Literally if you scroll through the choices all thats playing that day is cupcake wars and different forms of chopped. I used to LOVE Food Network. They used to have a good mix of shows like Cake Wars, regular cooking shows, Unwrapped, BBQ cookoffs, and various other challenges. Now its only two/three shows they play over and over. Really disappointing I could almost cry.

Disappearing recipes
February 26, 2020

I watch the shows on the food Network channel to see chefs and cooks cook food and find recipes to make. After watching the shows, I often save the recipes to Pinterest. However, I have on several occasions gone to retrieve the recipe and it is no longer available - "page not found" comes up. One of the recipes was from an episode that was shown two weeks earlier. Also when you search recipes on this site, it lists quite a few recipes that are no longer available when you click on them to view them. If this site won't show the recipes, don't list them. This site needs is in extreme need of being cleaned up - all it does is waste my time.

Pioneer Woman
July 19, 2020

I love the Food Network show, have watched it for years... but one of my favorite "The Pioneer Woman" is AWFUL since her children are doing the recording. Their recording is fine, it's just Rae is acting so silly and making meals is awful. I watch for her cooking skills and recipes, not her acting stupid and just careless handing the food! Soooo many mistakes and she just laughs. I stopped watching... it's sad.

I really enjoy The Kitchen recipes, tips and guests. I would enjoy it more if Katie worked on a less nasal voice and Sunny wasn't yelling out every single word, interrupting at every turn and grabbing every food item as if she hadn't eaten in weeks. Her lipstick and nail polish are distracting from the show content. She is a happy personality and has great recipes. Easy fix.

Everyone I know who used to watch Food network is so done with hours of DDD and chopped. Where is all the talent? Where are the chefs. Where is your programmer? You can't possibly think this is what Food Network should be. We are done!

Buddy vs duff... i believe is not sanitary for cooks to be demonstrating with all their jewelry on... for me, it is a big turn off... your ratings are already down... for me. This is a real put off.

Take off your rings and jewelry.

My Recipe Box
May 8, 2008

My Recipe Box - I really love this website. It's got great recipes that also list it's ratings, which Food Network chef created it, level of difficulty and nutitional value breakdown. Plus, most recipes also have pics. Easy to navigate and like most cooking websites, you can also search for recipes based on main ingredient or cooking techniques. Also, if you watch Food Network like me, you can watch the dish being made on TV and follown the basic technique and then get the recipe online, you're not scrambling to write it down or memorize it at that moment.

My mom & I enjoy watching several of your shows. 'The Kitchen' is one of our favorites. However, I find Sonny & her comments to be nauseating! I don't remember this being called "Sonnys Kitchen." It would be nice to watch without her running her mouth all the time!

This woman just gets more and more rude. She purposely walks in front of the rest of the hosts and blocks them. She acts like she is starved to death getting to taste the food. She also loud and annoying. You would think the producers would tell her to chill out.

Not very good any more
January 10, 2016

I have been a faithful follower of Food Network since the beginning. For most of the time I have been very satisfied. Until recently. I am totally sick of Chopped, Guys Grocery Games, Cupcake wars, etc. Most of your shows are some sort of reality junk that I personally don't care for. I think most of your viewers want to see a real cook prepare meals or receipes we can also prepare at home. The only shows on your channel I still watch are Ina Garten, Giada, Trisha and Pioneer Woman. Would be happy if you could possibly find another Ina. I have found that the PBS stations still have the real cooks on. Maybe you should check them out

My favorite show on Food Network was chopped, cannot believe you chose to put Martha Stewart on as a judge! She is a convicted Thief! And yet you get rid of Paula Deen for a mistake she made 20 years ago. Can't even stand to watch chopped anymore. So sorry you chose to put that arrogant woman on a great TV show. Bye bye chopped

Guy Fieri.
He can't cook!
He is smug and arrogant!
He is a prejudice prick, and yet he does not get fired.
I will keep changing that channel along with the rest of America until there is no longer a food network left.

Stopped watching
March 17, 2024

Became an absolute no. All the same chefs participate in all shows. Many of them are just ordinary cooks. There are so many young talented people who can't break the wall, because of them.

I used to like foodnetwork. I don't see Rachel Ray anymore which is good because she got worse as time goes by. There are some shows that I like watching but unfortunately they got rid of it. Still watching some shows once in a awhile. I hope they will get rid of that Beat Bobby Flay. Trisha Yearwood, Giada and Valerie's show it's just a waste of time. Try to come up with something new foodnetwork!

We really enjoy watching the Kitchen but why is Sunny the main one to do most of the talking, tasting, interviewing guests, etc? Is she funding the shows now? She is so loud and rude talking over others. And please keep the camera off of her when she eats. She has to taste and stick her fingers in whatever is prepared on the show. No one is as smart as she is for she is always correcting people. Jeff is loud also but at least he has better manners. Please let the others on the show have equal time as Sunny.

Maybe a cooking show
October 17, 2017

I've got a idea. Why don't you maybe turn this network into a cooking show. You could have people on that know a little about cooking. They don't have to be chefs they don't have to be cooks. Because right now you don't you have kids, worst cooks (that's what you call them) you have people that you chop. All kidding aside food network has changed and I think not for the good. This may not go anywhere but that's ok at least I tried. Gary

Adverts
August 3, 2020

I would watch more often but the advertisements go on for sooo long! Some of the individual adverts must think that the people watching are stupid and forgetful as they repeat the same thing over and over again. I try to watch occasionally if I can time it right, but as soon as the ads come on I turn over. Shorten the ads to 3 normal length ones and I'm in!

What happened to Amanda and Maneet the judges on Chopped? They can't say anything nice anymore. We haven't ever seen them win a compatition, yet they are so critical and getting fatter by the minute. We don't watch when they're on.

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.
