Why can’t cooking shows be as simple and enjoyable as the Two Fat Ladies. No fake, plastic smiling, no bizarre gimmicks, just enjoyable and fun to watch. FN has lost its touch.
Oh, even earlier than that! Since they were taken over by Scripps in the late 90s, they went downhill faster than an Olympic skier. They dropped all the real chefs and started up with their plastic Food Network “Stars”.
Cause that’s how we cook at home 🤷♀️ I wash my hands and just cook. We want perfection, but do you really bubble wrap yourself cooking for your fam? Get over it
A plethora of bad behavior. Bobby Flay is the most egotistical man ever! They are all human and some of these are just poor or ignorant mistakes. Others are despicable!
I am married to the same woman for 44 years. The Neelys were as phony as they can be. My wife and I don't do this "lovey dobby" stuff in the kitchen especially if you are dealing with bake good. With Ina, as an Asian, I saw a show where she did some food with sauces. She described one sauce as"Chinesey": I was offended- she should have said it a balance on sweet and sour with heat.- or something like that not "its Chinesey" You never mentioned Giada who had I believe a fling with Bobby Flay and the way she treated her stadd.
That makes 5 of us and I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of people who dislike him. I started by not liking him by just having a bad feeling about him but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I saw how cocky and ruthless he was besides bullying everyone he can. Then when he cheated on his wife, that did it. A normal innocent person would deny it but no such words from his mouth. He's just an A_S!!!
Who is? We're not perfect, none of us? Everybody has something that someone else will find something offensive. It's sad that we turn our noses up when we find out that there is imperfection in humans. It will never end
I stopped watching Food network, because of their hypocritical attitudes. I figure their ratings hit a nose dive when they fired Paula Deen. It just goes to show you, that a person can never apologize enough in this clown/woke world we now live in.
Like anything else, you don't like the person, turn the TV off or watch something else. Hardly worth losing sleep over a TV program. I don't watch a cooking show to critique the chef, I watch it for recipes I might want to try. Apparently other people's lives are so perfect they can criticize these people. Good for you.
Shouldn’t be surprised by bad behavior by chefs. Professional kitchens are rife with egomaniacal owners and chefs exploiting overworked employees under extreme stress, in dangerous conditions. Some of them who can palaver get on TV, but only a small handful can capture the simple dignity of Julia Child. Mostly it’s just hype
It's not about being obligated. It's about being a decent person. He's a dying 3 year old boy who idolizes her. If she cant set side her inflated celebrity ego long enough to make time for him, that's sad. And not somebody I'm interested in supporting.
@@mikelleabner3721 I think it’s easy to say and be on your high horse when you’re on your phone but if you were actually in her situation rather than observing from a far I think you’d see things differently and she changed her mind after the constant publicity from the family mind you not her-and in the end tried to bend over backwards.despite what they’re poor son went through, his family seeking public attention leaves a bad taste in my mouth. People in the public eye usually don’t address situations like this at all. No one is entitled to anyone’s time. To think so shows immaturity and lacks actual understanding of boundaries.
The people related to sexual abuse & child abuse were heinous and scandalous, however, most of the other ones are simply a picture of today's society who are endlessly "OFFENDED" about pretty much everything. Turn off the TV and get over it!
That's what I.say as well. Those buttons on the remotes are for just that and no.one forces us to.wstch what we wish not to. Freedom.pf choice. Why spend so.much.time on some you hate watching Make your self happier and let it stop controlling your emotions and mind ? Not one of us out here are perfect. No matter what goes on in.this life. I'm.on.the front side of being nearly 90 years of age. Seen a lot good and bad. Make your self happy live long enough and you will.learn this.is the best thing we can do for our selves. All have to.take life one day at a time.we have no control over that. We never know what another day will bring. Hope you'll will be happy.
When Food network cancelled Paula's contract, I stopped watching anything on Food Network. I am fed up with the racial BS. I was raised in a very racist home and used almost every negative term you can imagine. I've since changed my way. With this type of BS, people could berate me for what was done in my past. Grow up people. We can all learn and change.
Exactly! I've stopped watching also. I still have some assorted cook books, I don't need more or to watch more. On the barefoot contessa subject we don't have to oblige anything from strangers.. most likely the parents tried to make that happen.
Exactly! We've all made mistakes and we shouldn't have to pay for those mistakes for the rest of our lives. None of us are the same people we were 10, 20, 30 or 40+ years ago. We live, we learn, we do better.
@@LyndieLouWho yes it's never too late to change for the better the negative path your never going to be happy and the positive path makes you stronger and happier because of the blessings we receive for the work we put in to be on that path. I've learned more in my older years because we were so sheltered growing up. I grew up lost and I didn't realize it until I had my daughter who was born with a disability, she brought God into my life, she technically doesn't speak but her gesturing and her own language speaks volumes. I rather live in reality than to be lost forever. Blessings to you Lyndie Lou Millerd.
I have a 12" stainless steel with a copper bottom pan and a stainless steel chef's knife I bought at K-Mart at least 20 years ago with Martha Stewart's name on it. Both pan and knife have been and still are used on a regular basis. They can't be beat at any price!!
We too have those pots and pans and still use them. Though not as often as the nonstick ones. We now have an electric stove for the first time in our lives. I'm curious how the stainless ones work on it compared to nonstick. With heat being hard to control on electric i've been thinking of using the stainless more to get a feel for them on this stove.
Should put Bobby Flay on top of the list. Left Food Network, after he demanded a $100mil annual salary, thinking he was the Food Network, when all he is is a POS
My mama taught us to pull are hair back and wear an apron and never go barefoot in the kitchen while cooking (?) we never questioned our mama we just did what we we're ask to do, and always washed our hands before beginning
I never watch the Food Network----big egos, big hype, big money----a dangerous combination. These so-called "stars" have forgotten where they came from and the little people who bought their cookbooks and products.
Yes I also just loved Graham Kerr!! I have gone back to watching Paula Deen on occasion, but have dropped watching all the rest you mentioned for quite a while now. If I need a recipe, or knowledge on how to cook something, I look it up on the internet, or TH-cam, or one of my many cookbooks.
As most famous and busy celebrities, I'm sure Ina Garten has a staff that handles her mail and charity requests, etc. She may not of even known about the request until it became a social media thing, then that's when she said okay... However, it was too late.
I feel so disappointed that it went completely downhill. They don't have cooking shows anymore. I no longer watch the food network because of the boring grocery game shows. I don't want that network anymore so I asked my cable provider to cancel it. I just don't like it anymore.
I think it's more like a club than a Network. They have the same cluster of Host chefs and Judges and it's like nobody outside "the family" is allowed in and very easily black listed to protect the network.
I bailed when and the game shows started. I haven't watched TV at all in years. But before I kicked the habit I watched the PBS cooking shows. Nice and calm.
She was committed to a book tour at the time and couldn’t schedule it. Maybe she thought the kid’s time would run out and he wouldn’t get a wish, so better if he made another choice.
A lot of people focus on what Paula said but what her employees went through tends to be ignored, which was always the real problem the statements were just supposed to be used to back up what was really happening behind closed doors which as a business owner she was in charge of stopping but didn't.
@@bernicesmith4248 her brother who was working as a manager for her was being outwardly racist towards staff and a bunch of other stuff anyone else would have been fired for.
Paula Dean was unfairly fired for allegedly saying a racial slur in private decades ago, when most use the same slur in casual conversations and lyrics to this day. The double standards we've created are mindboggling.
I do not like Robert Irvine. Then he lied about his resume, they fired him, THEN they brought him back. Are there so few entertainment chefs out there?
Most chefs I ever met were hacks, a lot of those on TV are not even chefs. Anyone with money can have personal assistants that do most of the work. Executive chef only means that you get other people to do the work and take all the credit. They are super flawed narcissists.
Well you're absolutely wrong about them being hacks. Narcissists? I don't know a successful CEO, politician or artist who is not. I'm a cook and have eaten at their restaurants and spoken with them. All became "stars" after putting in incredibly long hours and honing their craft. Do folks think people snap their fingers and a cookbook appears or that cooking a meal in front of a camera without SNAFUs and smiling the whole time is easy? Flay was cocky/friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, Ina was...Ina, Paula Dean just like her tv persona, Gordon Ramsey (one of the worst dinners I've ever had) nicer than on TV. We loved eat at Casa Mono, Mario Batali's Basque restaurant - cozy, incredibly food and the one time he was there he was super entertaining yet always "teaching"
I'm glad I'm not a celebrity. I say what I think and try not to be insensitive or hurtful, but I'll be damned if I cater to people who are scraping to find anything to be offended by.
Can we all just stop and give Stephanie March (Bobby Flay's ex-wife) her dues for being so gangster by hiring out the plane with the "Cheater" banner? Bad. Ass. On the whole, The Food Network is made up of trash.
With the exception of Robinson and the tragic death of a child……the rest pale in comparison. These cooks go on TV to entertain, hardly an idol to look up to. They are human just as the rest of us.
Read your Bible. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil (though I'd strongly disagree - people who work hard and save money rarely get into trouble, especially kids. No, they are not just "people" or they wouldn't have restaurants, shows and cookbooks.
I have been so fed up with the Food Network ever since the "pandemic." I love to watch Kardea Brown, "Delicious Miss Brown." and Valerie Bertarelli. Ree Drummond is loathsome. Fieri for hours and hours. I'm glad my cable station has it where I can go back and watch my favorites. I also don't like the girl from Minnesota, her recipes are mostly complicated bs. Come on Food Network, you can do better.
Who in the hell deleted/edited my remarks??? I said that I don't like Bobby Flay because his is such a narcissist and that Guy Fieri has too many shows and they are all the same.
I am so sick and tired of people being so darn sensitive and thin skinned and race always being the center of the issue !!! It would be nice if people stop being so thin skinned! !! We're all are born the same and die and bleed the same people are people !!! Stop being ridiculous !!!
I still love you Paula Deen and always will. You are real you cook real food I am from Nashville, TN and I use whole milk, butter and bacon grease. Have you all out their tried it? You will love it. Bacon grease is worth the amount of gold.
Anne Thornton’s show Dessert First wasn’t renewed for a third season because she was accused of having plagiarized her recipes from Ina Garten and Martha Stewart.
Personally I am sick and tired of this “supposed” Asian discrimination. I have lived all over the world and this country and have never seen any of it. I live in an area with a lot of Asians and my daughter’s best friend is Chinese they were both some of the most popular girls at school. They spent the night in each others house and we took her out of town with us all of the time. I have personally NEVER seen the supposed offenses and am tired of hearing about it. And, if you are Asians you don’t have to watch the show where Whitey is cooking Asian food. Get a grip, grow up and grow set!!!!
This video is missing the Sandra Lee Kwanzaa cake where she slathers an angel food cake with doctored up frosting, huge candles and "acorns" (which were really corn nuts) and sunflower seeds all filled with canned apple pie filling.
Right! Mary Soto, a year before the pandemic hit I planned on retiring early so my older daughter could start college because she stayed home to be an aide to her sister so I could work, I also took out a part of my 401k to help me out until I could officially retire, but I told my daughter let's not tell anyone our business about the money. Well the majority of friends and family assumed we were broke and left us alone which was ok with me I enjoyed the privacy, now that we're kinda getting back to having little get togethers people ask how are we and how did we make it through the pandemic I just say we were taken care of and that's it. If people know you have money they'll think up reasons to borrow or help you spend it by inviting you somewhere hoping you'll foot the bill or hint at how hard of a time their having that cost money. I've learned that true friends and maybe some family don't want anything from you but your friendship those are the ones to spend time with because you all pitch in to have a great time.
We went to you’re Atlanta airport 3nights ago and if I knew is ur restaurant I would definitely tried your cheeseburger darn it !!!!! But we tried one of the restaurants of yours in New York and it was perfect 👍☘️💕👍🌷
So they did all that to Ina ask her over and over and she makes time and then it just “ oh no , we’re over it” that’s so messed up. She’s not obligated to meet anybody. Specially in the middle of a book tour And other business promises that have been made. This makes me so mad
I never liked her show, but I agree with you ! This was so messed up! Like you said she had many other obligations, and she worked around them to give the little boy his desire. His father had to be an a** about it and deny his son his dream because she didn't miss his rump instantly!!
I use to watch Food Network all the time....after yrs of watching the same old chefs I stopped! Now everybody just wants to be a star....I want them to hire NEW chefs and just COOK FOOD!!!
The make a wish one kinda pissed me off. Your kid's sick, but that doesn't mean the whole world revolves around them. Super entitled parents making a scandal out of that.
Adam Rapoport hosted the first season of Best Baker in America. I think the reason that season was pulled from streaming services is because he and his wife later caught heat for Instagramming something extremely racist. It was then revealed that he made a lot of racially insensitive remarks while he was editor-in-chief at Bon Appétit magazine (and now that I think about it, on Food Network he did seem to be harsher towards the bakers of color).
What is an "insensitive remark"? I was told it was racially insensitive to mention how much I (not anyone else) enjoyed watermelon during Black History Month. (???). I was religiously insensitive for not agreeing with someone's views (I'm an atheist). It was politically correct to complain about the &*#^ Mexican music at the local restaurant. I hear the last socially acceptable prejudice - making fun of Sountherners - frequently but just ignore it since we make fun of ourselves.
WOOOW!!!! I've always felt that there was something WRONG with that show. Thank was for this. Per Bobby Flay, he had an affair with, and married Giada, check your facts and revise.
I watch cooking shows because I like to cook and try new recipes,not to watch so called chefs eat other people's food and act like it's not good enough for them.I only watch the cooks that actually cook,not those crap contest cooking shows.
Why can’t cooking shows be as simple and enjoyable as the Two Fat Ladies. No fake, plastic smiling, no bizarre gimmicks, just enjoyable and fun to watch. FN has lost its touch.

YES! They were great when they actually still had cooking shows where you could learn how to cook unlike all these game shows these days.

Once a racist is always a racist
I cancelled Food Network about ten years ago. It’s not even a shadow of what it was; more like splattered salmonella around the kitchen.
Same here.
A plethora of bad behavior. Bobby Flay is the most egotistical man ever! They are all human and some of these are just poor or ignorant mistakes. Others are despicable!
Exactly my thoughts!!
He is , I’ve met him and he wasn’t pleasant at all!
I can’t stand him either.
His food isn't even good either, none of his restaurants are anything special.
Seriously!! I stopped watching Bobby a long time ago. He is the height of self obsessed!

Thank you!!!! Finally a real person!-!!
Amen
Way to go. Brown....love your show 👍👍
LMFAO getting mad over chicken wings LOLOL
Can we all just stop and give Stephanie March (Bobby Flay's ex-wife) her dues for being so gangster by hiring out the plane with the "Cheater" banner? Bad. Ass.
On the whole, The Food Network is made up of trash.
“ All that glitters” ..
You forgot to mention one other chef, Giada De Laurentis.
Cheater with Bobby flay
With the exception of Robinson and the tragic death of a child……the rest pale in comparison. These cooks go on TV to entertain, hardly an idol to look up to. They are human just as the rest of us.
The bottom line about any Food Network show...Nobody has a gun to your head, making you watch. Have they never heard of a remote control?
Paula is just upset that she was caught and exposed.
I’d rather watch paint dry,than to put my eyeballs on the Food Network..
Terrible, awful and horrible people!!😡
Wow shows you how money is the root of all evil. We make these chefs stars when all they really are, are just people.
The LOVE of money is the root of all KINDS of evil
Read your Bible. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil (though I'd strongly disagree - people who work hard and save money rarely get into trouble, especially kids. No, they are not just "people" or they wouldn't have restaurants, shows and cookbooks.
Good for Enzo's folks!
What happened to Rachael Ray? Wasn't she a Cook? Why is she selling Dog Food?
As a cook she used her ingredient skills and came up with food for animals who don't get healthy food
I have been so fed up with the Food Network ever since the "pandemic." I love to watch Kardea Brown, "Delicious Miss Brown." and Valerie Bertarelli. Ree Drummond is loathsome.
Fieri for hours and hours. I'm glad my cable station has it where I can go back and watch my favorites. I also don't like the girl from Minnesota, her recipes are mostly complicated bs. Come on Food Network, you can do better.
Who in the hell deleted/edited my remarks??? I said that I don't like Bobby Flay because his is such a narcissist and that Guy Fieri has too many shows and they are all the same.
I think Bobby’s star should go to Emeril. He is the true star.
Yes! He saved the network!
Bobby Flay doesn't deserve the star.
Take a note :……..Success does not give you a license to say or do anything you want .
Only evil people hurt children
I always wondered what happened to these chefs on Food Network.
I am so sick and tired of people being so darn sensitive and thin skinned and race always being the center of the issue !!! It would be nice if people stop being so thin skinned! !! We're all are born the same and die and bleed the same people are people !!! Stop being ridiculous !!!
Imagine how people feel when they have to live everyday realizing that things have gotten worse !
Stop negating other People's real experiences.
I find Alton Brown to be refreshingly honest and brave.
and very comical as well. 👍👍
I still love you Paula Deen and always will. You are real you cook real food I am from Nashville, TN and I use whole milk, butter and bacon grease. Have you all out their tried it? You will love it.
Bacon grease is worth the amount of gold.
Yeah I eat that and I live in New York lmao
Lmfao 😂😂😂 wow you're wild for that
ALL OF THIS GOES TO SHOW, be careful what you say and do, because it may come back to bite you. ESPECIALLY with the internet/social media.
As for Jeff Smith and allegations of sexual assault I know it's true because my brother, being from Tacoma also, was one of his victims.
Along with becoming a chef comes the “ Im a chef” entitlement. Sadly they think they can do or say whatever they feel like.
And they can...its America.....for now anyway.
Your insinuation is that these chefs are no different than anyone else. You’re right; so yes, they can do whatever they like.
@bettyshaffer8289 "this is America.. for now" what does tht even mean?
Celebrity Chefs are not role models. They are models playing chef roles
No one should be so famous to not cook with a sick child who adores you, I really love her, but that was shitty
Anne Thornton’s show Dessert First wasn’t renewed for a third season because she was accused of having plagiarized her recipes from Ina Garten and Martha Stewart.
Personally I am sick and tired of this “supposed” Asian discrimination. I have lived all over the world and this country and have never seen any of it. I live in an area with a lot of Asians and my daughter’s best friend is Chinese they were both some of the most popular girls at school. They spent the night in each others house and we took her out of town with us all of the time. I have personally NEVER seen the supposed offenses and am tired of hearing about it. And, if you are Asians you don’t have to watch the show where Whitey is cooking Asian food. Get a grip, grow up and grow set!!!!
My personal experience Asians are looked upon positively. The Pioneer Woman situation was a real reach
I remember I started watching the Food Network with an Alton Brown show.
This video is missing the Sandra Lee Kwanzaa cake where she slathers an angel food cake with doctored up frosting, huge candles and "acorns" (which were really corn nuts) and sunflower seeds all filled with canned apple pie filling.
All I'm getting out of this is the fact that people need to freakin lighten up....
Hello Don, how are you doing.
@Maria Russo I'm good just kickin it with my pooches and you?
@@donjohnson7189 Nice to hear from you. I'm tired being alone, hope you understand me?
@Maria Russo I'm a married man, Maria.
That's what we go through when everyone wants your attention and funds.
Right! Mary Soto, a year before the pandemic hit I planned on retiring early so my older daughter could start college because she stayed home to be an aide to her sister so I could work, I also took out a part of my 401k to help me out until I could officially retire, but I told my daughter let's not tell anyone our business about the money. Well the majority of friends and family assumed we were broke and left us alone which was ok with me I enjoyed the privacy, now that we're kinda getting back to having little get togethers people ask how are we and how did we make it through the pandemic I just say we were taken care of and that's it. If people know you have money they'll think up reasons to borrow or help you spend it by inviting you somewhere hoping you'll foot the bill or hint at how hard of a time their having that cost money. I've learned that true friends and maybe some family don't want anything from you but your friendship those are the ones to spend time with because you all pitch in to have a great time.
No. That's what they go through when they want attention, adulaton & big bucks. There is a price for entry.
We went to you’re Atlanta airport 3nights ago and if I knew is ur restaurant I would definitely tried your cheeseburger darn it !!!!! But we tried one of the restaurants of yours in New York and it was perfect 👍☘️💕👍🌷
So they did all that to Ina ask her over and over and she makes time and then it just “ oh no , we’re over it” that’s so messed up. She’s not obligated to meet anybody. Specially in the middle of a book tour And other business promises that have been made. This makes me so mad
I never liked her show, but I agree with you ! This was so messed up! Like you said she had many other obligations, and she worked around them to give the little boy his desire. His father had to be an a** about it and deny his son his dream because she didn't miss his rump instantly!!
@@annmcdaniel1092Me to! I was never into her show as well. But they just purposely shamed and embarrassed her. Smh
What idiots. The real villain here is the father.
Why do these days everything has to be about racism, I agree, she isn't obligated, am sure she felt sorry for the boy
@@beatowska it’s so upsetting. It was a lose lose for her no matter how she played it.
Thank you for always putting rape abuse etc phone number, I hope it helps someone ❤
I use to watch Food Network all the time....after yrs of watching the same old chefs I stopped!
Now everybody just wants to be a star....I want them to hire NEW chefs and just COOK FOOD!!!
No network should tell anyone how to speak or fell. 🆘️🇺🇸It's Anerica Not chima❗
I still cant get over how the meats on food network are dripping with blood and they say rare, its cooked.Also they do not wash meats.
And just like that Alton Brown is my new favorite cook! 😍🥰💓
People offended by what he said clearly never watched his show often. He was always saying stuff like that.
The make a wish one kinda pissed me off. Your kid's sick, but that doesn't mean the whole world revolves around them. Super entitled parents making a scandal out of that.
Met Bobby flay and the first thing he said to me was, “do you know who I am?” lol 🤔 😒
Sunshine 🌞
You should have say, 👎 NO!!!
Man!!! Should have responded to Bobby F.""" No,I don't know who you are """!!!°
I would have said, “do you know who I am?” Lol
I've always said if I ever had a celebrity say this to me I'm thinking of the first celebrity they vaguely resemble and calling them that.
I can’t stand Bobby Flay, Giada, Robert Irvine, the Neeleys, Alton Brown or Mario B.
But, George Floyd is a SAINT...??? The hypocrisy is sickening.
Don’t care 🤷♀️ and don’t like any of them. 👍
idk why im watching this, I don't even watch food network
The Food Network became popular because people want to watch chiefs cook … they are just people, not perfect like some of the people watching
Lesson here children…don’t go on tv!
The Neely were keeping up appearances!
Adam Rapoport hosted the first season of Best Baker in America. I think the reason that season was pulled from streaming services is because he and his wife later caught heat for Instagramming something extremely racist. It was then revealed that he made a lot of racially insensitive remarks while he was editor-in-chief at Bon Appétit magazine (and now that I think about it, on Food Network he did seem to be harsher towards the bakers of color).
What is an "insensitive remark"? I was told it was racially insensitive to mention how much I (not anyone else) enjoyed watermelon during Black History Month. (???). I was religiously insensitive for not agreeing with someone's views (I'm an atheist). It was politically correct to complain about the &*#^ Mexican music at the local restaurant. I hear the last socially acceptable prejudice - making fun of Sountherners - frequently but just ignore it since we make fun of ourselves.
@@smb123211 Wow, miss the point much?
@@COMPFUNK2 No, just point it was it not an effing "scandal".
WHY DOESNT THE FOOD NETWORK SCREEN ITS STARS BEFORE THEYR'E HIRED??!!
This is all about the "woke" BS!!!!!!
WOOOW!!!! I've always felt that there was something WRONG with that show. Thank was for this. Per Bobby Flay, he had an affair with, and married Giada, check your facts and revise.
He NEVER married Giada! Check your own facts.

So rich people get intimated because they don’t want to do charity.
I watch cooking shows because I like to cook and try new recipes,not to watch so called chefs eat other people's food and act like it's not good enough for them.I only watch the cooks that actually cook,not those crap contest cooking shows.
