Which of these scandals were you most surprised by?
-
I have NO sympathy for any celebrity chef who steals overtime pay and tips from their workers! Like, how much more wealth do you need to satisfied? You’re already rich AND famous!
-
The biggest scandal is how every food show today has 20 chef wannabes running around like it’s American Idol food edition. Stop with the judges please!!
-
99% of celebrity chefs are overrated, you don't need a thousand ingredients to make a good meal.
-
Cooking a dish from another culture is not cultural appropriation. Its cultural appreciation. Many of the "traditional dishes" you enjoy today would not exist if people did not share recipes and techniques with each other.
-
Bosses who steal tips should be named and shamed.
-
I am stupider after watching this.
-
The unceremonious way this video switched hosts towards the end is a scandal in itself.
-
Jamie Olivers so called "scandal" is ridiculous. If taco bell can say they sell "mexican food" then Jamie Oliver can sell rice called basically whatever he wants.
-
I wasn't aware that you had to be Asian to cook Asian food, Jamaican to cook Jamaican food, etc, etc, So I guess we need to burn our Julia Child's cook books. She wasn't French. And to all of you home cooks who are making Swiss buttercream, or Italian buttercream, you'd better cut it out. No spaghetti for dinner if you're not from Italy. This is just a ridiculous thought process.
-
I have worked with several “Celebrity Chefs” in my career, almost all of them were over-rated and had egos far greater than there talent. It’s food people, get real! Many un-sung, hard working hero’s in the food business and lots of egotistical nonsense.
-
Food network has done horrible damage to the culinary industry. And consumers have paid the price, not just the chefs and cooks.
-
It's no wonder that Alton Brown now comes across as an "angry old man" (in my eyes) being surrounded with a bunch of people whose job it is to prop themselves up.
-
I remember enjoying the food network years ago when it started. Really liked the instructional focus. Haven't watched it since they jumped the shark with all the wacky game shows. I think Guy's Grocery is a great example of a show that makes you leave a channel and never come back.
-
So you have to be Asian to make Asian wings and Jamaican to make jerk chicken? I’m Swedish, love cooking Italian food…….am I breaking some kind of culinary law? 🤷🏼♀️
-
The funniest is the uproar over the jerk rice. Some sensitive folks out there thinking they actually have dominion over a flavor profile...
-
Anyone that has dreams of being famous is crazy. Once you are there, someone is going to try and tear you down. Stealing is one thing but some of that stuff is ridiculous.
-
Ironic how Gina Neely said she had never wanted to "live her life out loud like that", but then participated in a tv dating show. Inviting viewers to watch you in the kitchen is a lot less "out loud" than inviting them into your love life.
-
These people are narcissistic cooks, not chefs. The food Network has always sucked, have you ever been to any of those diners drive inns and dives, I have and the majority of them sucked. On the other hand every place I visited that Anthony Bourdain had visited was exactly how he described it. Probably the reason he was not a regular on the food network.
-
That's the worst they could do for Jamie Oliver. 😂
