Get rid of Sunny Anderson she is useless other than to put food in her mouth. Of all chefs to be picked for be a captain on BBQ Brawl why her she is not even a real chef. 100's of other chef could have been a much better pick. She has a big mouth and talks over everyone rude and interrupts everyone. Get her off the Kitchen I can not stand listening to her talk.

Not worth the frustration
November 18, 2020

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.

Who decided Martha Stewart was good for chopped! She's a snob! Rarely smile and when she does she is so phoney! Why are references made to things from "Martha's pantry, Martha's garden, etc." I'd rather see another person given a chance at being a judge than Martha! Does she think she is teaching viewers etiquette? Why the use of chopsticks so much? She brings absolute fear to the contestants! Perhaps you should ask past participants if her presence is intimidating! Her personality is totally whacked! I love Food network but of all the people she is my least favorite! I have read other reviews and her snobbery is worse to me than the other reviews and I tend to agree that the other reviews sums up how I feel about the duffer8shows and individuals on the shows! Get rid of Martha!

Sunny Anderson
September 28, 2020

Tell Giada the put some clothes on. Really not interested in her boobs (or fake smile). Sunny Anderson is over the top with her LOUD changing voice, poor manners, and obnoxious choice of clothes and makeup. Have stopped watching. Get the word out and make some changes as so many have asked for.

Indecent!
November 12, 2019

I am so sick of Giada wearing such low cut clothing. She looks like a desperate lady of the evening. She ruins every show she is in. Even my husband thinks she must be after another husband. I feel so bad for her daughter. Come on enough is enough, do your job and make her wear some decent clothing. Thank you, Debbie

Disappointed
July 12, 2016

I used to love putting on foodnetwork and start cooking. Now all I see is reruns upon reruns and during my preparation of dinner all the network is showing is cooking wars, did, cupcake wars - nothing interesting and those I just mentioned are super boring and the stars generally look very foolish. Bring back something new

Sunny is irratating. Always grabbing the food 1st cramming it in her mouth eats like a pig. She also over talks people and wont let them talk much like rachel ray. Sunny needs to learn some manners and how to eat in front of people

Heartbroken
December 10, 2022

I viewed the yule log challenge with the children today.
It was obvious that the black girl clearly ran circles around the competition. She made two kinds of cakes and was the most creative...but typical food network...they gave the win to her white counterpart. Smh.

I'm tired of the same people showing up on all of the various Holiday baking championship events! Different teams... same damn people! Surely there is fresh and new and upcoming talent across America! Starting to wonder?

Halloween wars
October 12, 2021

I wait all year for Halloween wars but this years (2021) is super disappointing last year you almost ruined Halloween baking champ Now you have removed the pumpkin carver which was what made it unique it wasn't just about cake or sugar or pumpkin. It was the combination of all three that made it special. And where did Jonathan go? Can't stand that guy in the tv. The old saying says if it ain't broke don't fix it. It was t broke till now,

He should take his stupid sunglasses when talking into the camera. Dont say that he has an eye condition, he does not. I am so sick of his show. I do not watch Food Network anymore because it is all DDD. Read the reviews, I am not alone.

I hate to complain, but we just can't take it anymore. My family and I watches The Food Network channel daily! But we are tired of seeing Guy fieri Diners drive-in and dives that plays for hours on Friday night's and weekends. And the Beat Bobby flay show is also getting to be annoying. We would like to see more of a variety of shows. Or just bring back cooking shows a few times a week. This channel is becoming the Guy Fieri network. What's the point of finding new food network stars?... I don't see you guys using them? I hope you consider changing the programming SOON!

I am shocked at the way Tia M talks to the kids. She has no class at all, making the kids feel bad for trying their best. She should be ashamed of herself. I'll bet she slaps her own kids for not being perfect. Why do they need this "D list" no talent girl on here anyway? I think the best two people who have the knowledge and class to talk to kids are Duff & Valerie. I hear so many bad things about Food Network. I hope they get rid of Tia before the next season. She kept telling Amber that she wasn't authentic. Look at her and see how phony she acts herself. GET RID OF HER PLEASE!

Blonde guy
May 26, 2017

I think your blonde guy with tattoos has over staid his welcome. You send him to great restaurants, they want to be on the show, But her is the last person they want to deal with. He is a slug. You are missing it. David

Just read about the "new" shows FN will air -- well, it is the same old stuff - competition, games, and a return to 'touring' show where the host(s) goes around to locations and sample food. The original premise of FN was cooking now it is nonsense.

Tonight's Gauntlet
May 11, 2018

So very disappointing. The judging should have been the same for all 3 rounds- same judges, not an extra judge added for the final round. Its just not right.
I think Alton did David in. I am not even going to watch the next one.

Same shows running all the time. We want more shows like pioneer woman, contessa, 5 ingredient fix and even Giada (dressed modestly). Not the same show running continuously! One day, I hope you'll figure out how much we hate that. Stop all those competitions! You call yourself the Food Network! We want to learn more about cooking!

Gender politics
June 27, 2022

How can you reconcile a gay guy in drag fawning over a supposed straight male substitute on his food truck. While at it, how can you show a gay make thrusting his abdomen at the posterior of another gay man? Forget the politics of gender, if those were heterosexual encounters it would be deemed unacceptable.

I used to love watching the afternoon shows of Barefoot Contessa, pioneer Woman, etc now it's DDD for hours in a row! Too many completion shows and no cooking shows... not a great programming decision. Nobody likes watching Guy Fieri 8 hours a day.

I'm done watching food network star and definitely Giada as she can't handle criticism. She wants her cooking to be judged by contestants of food network star but can't handle the feedback then boots one of if not the most consistent cook on the show. Low class person does that. Lost any respect from me. I'll say a prayer for you Giada as you need guidance to mature as a person and human being.

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.
