Food Network Reviews 216

I've truly enjoyed shows like The Kitchen — the warm, approachable format and personalities like Sunny Anderson made it a joy to watch. I'd love to see more programming in that spirit, focused on healthy, wholesome cooking.

There's a real appetite among viewers for recipes that are both delicious and health-conscious — think Weight Watchers-friendly meals, plant-based cooking, and dishes that are lower in sugar and saturated fat. With obesity and chronic disease such pressing issues in America, Food Network has a wonderful opportunity to be part of the solution by featuring chefs who are passionate about nourishing the body, not just indulging it.

Rather than competition-format shows, I'd welcome more lifestyle-oriented cooking programs where knowledgeable, personable chefs guide viewers toward healthier everyday choices — proving that healthy food can be every bit as satisfying and flavorful as traditional comfort food.

Thank you for considering viewer feedback — I believe this direction could attract a large and loyal audience!"

Completely disappointed with the Food Network. First you ruin the kitchen when you added Arrogant Alex. Between her and Sunny the show almost became unwatchable. And now just about everything on your network is from years ago. I wish I could dump your network and just get a credit.

Their tv show is literally straight up gambling. I had a friend addicted to this show and this would be all that was playing in the background. If you can't see gambling in this tv show you need help. I'm honestly not all that thrilled with some of the recipes I've tried on their website. Without an ad blocker their website is virtually unusable.

Although I tend to love watching cooking shows, Its no great loss that "The Kitchen" has been canceled. Those big personalities were very annoying and rude. Sunny with her loud mouth to everyone trying to overtalk each other. Maybe try again with different personalities.

new 24 in 24 is on tonight. As of this time, 1143 pm, they have aired 60 ads/promos. Ridicules!!

Get rid of Rodney Scott on BBQ Brawl. He has a huge ego and really thinks he is the one and only person who can do BBQ. His constant comments with "I wish". I wish you would have cooked it longer, shorter, more sauce, less sauce, more salt, less salt. He's annoying, Brooke is not far behind. I think making the winner of BBQ Brawl should become a judge on the next season, rotating evert season and get rid of the judges who think they know more than anyone else.

Something recently changed when you go to find a recipe from a show that you're watching, when you click on the recipes, they do not readily appear. Instead now, you get the chef's profile. What happened to getting the recipes from that episode?? Very frustrating! You have so few instructional shows left that you can get recipes from as it is. Don't make it difficult to find the recipes. Bad choice by the network, AGAIN!

Food Network? Nah. Game show Network is what it has become. Ridiculous.

Way to many complications!! Not enough cooking instructions anymore. How many times can you reinvent Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri. Haven't watched Food Network since Emeril left. Good luck reinventing Bobby and Guy. I'll stick with PBS.

I miss the old FN with actual cooking/ teaching shows! I don’t even watch anymore because Guy and Bobby competition shows are incessantly shoved down our throats. I do like The Kitchen but of course that got axed Why? To make way for MORE completions?! ENOUGH!

I cannot even believe the kitchen has been canceled!! I would watch repeats of that show. It was more than a cooking show, it was enjoyable tv!!! I started to dislike this channel when I started to notice they no longer had holiday or seasonal focused cooking shows. I loved this channel for years but now it’s a total disappointment that I no longer will be watching

To many of the same people over and over . To many cooking competition shows with the same people. What about the gambling cooking show where they bring money and bet??? This is not appropriate for tv. Same people over and over....asking for date everyday it's the same. Chefs?? Hair flying all over the food hands not washed after handling raw meat beards not covered. Wear gloves where are the health inspections???

I think the Food Network has just become one competition show after another. I'm tried of Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay. I've seen on line that The Kitchen might come back but with all new cooks. WHY..if it's not broke don't fix it. I'm done with Food Network.

Wa s in the market yesterday and noticed a Guy Fieri's
flavor town microwave dinner in the frozen food isle. Beef taco pasta and said wow I have to try this. When I got home, popped in the microwave and took two bites then put it in the trash can. How can anyone with that much knowledge produce an item that tasted so bad. I'm on food stamps and was very upset I wasted $7.00 on this product. Won't ever buy one of his products again. Guy, pay more attention to what you'r selling and less on jewelry, big rings, necklaces, watches, it's not a good look. You look more like the food rapper. You'r going down hill Bro.

Used to have great cooking shows. Now mostly contest cooking shows... I no longer watch. Food is about taste and creativity and culture. Its not suppose to be a CONTEST. Wake up FOOD NETWORK!! Look at all the negative reviews!!

There are so many egotistical chefs competing against other chefs and wasting very high end food. These shows are completely out of hand and it sickens me on how much food they waste to boost their egos.

I am sad to say that although sometimes entertaining, the Food Network has devolved into one long continuous competition for celebrity chefs. The once popular and highly instructional platform for culinary art now seems more like a playground for its own hand picked chefs. The programming is now completely void of cultural diversity. This used to be an inspiring place where people could learn about all different kinds of cuisines from all over the globe and actually improve their own cooking skills. Now it just seems like a private club of cooks who celebrate their own kitchen prowess. It’s now just an endless game show of no greater value than The Price is Right or Jeopardy.

Bring back Good Eats. Bring back 30 minute Meals. Bring back the wonderful educational shows that inspired so many people to learn to love how to transform ingredients into amazing dishes that impressed friends and family and in my opinion caused a return to the old days where families actually enjoyed the time shared at the table.

I simply have some constructive feedback regarding food, safety issues that are repeated on your network time and time again females and males do not constrain their hair, which is disgusting when cooking all the food hair follicles fallen the food and there has to be attention to working in commercial and own kitchens to making sure safety habits are followed, particularly with long flowing hair hanging and falling into the food

I like the cooking programs as I learn a lot, and I do try a lot of the recipes. I am not put off by Guy Fieri as a lot of people are saying. I like his 'Triple D' show and 'Guys Ranch Kitchen'. One chef I feel is amazing and gets a bad rap for whatever reason is Sunny Anderson. She is amazing and has had so much versatility in her career. She has given a lot to the military community. She also seems very down to earth. If I could meet a celebrity, it would be her. The only negative I would say to programs and chefs of FN is ENOUGH CILANTRO!!! Every chef uses it in every recipe, and it is already a controversial herb. It is just not that great and everyone puts it on everything. Just stop. One of the chefs put it on broccoli. There was nothing else in the recipe but broccoli. Why cilantro??!! Yuk.

So disappointing. It would not allow a 0 rating which is what I would have suggested. This is no longer about cooking…..it should be called the food game show channel. It is an insult to all the great chefs out there. What amazes me is that with all the reviews in the negative you do not seem to care about what the viewers want real instructional shows. I won’t be tuning in.
