I do enjoy Triple D, cook offs, grilling competitions, kids cooking, beat Bobby Flay etc.
It would be nice to have less repeats but I'm not sure how much goes into making a show, it must be a lot of work. But I seriously... am very, very tired of seeing these gross homosexuals/celebrities who acting over the top outrageous. I rather them donate to charities with out public foolishness and being praised for it. You know, that's everyone's individual choice, but you don't have to be so flamboyant, loud, and annoying... not everyone is like that, but it's obvious FN is proud of the dramatic LGBT crowd, and the MAJORITY is not...
Please stop with the Celebrity additions, big fail, and tell the LGBT community to tone it down! It's just down right obnoxious and gross... Especially, Celebrity addition and Food Truck Race. Can't stand those shows anymore. That's why survivor and amazing race is loosing interest also. Hint, Hint... keep it to yourself!

Chopped@Siba boring
April 21, 2019

I was a die hard food network fan but now have become bored. All they air is Siba's and Chopped boring. As South African's we are also important. Don't take us as fools. We need variety. Please up or you will loose us.

You took one of our favorite TV shows and ruined it with Martha Stuart. She was nothing but a b. Tch If you think that enhanced the show or your network you are mistaken. We will wait until she's gone

I've been a dedicated viewer for 20 plus years. Please listen to your viewers when they say something isn't working. Stop saturating us with Guy Fieri enough already! Bring back Iron Chef the best show ever. Now it's on Netflix and it's not the same. I want to see the original Iron Chefs.

They used to have a half-way decent website, but once again they've changed it & it totally SUCKS! It's hard to navigate, there are way to many adds, and it doesn't accept most of the internet explorer versions. On my computer, it constantly gets booted from ie. I am totally frustrated as I have spent years accumulating recipes in my recipe box and now it's almost impossible to get them out of the system. Everyone should start looking at recipes.com for their future reciptes.

I'm sorry but it's so annoying that she doesn't know how to open a crescant pop can. Give me a break! I really don't enjoy her as an addition to the show.

Where are you Sandra? Melissa? Arti? Big Al? I can't stand the shows meant to entertain us. Food network has really disappointed me. I used to enjoy watching and learning how to make different foods. Now it's contest after contest. Bring back cooking! Thank goodness pioneer woman is still with us!

The only time I turn on food network is when the Pioneer Woman and Ina Garten are on. There's no one else left that shows you how to cook different dishes. Can't stand all of the reality cooking shows and there are many! Whatever happen to Sandra Lee. Use to watch all the time not anymore.

The Food Network used to be entertaining and educational. Now it's a thumping bore, thanks to Guy Fieri and Sunny. Both of these television harridans just enjoy chewing on anything in front of them and the scenery. I cannot stand them. Guy especially comes off as a crass, self absorbed redneck whose actual recipes and restaurant are all terrible. I tossed out his book ages ago and his NY restaurant is purely a trap for ignorant tourists. Sunny just comes off as the worst kind of cook... one who bites into anything and leaves it on the counter and she never seems to wash her hands. Between these two and your ridiculous kid cooking shows, I'm staying away for a long while. Your entire network programming lacks creativity. Time to reboot!

There is no one more obnoxious, loud & annoying than Sunny Anderson. Her 'personality' clashes with the other refined members on The Kitchen. Rea Drummond is too focused on promoting her family & her recipes always relates to a family member or event.
How can Food Network continue to sponsor these irritating personalities? What happened to Ina Gardner & Martha Stewart. Simply Ming is great! Henry, his son, is in the background & takes directions then falls back & he complements the show.
I change the channel when Anderson's mouth opens, "know what I'm sayin?", so aggravating. I don't watch Drummond.

Was, happily, watching foodnetwork and cookingchannel for years, however, in the past year or so, I've found that the programming-quality has declined, drastically: Fewer individual chefs, more foolish conflict-oriented competition shows, hours and hours of repetition, fast visual cutting, and unendurable noisy tracks. Culinary-learning and production creativity have taken a real dive!

I love The Kitchen... but I have to say that I am tired of watching Sunny Anderson acting like a loud, overbearing, starving glutton. I seriously wonder sometimes if she has been drinking before taping and has lost all sense of propriety. Licking her fingers while staring straight at the camera, talking with food in her mouth... its gross. She has gotten out of control. She needs to get her manners back and quiet down or go away.

Also, really burning out on Guy Fieri. Like him but don't want to watch him for hours on end.

I LOVE CHOPPED. I can watch it from sun up to sun down... until recently. Martha Stewart as a judge? You guys ruined the show. She doesn't have a culinary bone in her body. What an insult to your iron chefs and top-notch judges, food critics, bloggers, etc. that have appeared on this show. I'm really disappointed. This was not a good decision. I'll only watch the re-runs now.

I enjoy watching The Kitchen, wonderful variety of tips and hacks encourages me to try new flavor profiles. That being said too often I am watching and carefully listening; Jeff and/or Sunny burst out in happy yells or comments over the person speaking and I cannot get what was said. I began recording it to play back so I could hear it. This did not help as their noise carried over the speakers voice. It is essential to have fun at work, please help them realize the show is on the air to educate those of us wanting to learn. Not trying to hurt any feelings just want to hear the speaker. Blessings and in advance I thank you for adressing the issue.

Hope a refresh happens
December 12, 2018

I have loved this chanel since it started but lately it's repeating line up of fieri and flay is a bore. I love those guys but they are not jaw and order. I'm sticking with chopped and some cake competitions but they can use some more cooking shows with the new winners I stead of repeats of guy fieri. Stop using the new winners as only judges on the next competition. Don't over do your platform... a loyal watcher. Would like to see yours of restaurants or inventive programming already

I have been a faithful food network viewer since the network began. I support ALL cooks, contests, challenges and celebrities that have graced this program on a daily basis by watching. I have gleamed useful, productive, creative and tasty food cooking tips that have enhanced my family's table. BUT... I am so sick and tired of watching Giada show off her cleavage, again, again, and again! Does she really need to wear plunging tops that highlight and focus on her breasts by the camera rather than showcase her technical ability to cook? I am now looking at Next Food Network star, Season 11, Ep. 5 and now she is showing her belly button. C'mon Giada leave it in the bedroom and focus on your good cooking!

I used to watch the food network constantly. I understand that covid didn't help seeing that most chefs tape from their home. The pioneer woman is horrible having her children tape she acts so immature. Miss shows like Ina Nancy and I do love watching Miss Brown. Guy seems to be taking over food network he's ok however there are lots of great chefs out there. Can Food Network kick it up a notch? Would like to add some new recipes to my collection. Thanks

Incredibly disappointing
December 31, 2016

I'm so disappointed in Food Network channel now. There's nothing on anymore besides competitions and Guy Fieri. What has happened to all the chef shows? You guys are losing huge numbers of viewers. Please review and make some changes. I used to watch your channel 24/7 and now I never turn it on. Very sad...

I am a Food Network lover, and The Kitchen is the show I most look forward to, with the exception of Sunny! I find her annoying! From her ridiculous make-up to her eating... Why does the network not see this? She's too outspoken, NOT funny and obnoxious.
If you want to keep the show alive, please replace her... or viewers like me will drift off.

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.
