Food Network went the way of MTV, pandering to the 21 to 36 YO male advertising demographic, ignoring food and music fans. Their chosen demographic wanted drama, not food or music, so, abandoning true fans, and proving incapable of capturing the cash cows of ad revenues, this is what happens, when you prioritize profit, before the product you offer.
Do you mean Anthony Bourdain? Why? He had been suicidal for decades, since he was 15. It was a big reason why he was a heroin addict. It's complex, but no big surprise. How? He hung himself in the closet of a hotel room in Paris, when he should have been having the time of his life.
Are you a fan of the Food Network?
Used to be, but not anymore. The main reason I got my dish.

Nope. It's turned into reality competition crap for which I have zero interest.
From its early days - yeah! But now, it’s SO Guy Fieri-HEAVY that it’s RIDICULOUS!! He literally muscled out the cooking chef!
No, not now. I loved Valerie's shows so much but they now put shows that just don't interest me.
Emeril and Alton Brown were the two best hosts the Food Network ever had.
I miss Rachel and Valerie because they really helped me cook. I feel it's wrong you let them go.
I miss Anthony Bourdain ❤!!!!!
I really like Sarah Moulton and Rachel Rae I never saw Valerie Bertinelli’s Food Network show
No Reservations was on the Travel Channel, not CNN. Bourdain moved to CNN after the owners of The Food Network bought it.
Exactly
Slammed food network here, and rest of cable-garbage, Cancelled do not miss, PBS much better!
And then endorsed the worst air fryer on the market.
Now everyone knows... Anthony was a miserable person. 🤷♂️ The truth doesn't care about your feelings.
Why and how did he commit suicide?😢

Sounds like he needed AA and not be on that show drinking.
Never liked Sandra Lee
Me too!!!!
Maybe food network should have picked a better quality hosts for their shows
