Reviews and Complaints

Al sharpton has never meet frank beckles and has no Idea who he is. One thing is for sure frank beckles is a racist but no cares what he has to say becaUse it is all BS

Cut that cable.

Take the money you spend on cable and invest in a library of your own television shows. Hey! Whatever YOU want. Using Amazon and eBay do you realize how quickly you can build a library? I re-run my own personal stuff about every 2 or three years, if that. Almost none of it has advertisements either. Wow is that a luxury!

And best of all, I do not support the cable television industry. Those reality shows you menitoned by the way, means unpaid actors/actresses. Lowest budget you could ever imagine. So whattya paying for?

Drama and outright emoting has ruined all television. Honey Boo Boo mentality, right down to the Weather Channel...if they still even call it that anymore. I cancelled cable years ago. Never looked back. Forty dollars a month for that junk? No way.

Oh my god I know exactly what you mean... its terrible now :o(

I'm assuming this is a troll post?

It’s plain to see that all decisions at food network are determined by someone in close alignment with donald trump and his racist, hateful base!
Once I saw that MANNY, a BLACK personable accomplished chef who would have added SO much to your miserable network, was the one who had been eliminated, leaving christian, who NEVER tasted throughout the entire competition, and jess, whose pilot was as boring as they come, had been eliminated, I turned my set off out of disgust! Here you have bobby flay up to his old tricks of trying to keep strong Black men away from being any type of competition for him and that racist giada, who NEVER has anybody BLACK on the many shows she calls herself hosting! They are both so full of hate for Blacks it makes me nauseated! I will NOT be looking at another FNStar again!
And then there are the other racist exhibits that you put forth:
1. Iron Chef: Why are there no Black iron chefs?!
2. And that old tyler florence, who is just as racist as those two on food n. star. Last year he sadistically “allowed” the Black team to remain until the final show and then lied that that caucasian team from south carolina, his home state, had won. (And how does the audience even know if he’s telling the truth about the amount of money each team earns?!) So here we go again: first team to go home this season is the Black team, even though that team selling chocolate-covered strawberries for $1.00 could not possibly have beaten them!
WHEN are you going to rid yourselves of your 60’s jim crow mentality and give a deserving Black person his/her own show on the Network, NOT the internet (foodnetwork.com)?!
I can’t wait until your entire network gets canceled so that I don’t have to see your racially biased shows as I surf the channel lineup!
P.S.: Even though she’s not Black, Rachel Ray is just a decent person, and you got rid of her too because that old giada felt intimidated by and jealous of her popularity!

Get rid of Giada so I can enjoy the next food network star. I didn't watch last year and I wont watch this year as long as she is on there.

Can you please tell your chefs stop using the words "pretty" and "sooo pretty" which is used ad nauseum on a lot of your cooking shows. Valerie Bertinelli and Katie Lee being the ones who use it the most. If you expect contestants on the Next Food Network Star to not over-use the same words, maybe you should remind your so-called chefs expand their vocabulary and learn adjectives other than "pretty" in describing their food. Annoying!

every time i watch guy on his program he samples everything and does not make the time to wash his hands how terrible that is there is a whole bunch of others do the same, as for me i would NEVER eat his food

I would much rather watch the chefs preparing the food instead of talking how they are doing it. SHOW IT. I have noticed lately that Giada is dressed more appropriately. She does have a nice figure, but I am not watching the show for that. I do prefer Trisha's southern cooking and pioneer woman. Their recipes are much more down home, and something I would make. I don't care for all these gourmet meals.. don't have the money to buy a lot of these expensive items, and I would assume that the average family does not either. and lastly, don't do a whole night of one show. Example: Triple D. show a few, then go on to something else. after one or two, I turn it off. I watch Food network more than any other station, but I am changing.

Anne Burrell is uncomfortable to watch on Worst Cooks in America. She is just downright mean- nasty- disrespectful- dysfunctional. She acts like a bully to her team and gets psycho micro-manager which is just no fun to watch. She is terrible- why in the world is she on tv?

What's up with the new shows? Aren't these people making enough money acting in Hollywood? Now we have tv with comedy shows telling us how to cook. Really? Enough food network. Bring back good chefs a d while we're at it stop the diners drivers and dives marathons.

I am very disappointed in the food network, Giada and Bobbie, for letting the new food network star (season 11) Eddie Jackson, use the N word on a live airing. You people fired Paula Dean behind using the N word 30 years ago. The network said they do Not tolerate racism to any degree. I do not care whether a white person or a colored person using the word it is disrespectful. I also can Not believe Giada and Bobbie laughed when Eddie used it (what we're you thinking?) Obviously the Food Network and their stars are disrespectful and only care about ratings. SMH you should all be ashamed. This was plain stupidity on the networks and their top stars behalf.

Dear Food Network---It's so sad a once enjoyable network has become nothing but Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, the JUVENILE Cutthroat Kitchen, and Grocery Games (a ripoff of the old Supermarket Sweep) and and all your "new" shows are nothing but watching the chefs eat ---Carnival Cravings, Burgers, Brew, & Que, and American Diner Revival which is the SAME concept as Restaurant Impossible! And your show THE KITCHEN there is NO CHEMISTRY among the participants, it is PAINFUL to watch as one person tries to outdo the other! Oh and let's not forget Giada's BOOBS! The ONLY shows I enjoy are Cake Wars---the cake artists are amazing, and The Kids Baking Championship---the rest of your programming is TOTAL GARBAGE!
I think you need a contest to replace Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson! They know NOTHING about what the viewers want---gee maybe a show about actual COOKING perhaps! No wonder your ratings continue to DECLINE! Food Network was one of my go to channels, but not any more...now it's just PITIFUL!

Sincerly
Sign me---DISGUSTED Food Network Viewer

What is the Food Network thinking with Giada's wardrobe! Viewers who watch this network are interested in learning about food, recipes, culture, the use of spices, not in watching nearly topless women cooking. I, for one, am no longer going to watch programs with Giada exposing not just a bit of cleavage, but nearly all of her breasts. No respectable woman at any age, but particularly at her age, would allow herself to be displayed like that, even if it is a network decision! Trying to look like a playboy bunny?...there are plenty of channels for that! And how embarrassing for her co-workers having to sit next to a woman in a bikini top, and/or cut-out midriff or back?
Giada'sridiculous Italian accent when saying mozzarella, prosciutto, and other 'Italian' words has made me not enjoy watching her own cooking shows, but now with this topless business going on, I won't be watching other shows that include her.
One reason I have enjoyed watching this channel over the years is because of its clean, wholesome, family- oriented programming. That is no longer the case! Viewers should be able to tune in to theThe Food Network without previewing to see if their children can be allowed to watch it. Who is making the foolish decisions for this network? Just ridiculous!
