African American Chefs. Please recognize and do better.
We really enjoy food network, but this show is awful! Courtney Rada is trying way too hard, and the show is flat and uninteresting. I sincerely hope Food Network sees this and makes this the shortest run ever of any new show in Food Network history. Guy Fieri she is NOT!
It is almost impossible to track down a recipe on a show you might be watching. See below. When you look up an episode there are no recipes links available. So frustrating!
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!
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!.
All I ever see is DDD and Chopped and today it's The Kitchen all morning. And I'm sick of every B level celebrity having their own show. Where is the cooking? And as for the sister network Cooking it is even worse. This morning it is Food Quest with Robin Leach. He is painful to look at and has nothing NOTHING of value to say.
Food Network is a multi million dollar Co. With cable, internet and other social media avenues, such as, Twitter & Facebook. Obviously you show case the best of the best, chefs & cooks. Such as. Guy Fieri, Ina Garten, Ree Drummond, Valerie Bertinelli, Trisha Yearwood and more. With plenty of new and up coming STARS all the time. Why are you charging to put recipes on your site? I have picked up another site that does not charge! Times are hard enough! Thanks, for what. What? I loved you site. Been loyal for years & years. I've had friends join your site. Sorry I'm leaving & my friends are leaving your site, for another friendly, free site! Would like to hear something back!
Sincerly,
Your loss!

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.
I was watching The Kitchen" on Jan 31, and Jeff Morrow was making scones. "JZ" made a comment that "Italians drink Prosecco like water!" To me, as an Italian, is very offensive! Zarkarian is known for his arrogant attitude, but this went too far. There is no way to get a message to the network itself. Except for Ina, Valerie, and Ree, I'm done with this channel.
Missing the cooking shows. I am a fan of the competition shows, however not when it is Chopped ALL day long followed by a marathon of yet another cooking competition. Cake Wars, Holiday Baking Championship, Beat Bobby Flay I do enjoy and REALLY miss the original cooks/chefs. Bring back Ina, Michael, Mario, Giada, Sandra Lee etc. Mix it up a bit. We have enough competitions in the world, why can't we keep true to our cooking?
I am loving most all of Food Network. Not too excited about the Kids Baking Championship, but it certainly works for those kids. Love Guy Fieri, except the Triple D episodes. It's great for the businesses, but the tempo of the episodes is too much for me. I love Triple G, Tournament of Champions, The Kitchen, Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped and now I'm enjoying Super Chef Grudge Match. Darnell is is a great narrator and very authentic. Very entertaining, keeps me on the edge of my seat. Hope to continue to see these programs, as well as Flay with his daughter, Giada anywhere, and of course Alton Brown. Thanks for the great programming!
Whomever is doing your weekly, monthly or whatever program lineup is a complete idiot! Same shows, same lame repeat episodes ALL THE TIME! Really sick of Guy, Bobby, and that loud mouth Sunny Anderson.
I love to watch Chopped on the Food Network but immediately lose interest when the AG HAG- Alex Guarnaschelli - is a judge. What has she actually accomplished in her career (other than get lucky on Iron Chef) to qualify her for this task of judging ANYONE else's food? She is most critical of the talented female chefs who compete on Chopped because she is aware she cannot compete against them. She literally has nothing positive to say about anyone she is threatened by. Go home Alex and continue eating your weight in food every day and leave the real cooking to the gifted professionals.
At the rate the Kitchen is going it won't be a show. Sunny won't come off that grill it's called the kitchen it's not called the grill and, what about the people who aren't grillers or don't like too cook on a grill, what are they learning from Sunny every week? They don't share their food like they used to. Anyone can compliment their own cooking. It time to get back to the basics and Sunny needs to come back inside.
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...
Used to love Food Network more when it was really about the FOOD! I don't mind reality shows, especially ones that showcase different restaurants, BUT I am so fed up with the Next Iron Chef crap! It's completely rigged, and favors the Food Network judges from OTHER competition shows (i. E. Zakarian). It's completely incessed!
Why do you have so much reality, I watched your channel for instructional as well this is getting worse, we want our instructional back in the morning
I hate any show with Bobby Flay. He is annoying & only wins because he puts chilis in everything & judges choose him so they will be invited back. He can't even cook.
I am seriously concerned that FN gives Giada a stage. She is obviously suffering from anorexia or some other eating disorder. She is not a role model for young girls & women.
Sunny Anderson is awful. She shouts, chews with her mouth open & stuffs her face. I turn the volume down & leave the room when she is on.
I hate Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. How many slop recipes must they show?
Robert Irvine? There are no words... retching sound.
I love Ina. She is interesting, actually teaches as she cooks, & is classy.
Valerie is fun. I tune in for her.
I hate Ree Druumond. What a lot of slop. Ugh.
I like Anne Burrell & Tyler Florence. They are real chefs.
If I could choose a chef-owned restaurant to visit, it'd probably be Marc Murphy's. He should have his own show. Alex G, also.
They sre the real thing.
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?
The company's reputation is increasingly tarnished by customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from perceived declines in programming quality and a lack of engaging content. Viewers express frustration over repetitive shows, perceived arrogance from hosts, and a shift away from the original cooking-centric focus. Additionally, customers report poor customer service, citing unresponsive support regarding issues such as lost recipes. While some fans still appreciate select shows, the overall sentiment indicates a longing for a return to the network's foundational values of culinary education and inspiration, suggesting a need for significant content and service improvements.
