Food Network’s “The Kitchen” to Close Its Doors After 10-Year Run

NEW YORK, NY – After a decade of dishing out recipes, food trends, and family meal tips, Food Network’s popular weekend talk show, “The Kitchen,” is set to conclude its run this December. The final episode of the Emmy-nominated series, co-hosted by Sunny Anderson, Katie Lee Biegel, Jeff Mauro, Geoffrey Zakarian, and recurring guest star Alex Guarnaschelli, will air on Saturday, December 13th at 11 a.m. ET.

Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of Food Network, cited a network-wide evaluation of resources and programming priorities, coupled with the planned separation of linear channels from streaming services and studios, as reasons for the cancellation.

“For over a decade Sunny, Katie, Jeff, Geoffrey and more recently Alex have engaged audiences with their individual and distinct food sensibilities and sense of humor that together make ‘The Kitchen’ a delicious way to spend an hour,” said Betsy Ayala, head of food content for Warner Bros. Discovery. “Everyone knows all good parties end up in ‘The Kitchen,’ where the conversation, laughs and food flow.”

“The Kitchen,” which premiered in January 2014, has been a staple of Food Network’s weekend programming. Over its 40+ seasons, the show welcomed a diverse range of celebrity guests, including actors Daniel Radcliffe and Regina King, musicians Martina McBride and Vanilla Ice, and renowned chefs such as Martha Stewart and Bobby Flay.

The show is produced by Garden Slate Productions for Food Network.
