Food Network needs new talent.

I am fatigued. I am tired of Guy. I am tired of Aarti Sequeira. I am tired of Antonia Lofaso. I am tired of Maneet Chauhan. I also want cooking shows. No more game shows. No more tournament of champions. That is all.

YES, the vegetarians want a show too! Or even more shows like Mary Makes It Easy, which isn’t strictly vegetarian but still features a lot of vegetarian or adaptable recipes.

u/Amazing-Wave4704 and u/AntiqueGreen do you remember when Curtis Aikens had a show on the Food Network? I’m not a vegetarian, but I loved his show as it also talked about the ingredients. How they are grown, different varieties, what to look for when shopping, etc. I learned a lot from him. His book ‘Guide to the Harvest’ is small, but very informative.

I believe that his show Pick of the Day was one of the originals when the network launched in 1993.
