Food Network cancels The Kitchen after 11 years as co-hosts react

Food Network has announced that its weekend talk show The Kitchen will end after an 11-year run, with the final episode scheduled for 13 December.

The show, which has produced 40 seasons and more than 500 episodes, will conclude as the network reevaluates its 2026 programming priorities. Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns Food Network, is separating its linear channels from streaming services.

Co-host Jeff Mauro took to Instagram to express his gratitude, describing the show as "a unicorn" and thanking his fellow presenters Sunny Anderson, Katie Lee Biegel, Geoffrey Zakarian and Alex Guarnaschelli. He recalled memorable moments with guests such as Daniel Radcliffe, Trisha Yearwood, Vanilla Ice and Rev Run.

The Kitchen, which first aired in January 2014, featured recipes, food trends and cooking tips, with notable guests including Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Rachael Ray and Bobby Flay.

The final episode will air on Saturday, 13 December at 11 a.m. ET.
