I am soon going to write off Food Channel. I am over saturated with Guy Fieri. Shows.
All the decent cooking shows are in a.m. Please get creative again.

New 30 Minute Meals
April 27, 2019

I really like Rachel Rae on the show but after watching today I have to say her husband John really hurts the show. He really is not good for the show. Sorry

I have watch Food Network since it started in the 1990s and I still love to watch it because I can learn to cook new things but now it's nothing but game shows with the Barefoot Contessa still on and a few other Cooks occasionally but it's nothing about learning to cook anymore I know it's probably cheaper this way for the network but it's not even worth watching most the time 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.

Cutting the cord, the food shows were the last I watched. Now it is just non-sense food or killer food like all the sugar shows. I have been a viewer since the beginning. The end is here.

She needs to be fired and take Jeff with her. She is so loud and obnoxious. Always needs to be the center of attention!

Should Guy Network
May 25, 2020

This has turned into the most boring channel. This was one of the reasons I canceled cable. They have gone so far from their original content I can't believe it's even the same channel.

Enough is Enough!
May 25, 2020

Why do you continue to air Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives each weekend? Episode, after episode, after episode! Enough is enough is enough! Did I mention that this is enough?!

You did the same thing with Rachael Ray; I instantly change channels when Guy comes on. What happened to real chefs? Also sick of only competition shows.

We watch Food Network when there's nothing else on. I can honestly say Ree Drummand is the only chef I like. Tom Colicchio is the worst, followed by Geoffrey Zakarian, Alex Guarnaschelli, Bobby Flay, Duff, Guy, Valerie Bertinelli, Anne Burrell & Tyler Florence. I guess you could say most of them. The shows they judge, they act so superior, so arrogant. These chef-contestants, come on these programs to learn for "the best" and are continually degraded. Cut them down to make you look better. Geez I give up on these $#*!s

The Food Network is dead
February 3, 2018

They feminized the channel. The only shows I watch are the kitchen and Beat Bobby Flay. As far as I'm concerned the channel is dead. Now I watch Top Chef from Canada, what a great show. Food channel has been redesigned for children, women, and gay people. There are just so many negative things to say about the Food Channel now. And I like I said I watch Top Chef, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. Once in a while I watch Anthony Bourdain, great show not on the Food Channel. Sara Moulton not on the Food Channel. Jacque Pepin not on the Food Channel. I don't know who's running the Food Channel but they killed it.!

RIP Food Network
May 24, 2017

I used to watch the Food Network to learn how to make new things by real chefs. Those days are long long gone. Someone changed the recipe, pun intended. First of all they stopped using chefs and started using nit wit talentless bloggers and B grade actresses who spend half of the show telling stories and the other half showing you how to make sandwiches and cookies. But even that was relegated to early mornings, because it was competition time. People trying to make food FAST. Let's watch endless hours of people making crap food FAST. Intermix that with endless hours of Diners Drive Ins and Dives. Now the ultimate in stupidity. Kids. Kids cooking. Kids baking. Kids grilling. I don't want to watch kids messing with food. No more Food Network. I am back to PBS on Saturdays. Martha... no stupid girls night stories, just real recipes that I don't already know how to make. No here's my life on the ranch BS. No peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. No FREAKIN KIDS and the extent of their competition is a little baking show that at least gives its bakers a reasonable amount of time.

Valerie Bertinelli is not even a chef, that's apparent. Some of the things she says is just wrong, and her fake laugh is really annoying. And nothing she says is fresh or new. Horrible show!

Food Network Star
July 23, 2017

What's up with Giada on network star with the blobs on display? This is a family show not Victoria Secret. She is so fake lately. Her smile is also fake. Get back to normal Giada.

More cooking shows
March 10, 2020

Tired of all the competition shows on this channel. What happened to Anne Burrell? Enjoy shows where there is the chef and they are preparing food. Dislike ALLLL the competition shows.

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.
