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!!
By JOSIPA E.
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.

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!!!
