Your Questions About Food Network

Jenny asks…

Cooking channels other than the food network?

I have comcast, and was wondering if there are any channels besides the food network that actually cook food. The food network now is becoming more like a regular tv show. I want to actually learn how to cook food and not watch competitions actually teach you new recipes.

Michelle answers:

There are a few cooking options in the “on Demand” section.

There aren’t any other channels that are dedicated to food/cooking. But like others said PBS has some, and there are all kinds of other shows that also have cooking blurbs such as the news and that sort of stuff.

Nancy asks…

Does anyone have any close connections with Food Network?

I am under 15 years of age and would be ecstatic if I could be on Food Network. I would like tp have my own show. Please please try to help me.I have already emailed them so please do not suggest that.

Michelle answers:

First of all try working in the food business and see if you like it, secondly having a tv show would be twice as stressful. Lastly no one on Y.A is going to know someone on food network, and if they did, they wouldn’t tell some random 15 year old with no experience. Sorry to be harsh but its true.

Mandy asks…

Which Food Network stars film their shows in their own kitchens?

Some of their kitchens look so huge, I can’t imagine that they are in the celebrity’s house. Especially some of the newer stars. For example, Aarti and Melissa both won The Next Food Network Star. Their shows are filmed in kitchens that seem too big for their background stories on the show. Does anyone know which kitchens are legit and which are staged?

Michelle answers:

It is known that Paula Deen tapes her show in her Savannah, GA home and that Pat and Gina Neely tape in their actual Tennesee home…Aarti Sequiera and Melissa D’Arabian tape their shows at Food Network’s studio in Brooklyn, as do Guy Fieri (the studio-bound Guy’s Big Bite), Rachael Ray (30 Minute Meals), Tyler Florence, Claire Robinson, Alex Guarachelli (sp), Anne Burrell and the much-despised [by Anthony Bourdain followers and food critics] Sandra Lee.

GIada De Laurentiis actually rents out a house in the Los Angeles area for six months and compensates the owner by putting the family up in a rental property during the six months needed to film her show. Alton Brown tapes Good Eats on location all around the Atlanta, GA area where he lives.
