Food Network Arvostelua 

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.

Foodnetwork went downhill
Baking with Anna, Alex, Mary, the pioneer women they are sooooooooo boring to watch. Just massive snooze fest. Alex is annoying. Just a loud mouth and I swear they juat make her win cuz she has her show.

In the past, the show was instructional, informative and exciting to watch. Currently, the network has devalued its content to being a gameshow where competitions is its primary FOCUS. It is extremely disappointing for me. I enjoyed Emeril, Rachel Ray, The 2 Fat Ladies, etc. I remember when Guy became the next food network host. That was the network’s turning point. I didn’t envision that he would become the network. Maybe the network should be named Guy’sNetwork.

All I observe and complained to them, never getting a response from them is repeats of Nadiya Hussain, Bake off, Maneet Chauhan, Anju Adnan, Rick, Asma Khan, Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, James Martin, the Hairy Bikers. Nearly all the dishes are Indian. I am sick of the number of Indian dishes on without no Indian males but nearly all Indian dishes.

I’m giving up on Food Network!!! I have been a fan since they began, but now it’s nothing like what I watched it for! No real cooking shows anymore; just fake competitions. I used to watch the baking championships, but they are so predictable now. I can usually figure out who’s going to win by the 3rd show. I’m done!!!

The Food network has good shows. I do love Guy Fiere. He is funny, inventive, and has allowed chefs to attain higher visibility and fame. I also love the cooking shows but am becoming sick and tired of holiday cookie, cake, pumpkin, and cupcake wars. To months of Halloween was nuts and I never watched this. Christmas is proving to be the same thing.
My request is to show holiday shows closer to the holidays, never put the same shows on hour after hour in one night- too boring, mix five to six shows, competition or not on the same night. Keep doing a great job building new shows.

Cooking competition for dog food? Just saw a Chopped competition that included making a "treat" for a golden retriever. Dog mania/nuts is already over the top, but really? Stick to cooking for humans, which the network is already struggling with.

stopped watching when it became a competition network and also because its now the Guy and bobby and the princess girlfriend of Bobby, use to enjoy learning new things now its just another lousy series

I love Bobby Flay. I've been watching this show since it began. My reason for giving 3 stars is because I always see an African American on there that never makes it to go against Bobby. Why is that? I don't even want to hear that black folks can't cook. I don't want it to seem like the show is racist, but when will African Americans go against him? I know that they are only showcased to avoid a huge lawsuit. Honestly, none of the cooking shows on this channel allows any black person to beat a white one. Now I remember why I stopped watching this network. Nothing has changed.... Actually, blacks don't win on any show on this network. So I'm changing my thoughts. This channel is RACIST... It doesn't even deserve to be on any television in my house. I deleted the whole network.

Please remove Girl meets Farm show, it is soooo boring and Molly cooks some weird food. I skip her shows and wait for Ree to come on. And, why is her kitchen so old?

The saving grace for Food Network are the actual cooking shows such as: Girl Meets Farm, The Kitchen, Mary Makes It Easy, Jet Cooks, Pioneer Woman, Symon Dinners. I will stop whatever I am doing at home to watch these shows! What happened to Ina Garten? Miss her. Let’s have Indian food cooks back on. Pleeeeease! Enough with the reality tv competition among chefs. I despise them.

Why do I turn on The Food Network and see hours and hours of Guy F shows? Enough already!! I used to like his shows but not anymore. He never cooks just orders food or orders others to cook for him. Please, give the viewers a break...no more Guy!!

Seems like the focus is on the 2 Hosts and not on the chefs. They do nothing, that I have seen so far, to give them direction to change their attitudes and behaviors. They dump them into an already toxic environment and expect them to improve themselves? There is really no fair way for them to learn from their mistakes because they are "1 and done" and off the show. The one youngest chef needs professional help for his anger issues. Nothing there is going to help him. Hope it is now renewed.

Rachel Ray doesn't work in UK, too ebullient, too loud, doesn't fit UK... sorry, but not a good fit.

Been watching beat Bobby flay for over an hour. Can you please atleast mix it up, every episode has just been him winning. Idc what anyone says it’s rigged
Editing my review 3 episodes later. Almost 4 hours of watching and it’s just all been Bobby flay. Cmon folks get it together

is there anyone more obnoxious than Sunny Anderson? I refuse to watch she's in, including season 4 and 5 of BBQ Brawl. Also, if I'm binging Beat Bobby Flay, I'll skip over any episode she's on. She's loud, mouthy and totally disgusting. I don't know how she's been on the Food Network for so long!!
