Valerie Bertinelli has now joined the chorus of dissenting voices disappointed in the once-commanding juggernaut The Food Network. On Threads, she wrote "I fell in love with Food Network two decades ago because of all the amazing ITK (in the kitchen) shows. 30 minute meals, Ina, Giada . . . the list goes on. I learned so much. It’s sad it’s not about cooking and learning any longer. Oh well, that’s just business, folks."
Bertinelli's comment was in response to a cookbook author named Marlynn Schotland who asked the question that many have been pondering over the past decade or so: "I miss actual cooking shows on @foodnetwork. Remember those? Do you know what this world does NOT need? Yet another cooking competition show."
