The Kitchen

I enjoy this show with the exception of Marcela. I find her obsession with Mexican food and her constant references to Fausto annoying. She also comes across as being uptight, smug and arrogant. I record the show so that I can fast forward through her sections.

I enjoy all of the other hosts. Jeff Mauro is hilarious and I am so glad he still has a spot on Food Network. Unlike many cooking shows, there are often recipes demonstrated that I want to try. The variety of cooking techniques is also appreciated - grilling, baking, roasting, etc. The four good hosts come across as genuine and fun, and their chemistry seems real.

I used to be obsessed with watching The Kitchen -- followed it through multiple time changes, every weekend and even repeats on Monday. It was fun for the first few seasons, but really lost a lot of its entertainment value when Marcela left. She was kind of a sensible, laid-back personality that balanced the stuffiness and goofiness of the others.

Then Sunny's personality took over the show, drowning out her co-hosts and the food they prepare. I don't know if she does it on purpose or if she cannot help herself. The people behind the scenes must see what the audience sees, but obviously they haven't done enough to make the show bearable. When I last watched, they did have Sunny sitting a lot, which makes it more difficult for her to do her well-documented grab-and-stuff-your-mouth act.

I guess I quit watching after the last break the cast had before Thanksgiving and Sunny looked like she had eaten the whole time. I bet she gained twenty pounds. She is not the only host on FNC to have eaten herself into obesity. Making food for a living must be a frightful life. That is one reason I admire Jeff, who realized he was packing on the pounds and did something positive about it.

Anyway, I quit watching The Kitchen, and that resulted in my turning off my tv entirely. Haven't even missed it. Thanks, Sunny. Ironically I owe you for improving my life -- and I didn't even need a recipe to do it!

I've been reading the reviews on the Food Kitchen some of which go back 5 years. It is sad that the producers have chosen to ignore the comments of their viewers. I too feel that the show would be better if Sunny did not have the attitude that she is the center of attention. Her table manners are atrocious, she talks way too loud, she is disrespectful, she devours food like she has never been feed and she makes watching the show painful. Dial it down Sunny and understand that you are not the show. There are four other individuals who share the space with you. Listen to and respect the viewers. Stop interrupting your co-host and stop with the very bad manners.

Watching a repeat of the Kitchen about salads. Sunny is pathetic! So loud and obnoxious. Today she continues to comment on every segment while grabbing and eating. In a school atmosphere she tries repeatedly to get all the attention from holding a oversized pencil and waving around to once again butting in while hosts are trying to cook with her silly questions "can I have a bathroom pass" etc. - anything to draw attention to her. She is so immature and insecure! If you are going to continue to employ her, please give her a show of her own so that the rest of us DO NOT have to watch!!! Maybe a "glow in the dark" show where her eye shadow and nail polish will provide all the lighting needed.

Sunny needs a broader vocabulary. For someone who supposedly so worldly she doesn't act it on the show. She has to say "you know what I mean" at least five times a show..... Get it out of your vocabulary and you'll sound intelligent. Hasn't any producer corrected her on this? I'm to the point when I know her segment is coming on I fast forward through it....ya know what I mean?! I love the other hosts!
