The Kitchen
November 26, 2017

Why on earth would the 4 hosts be so very loud?
Would like to watch
Can't
The screaming and talking over each other is 100 times worse than the program " The View"
What the heck is wrong with them?

Old and tired!
May 1, 2021

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!

Does Sunny Anderson on The Kitchen ever shut up and let other talk on the show? She is so loud and annoying she destroys the show over powers the good ideas others have. Get her out of there...

Katie lee has to go!
April 20, 2021

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!

Jamie Oliver
August 2, 2017

Just saw "Jamie at Home" on Food Network. He was balancing 3 gourds on his shoulders. I thought that was pretty impressive till I realised one of them was his head!

Sunny Anderson go home
February 24, 2019

Sunny is loud, obnoxious and a pig. She talks over people, needs to be noticed and eats like a pig. The show would be so much better if she were gone.

Trisha's show has to go. She sounds like a cow at the trough when she eats at the end of her show, and there's her sister joining in doing the same thing. UGH.

BUDDY VS DUFF SHOW
March 14, 2020

Is anyone really going to watch Buddy vs Duff? I tried watching the 1st season and I WAS a fan of both teams - UNTIL I saw how much a big $#*! crybaby Buddy was being! One of the episodes he threw such a tantrum because he didnt win the challenge? He sat there throwing a baby huey fit because his cake was BIGGER in size and more work? 1st of all - that was NOT the challenge - the challenge was DETAILS!
I can not handle another season of him being such an arrogant $#*! - Like honestly they both do WONDERFUL beautiful cakes... They both make a outstanding living doing what they do -Why couldnt Buddy just enjoy the competition and the show as a good sportsmanship... He changed the way I look at him and his show from now on and unfortunately I am no longer interested in this show cause of him - GO DUFF!

Enough is enough, when President Trump was elected the smarmy "elite" tossed out the rule book but When some 3rd rate "comedian" and host of a 4th rate cooking show disrespects the 14 year old son of my President that's just too damn much, I am calling for a total boycott of all advertisers until heads roll and the president of food network goes on every news network and offers a heartfelt apology and the host in question is fired.

What happened to the cooking shows that teach how to cook?! I'm sick of reality cooking shows & challenges! I used to enjoy the real cooking shows but now don't like FN@ all! So sad!

Really?

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.

Camera angles
April 5, 2016

Why do the cameras focus on the person's face. I want to see WHAT they are doing. I can hear them while watching. Getting to the point where I will stop watching.

DDD is really getting old as is ridiculous shows such as Cuttroat Kitchen. I like The Kitchen because they at least give you kitchen hints. Giada's cooking is beyond what most people can do or afford and who cares who beats Bobby Flay. Both Giada and Bobby appear arrogant and phony. Give us some real chefs like Arron Sanchez, Emeril, Ina Garten and good cooks like Ree Drummond.

I love all your content (maybe too much BBQ) BUT watching the same show 3 times a day is very disappointing.
Some more variety in a 48hr cycle would be lovely.

I cannot believe how bad food network and cooking channel is. Do I really want to watch someone watch others making hamburgers over and over again, Diners, Driveins and Dives and You gotta eat here. NO! I want real cooking shows. The cooking channel is so bad also, it consists of old re-runs of shows and the worst new shows I have ever seen. IE, Rev's Run, Dinner at Tiffany's, Laura's cooking show, Patti Labelle, Cupcake wars (who eats ths junk), Cake Hunters etc etc.
Take a page out of GUSTO network! They have real cooking shows instead of the junk fillers the Food Network has. I have never wanted to eat anything that Giada De Laurentis has on her shows (especially that I heard she spits out her food, too busy showing off her boobs to eat), cake wars, on and on and on with crappy shows. Whoever is in charge of programming should be shot, or at least fired.

Too many Ds and Gs
June 10, 2016

It's time to remove DDD and GGG it is far too much to deal with all day Friday and every Sunday; I'm tired of it. There is no more Barefoot Contessa and The Pioneer Woman because it has become Guy Fieri network instead.

I love this show but agree that Sunny's loudness and sometimes snarky remarks to the other chefs detract from the show. I think Sunny says "Ya know what I'm sayin'" about hundred times per show!

I loved watching the food network. I would be inspired to cook for my family. Kids do not inspire me to make dinner.
I would turn on food network and leave it on for hours, not anymore

Overview

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.
