Which of these scandals were you most surprised by?
The disturbing and violent change in narrators at 11:47
The Ina Garten one. It shouldn't have been a scandal. Being a person on television doesn't obligate you to fulfill the wishes of dying children.
Actually, I wish I had not watched this video.
That would be none of them. A-holes be a-holes. Questions?
None of them. They're all full of themselves. Stopped watching Food Network a long time ago.
99% of celebrity chefs are overrated, you don't need a thousand ingredients to make a good meal.
Not all do.. some competitions you only get 5 or 6 to make a meal.. watch more !!!😂😂
Oh yes, it's the quality of the ingredients that matter.
I don't know so much that they're overrated as that everyone handles success differently. Not just chefs but artist and musicians fall into the same trap and their ego gets the best of them and a lot of times they get away from the whatever made them famous to begin with.
The biggest scandal is how every food show today has 20 chef wannabes running around like it’s American Idol food edition. Stop with the judges please!!
Don’t watch any of them. Huge egos and they aren’t worth it.
I cut cable 2 years ago & saved $5,000 for other things. I stream but don’t have my TVs on 24/7 which is nice! Oh & I read more!
The unceremonious way this video switched hosts towards the end is a scandal in itself.
That totally threw me 😂😂😂
Cooking a dish from another culture is not cultural appropriation. Its cultural appreciation.
Many of the "traditional dishes" you enjoy today would not exist if people did not share recipes and techniques with each other.
I know, that last one was the most ridiculous woke-based "scandal". I don't like Jamie Oliver much, but the fact that he was "not allowed" to make a Jamaican based product because he's not Jamaican is ridiculous.
Yes, the Jamie Oliver "mistake" is what cuisine from around the world is about. It's incredible that he was raked over the coals for his "jerked rice."
Just watch Uncle Roger when he see's a bunch of dumbasses making fried rice
@@ViaMirage I'm not white but I can clearly see there is an anti-white sentiment pervasive in the woke warriors. Gross. Nobody in their right mind would harp on an African American calling something Irish that is not the most authentic.
Collaboration is wonderful and cultural diffusion is evolution in action.
It's a Free world isn't it ? We can enjoy ALL food. And make our version of it. A way to make peace and be friendly IS FROM FOOD ❤😊 me casa tu casa.
I have NO sympathy for any celebrity chef who steals overtime pay and tips from their workers! Like, how much more wealth do you need to satisfied? You’re already rich AND famous!
Exactly! He was barely paying them to begin with, but to steal their tips?
So totally! But then, we shouldn't be surprised when successful, wealthy people can be the greediest and cruelest, most exploitive people especially to those who are less successful, less wealthy.
i left a local pastry shop who runs mostly off of tips. min pay was $9 and the tips was redistributed to every employee and owner.
To the rich enough is never enough.
I agree 100%, sadly this happens in just about every aspect of business, especially the Printing and arts industry
Bosses who steal tips should be named and shamed.
Absolutely...a couple of 3rd degree burns wouldn't be bad either..
Hahahah!! Made me laugh! Thank you!@@michaelmoore2802
@@michaelmoore2802 why do waiters have such violent reactions to things? Yes, name and shame, but 3rd degree burns? Like, WTF?!!
2 funny. 😁
I mean they aren't even paying a real salary and they want to take the one part of their job income that actually allows them to live? It's disgusting and disturbing. I don't like the pooling of tips either. If I have a great waiter I want them to receive the tip I gave them, not have to share it with others. wtf
Jamie Olivers so called "scandal" is ridiculous. If taco bell can say they sell "mexican food" then Jamie Oliver can sell rice called basically whatever he wants.
Give it a rest already. Taco Bell is in the genre of Mexican fast food, so live with it. So are Taco John's, Qdoba, Del Taco, Chipotle, and others that people like you leave out of your tired and pathetic discussions.
Totally, LIBERAL CANCELTARD BS
Ya, people just love to cry about everything! The whole Paula Dean "diabetes" thing really infuriated me too! People are mad because she didn't announce it earlier? It's none of their damn business in the first place! She can tell people when and if she wants to! If the people who ate that heavy food of hers didn't know the food was unhealthy, well then they need to run out and purchase a brain! I watched her show because I found it entertaining, not to get butter recipes. lol

@@TimInUT Sounded like they were more annoyed that she seemed to wait until getting a pharmaceutical sponsorship deal in place
Food network has done horrible damage to the culinary industry. And consumers have paid the price, not just the chefs and cooks.
I am stupider after watching this.
I wasn't aware that you had to be Asian to cook Asian food, Jamaican to cook Jamaican food, etc, etc, So I guess we need to burn our Julia Child's cook books. She wasn't French. And to all of you home cooks who are making Swiss buttercream, or Italian buttercream, you'd better cut it out. No spaghetti for dinner if you're not from Italy. This is just a ridiculous thought process.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I haven't watched TV in decades. This video affirms that will not change.
That's the worst they could do for Jamie Oliver. 😂
I remember enjoying the food network years ago when it started. Really liked the instructional focus. Haven't watched it since they jumped the shark with all the wacky game shows. I think Guy's Grocery is a great example of a show that makes you leave a channel and never come back.
I agree. Plus with many of them, their egos got too big.
I agree, these guys think they are rock stars now, guy hardly cooks, he`s a celebrity these days. They say he`s not real fun to work with, theres a shock.
And then they had to launch The Cooking Channel
I remember the Essence of Emeril. It was a great COOKING show. No over the top stuff, just him explaining things about a recipe. After season 1 of Emeril Live he lost me. As for the scandals what is up with these chefs? Even on PBS they had at least one scandal with Jeff Smith whose show I really enjoyed.
I grew up with Yan Can Cook. Instructional and entertaining.
I have worked with several “Celebrity Chefs” in my career, almost all of them were over-rated and had egos far greater than there talent. It’s food people, get real! Many un-sung, hard working hero’s in the food business and lots of egotistical nonsense.
Placing anyone on a pedestal is always ill-advised.
I wish I could go back to the days of PBS watching Lidia Bastianich, Ming Sai, Michael Chiarella ( R. I. P), and the crew of America's Test Kitchen but they don't air those shows anymore, at least not on my local station. I try not to focus on the star's personal lives. We are all joined by our love of cooking and I try to learn tips and tricks that will enhance my cooking skills. I love hospitality and cooking for others, is to me, an opportunity to give love and comfort to others. Making a meal is fun and I love sharing it with others. Whatever these people are dealing with behind the scenes, pray for them, don't revel in their failures.
Thank God the internet personalities have taken over, almost everybody famous is pompous. So much talent out there. Now youtubers are releasing their own cookbooks and restaurant chefs are making their own content.
🙌🏼
Name 3 that you have actually worked with....
It's no wonder that Alton Brown now comes across as an "angry old man" (in my eyes) being surrounded with a bunch of people whose job it is to prop themselves up.
Right!! I used to love watching Good Eats. Last time I saw his show was during Covid and he seemed angry as hell.
The funniest is the uproar over the jerk rice. Some sensitive folks out there thinking they actually have dominion over a flavor profile...
These people are narcissistic cooks, not chefs. The food Network has always sucked, have you ever been to any of those diners drive inns and dives, I have and the majority of them sucked. On the other hand every place I visited that Anthony Bourdain had visited was exactly how he described it. Probably the reason he was not a regular on the food network.
we tried two of those DDD places, they were horrible.
Lol damn
Truth about the Diners drive ins and dives. I tried many in different states based on their recommendations and was very disappointed.
What really sucks is the host...Guy Fioritti (?- spelling) but anywho....a real piece of misogynistic 💩
I've been to around a dozen and all have been great.
So you have to be Asian to make Asian wings and Jamaican to make jerk chicken?
I’m Swedish, love cooking Italian food…….am I breaking some kind of culinary law? 🤷🏼♀️
Yes, and your racist. JK, the general public is just stupid and brainwashed by social media/media in general.
No, the reaction to the Asian inspired dish dripping with racist undertones is the scandal... Why did they think that was smart to air? Don't out you and your family as closet racists and think that's ok. I don't think you're busy making racist comments to the neighbors while eating foods with flavors from other cultures.
Jamie and the jerk rice is dumb though. He's just bad at cooking.
Yes. You are a horrible person. Meatballs, that's all you can make. Nothing else.
You've violated several international laws with your reckless cooking! Stick to Swedish Meatballs and Lingonberry Jam! 🤣
I think it's awesome to try different cuisines. Makes things interesting.
Yes you are culturally appropriating and you are hurting people, please stick with pork and beans for peace and love
I always wondered how Giadas neck held up that big head.
😂😂😂
that would be the last thing I would wonder about her . . .
She irks me when she makes it a point to use Italian accents when uses something from Italy. I mean through out her whole segment when creating a salad she'll use an American accents but when she picks up some mozzarella cheese....lol!!!
That comment was sooo funny 😁
Funny!
Anyone that has dreams of being famous is crazy. Once you are there, someone is going to try and tear you down. Stealing is one thing but some of that stuff is ridiculous.
Ironic how Gina Neely said she had never wanted to "live her life out loud like that", but then participated in a tv dating show. Inviting viewers to watch you in the kitchen is a lot less "out loud" than inviting them into your love life.
I wonder how much, if any, the extra income and asset values due to the show, shall we say, sweetened up her half of the divorce settlement.
Those love lives are completely fake, but I take your point.
I was just getting ready to comment this
It`s all about the money right.
She's been full of it since Day 1
Its crazy how many owners/ chefs want a piece of the wait staff tips.
Wage theft is rampant and easy in the restaurant industry.
It's even crazier how much employee theft occurs in all businesses, and especially restaurants.
Wow😮
Capitalism does tend to keep 5% of the population permanently unemployed to keep a low wage pool to get employees.
without the owners the workers would have no tips
There was nothing wrong with what Jamie Oliver did ... only Jamaican chefs can make jerk flavoured food? How many non-Asian chefs have made fried rice?
That is so crazy that somebody would say that he can’t make jerk chicken because he’s not Jamaican. What the what?
Shall we find instances where Jamaicans are using, to their advantage, things that did not originate in their country? Ever heard of Jamaican coffee?
Coffee was first grown for trade in, what, Ethiopia? Therefore, anybody outside of Ethiopia who grows, trades in, or consumes anything with products of the coffee plant in them, as well as anybody who uses the products of the coffee plant in ways that were not invented in Ethiopia, is guilty of coffee-cultural appropriation. So, ... ATTENTION!! Coffee traders and consumers in Jamaica and all over the world (except in Ethiopia, of course)!! Cease your coffee-cultural appropriation!! Cease your quest to become filthy rich on the trade of cultural-appropriation beans!! Cease your quest for instant caffeination from cultural-appropriation beans!! Cease your addiction to the burned bean from anywhere but Ethiopia!!
He should at least say he's "solly".
I’m so sick of that crap. Make and eat what you want. Sick of being accused of that stuff when I get a craving and make it and post it to IG. The word racism doesn’t even mean anything anymore because of these ignorant people
ok, thanks whitey. keep pushing your supremacy on the rest of us.
I was addicted to Food Network, but when my favorite chefs started disappearing I stopped watching them. It has been long ago.
💯
The people complaining about Jamie Oliver's rice can go pound sand
Anne Burrell, has she taking a look at herself in the mirror. That hairstyle has to go 😡😡😡😡
It's truly unbelievable how they get away with things and say such nasty comments. Bravoooooo to the people that sue and won 👏👏👏👏
Exactly! Bcse she’s a dam car wreck in the face! And yes that psycho azz hair style makes it no better!
Love Anne. Including her hair
Anne, the hostile lezzy
It’s one thing to be sexually harassed but to have it done by Batali is next-level trauma 🤮
Would that be "assault and Batali"?
😬
How can these people do these things to their employees is beyond me. How do they sleep at night.
How can you not use question marks?*
We had a guy in BC Canada that ran a restaurant and would hire impressionable females.. one guy told me the condoms were piled up outside. The Crown (D.A. in Canada) FiNALLY made their move after YEARS and he did prison time, five years. but the young he hired were .....well, vulnerable so that's why he picked them. Today we'd call him a serial predator.
On a pile of money...that's how they sleep at night.
Man do I miss Anthony Bourdain…he definitely wasn’t one to sugarcoat things lol
Sugarcoat? Pun intended😅?
Isn't that the guy who ate blood soup and said everyone should eat it?
That dude was a clown
nobody miss him....
Actually Tony sugarcoated everything any time he went to some authoritarian country like China or Saudi Arabia. He never made a show in the American South where he suddenly wasn't obligated to mention it's "dark past of slavery". However, every single time he went to China (where actual slavery and human rights abuses are still rampant) he would brush it off by saying the show wasn't about politics, only about travel and food. Cowardly double standard from St. Anthony.
Y’all are some haters Bourdain was the G.O.A.T.
You entirely missed the main part of the Mario Batali sexual assault story. Batali was accused of drugging and raping waitresses in restaurants he owned a stake in. It was said that some of the co-workers of one of the waitresses actually saw the assault happening on the security cameras.
It is caught on camera, you can find the vid of him gropping a drugged woman in a lounge. I believe it was on a 60minutes or Dateline.
What a fukn pos! He should be in JAIL! Wtf! Thanks for the info!
And then he stole their tips, dude is disgusting.
wow
Why was he cleared of all charges.? Another Hunter Biden POS
A Chef's health is no one's business but THEIR OWN!!! Just as OUR health issues are OUR business.

Amen!!

That kwanza cake was just as authentic as the made up holiday by a Berkley professor
Aren’t all holidays “made up”?
@@ItsMe-dr7irlol😂I came to see this reply, and you did not disappoint. Thank you 😊
@@voodoochile4147 🙌🏾
@@ItsMe-dr7ir Holidays were usually celebrations of significant cultural events or dates of significance for a country. Cinco de Mayo or Independence day are not made up events.
Christmas is meant to celebrate the birth of Christ, but many of the traditions that individual families celebrate on that day are based on the cultures of people who eventually converted (or were converted) into the religion and added their own cultural twist. The Roman Festival of Saturnalia overlapped into Christmas and many of the Christians living in the Roman Empire at that time incorporated gift-giving and traditions of that festival into Christmas itself. There is even some who believe that the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree itself could be influenced by Nordic and Saxon pagan tribes and was simply integrated by people of those descent that converted later on.
Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic Calendar which is dedicated to spiritual reflection in commemoration of the Prophet Muhammed's first revelation.
Halloween is a mimicry of typical pagan Harvest Festivals that many cultures celebrate.
Kwanzaa however was manufactured by an activist who wanted to provide African Americans with a non-christian means of celebrating the holidays.
He does not even deny the fact that he made it up.
He used a mix of Swahili and Zulu traditions but didn't even stay true to those traditions. In fact you can say he culturally appropriated those tribal customs of indigenous peoples of Africa because not all African Americans in the US can claim descent from those individual tribes.
I think its very telling that not a single country in Africa celebrates Kwanzaa and yet its supposed to be an "African" tradition.
If you want to celebrate it then more power to you I could care less, but don't deny the fact that Kwanzaa was manufactured.
@@ItsMe-dr7irKwanzaa is signicantly modern compared to most holidays globally celebrated.
It is NOT cultural appropriation to make food from any culture. Food is meant to be shared experimented with and fused with our own cultures. If this were not the case many dishes simply would never have come into existence because they historically have used spices or other ingredients not native to the source of origin for that dish.
No...but " I wouldn't do that to you all" eff that!
Sure but don't make a gross face.
I agree. The Chinese aren't suing nor seeking reparations because Marco Polo introduced pasta to Italy in the 13th century.
For Jamaicans to think that Jamie Oliver making a Jerk Rice product was "cultural appropriation" is nothing other than sour grapes.
You are right. But if you do a shitty job like that cake and try to pass it off, that is wrong
@@KamiInValhalla Crappy food has no cultural bounds unfortunately lol.
That last one was the most ridiculous woke-based "scandal". I don't like Jamie Oliver much, but the fact that he was "not allowed" to make a Jamaican based product because he's not Jamaican is ridiculous.
All of these are wild but I was so sad about Nigella's situation & The Neely's when those incidents went down. But I'm betting more people are the most upset about Rachel's dog food 🤔
I see no problem with Ina's case. Seems just entitlted ppl who can't take no for an answer. And then threw a fit. At least she's realistic and honest, Ina said she can't meet because of her busy schedule
It's just seen as something particularly cold and callous. This wasn't just any child that wanted this, it was a little boy with leukemia and the Make-a-Wish foundation was trying to have his greatest wish fulfilled: to spend time with his favorite chef. She had an event or two that people strongly felt could have been rescheduled in favor of this, but she chose not to. And yes, was within her rights to decline the request, but actually declining not just once, but twice, was never going to be a good look.
@@aforest3889 i understand that but she has a right t decline if her schedule is too dang busy. She didn't decline twice. From what i understand they kept asking and she said no. There's gonna be ppl who will respond just like you and get emotional saying this was a special kid making his darnest wish hoping to meet her. And because she said no, make her out to be this cold heartless villan. At least she wasn't cruel about saying no. I don't think they gives her a "bad look" either. People are allowed to have their own life and busy schedule. You need to understand this is an adult and a public figure who's probably has a million things on her plate. Saying no does not make her evil or heartless. Dissapointment sucks but its concerning that kids parents chastised her in public for saying no.
She does not care about kids…. Chose not to have any. She is all about herself.
@@ashrafjafri1134 a person is selfish for choosing not to have kids?

Imagine owning a successful and thriving business; but seeing the very people who help to create your wealth as fair game for an extra profit.
I guess it shows the true calibre of the individual.
True piece of shyte caliber with pizza dough connamon rolls . what a maroon
They didn't "help" they were paid.
@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503 So that makes them fair game to be exploited then. Even if they were "paid".
To the rich enough is never enough.
Greedy, greedy!
Oliver did nothing wrong.
Other than his cooking
Agreed. What's he supposed to do? Only make British food?
Usually people that say "cultural appropriation" are bitter because someone else gets "credit" for something that they somehow feel entitled to. Nobody's going to think Oliver created "jerk" food, nor does he pretend that it's his creation. If he only created British food, people would probably accuse him of being xenophobic.
I mean, besides making terrible looking food.
I don't care what he did behind the scenes and don't really want to know -- I can only say I loved watching Anthony Bourdain and was devastated by his death. He was so much fun to watch in his travels. That dude would eat ANYthing. He was real. Miss him so much.
I feel the same about him. I'm going to Vietnam at the end of this month and will certainly taste the street food that he loved there and take in the beauty! My cousin was kia 1969 during the war so it's going to be bittersweet some of the time. I'm looking forward to all of it.
Anthony was a class act who didnt tolerate BS what a shame
The Ina Garten thing is so ridiculous -- did they really make a scandal out of that? The lady had a busy schedule and couldn't fulfill the Make a Wish request. Is she somehow obligated to drop everything "because the children"? She harmed nobody, let it go.
As much as I roll my eyes at Jamie Oliver, he also did nothing morally wrong with his jerk chicken rice. Culinary sins aside, what, you can't be a different ethnicity than the food you make? So as a caucasian person I can't make Asian, Italian, etc food? Get real. JO's food may be inauthentic but that's hardly "cultural appropriation".
I know! Some of these are hardly scandalous. 🙄
Had she made time for that baby it would have hoisted her career to a new level, she just didn't think there was anything in it for HER...that's what happened, then to ask the parents to make time out of THEIR schedule to come on the show so that SHE could look better...no thank you...I never did like her either...FAKE, and her husband in his little red car and ALWAYS talking about how they lived in the Hamptons...we get it, ur too rich for us...LOL...FAKE
I doubt she even knew about the requests until the blog post the family made. Those kind of requests are usually handled by multiple levels of managers.
Yes actually she does need to DROP EVERYTHING. I mean are you that selfish?
Guy is my hero
Food network needs to clean house with all those over rated cooks. They condone nasty people with overblown egos. Get rid of every filthy one.
100% agree
*Why do so many people care about other peoples lives and such trivial crap as the jerk chicken rice?? Its called a recipe which anyone can write.*
Telling someone no because you have a busy schedule is not wrong. Just because the individual has an illness doesn’t mean you can drop your schedule to grant their wish. She shouldn’t have needed to do damage control.
Here's the thing about Make a Wish. It's an incredible organization, but no one should ever be criticized for choosing not to participate. I commend those who do, but others have no obligation to anyone else, not even a sick child who is not their own. Doesn't make them bad people at all unless they are trying to extort these families.
💯
I agree. Criticizing Ina for that was silly. I bet that little boy got a very meaningful experience with the dolphins. 🐬
Jamie Olive oil just can't catch a break. First uncle Roger and now this. LMAO
😅😅😅😮
this is interesting. Thanks for the video. I used to watch a lot of the Food Network and I always loved to watch Diners Drive-ins and Dives and Barefoot Contessa. I later got tired of Ina Garten bragging about being best friends with the Obamas and I just stopped watch the Food Network altogether.
Ina Garten being too busy but then later invited the person is hardly a scandal.
Agreed. While it would have been a nice gesture to fulfill the boy’s wish, using the charity as some sort of online shaming cudgel is just wrong. No one should feel forced to do charitable acts. It seems ever since social media became a thing, there’s too much emphasis on performative gestures.
Ina garden only got interested in this 6 year old little boy who's passing away after the public scandal went public , guy Ferrari is a peace of shit he's always been very 2 faced always making fun of GAY people I heard guy saying he's tired of guys checking him out druling over him ,
she had to be forced to
About the only chefs that I thought didn’t come off as complete douche bags were Alton Brown and Tyler Florence.
I miss Anthony B he was a straight up guy.
Sold his soul to the devil......
untill he met the clintons ? Another victom of hillary...
He was a grumpy asshole and was self-admittedly short tempered and rude. But he was who he was, owned it: that’s admirable.
Don’t watch Road Runner.
I'm sick of seeing Jimmy Dean (long deceased) sausage commercials, using his voice, on TV, over and over. IMO they are disgusting. His remarried wife is probably behind all of it. I saw them in a restaurant in Branson, Mo one time and she was a real nasty person. She inherited everything he had. Now that's what I call GREED.
The big scandal here is how the narrator's voice changed halfway through the video.
I think the first one got caught up in some sort of scandal!
One could argue the voice was culturally appropriated from the Brits. 🤣😂🤣
😂😅
That ain't all that changed😅😅
Aunt Sandy's cake is probably the realist thing about the made-up fake holiday(s) known as Kwanzaa. Here have some Kwanzaa snow (IYKYK)
Back before I cut the cable, I enjoyed occasionally watching some of these "chefs", but the more I watched, the more I realized that their screen personae were fake and their cooking wasn't that impressive. Most were either fake nice guys and gals or somewhat attractive people who were using their looks rather than their ability to actually, you know, cook. I was not surprised by any of these "scandals", and the only ones to really upset me were the people who stole from their employees. That's just plain low.
It seems like all that's on Food Network anymore is game shows. It's rare if I can find any instructional content on that channel.
I'm white and i'm NEVER going to ask anyone's permission to make whatever kinda food i wish for nor i am going to apologize anyone for it.
And i will name my food just the way i feel like, it's nobody's business.
you go white guy lol
You're right nobody cares!
What's funny about Paula is they got mad because of the amount of Butter she used! But ALl I hear from the cooking shows all over the judges always COMPLAIN NOT ENOUGH SALT LOL Hypocrits!
So many of these "scandals" are such BS and just overexaggertated gossip. A few are definitely scandals like the sexual harrasment and stealing mony from employees. But the rest are just nonsense.
I don't even watch these people, but there was a commercial with Bobby Flay and Giada and as soon as I saw it, I said they're messing around.
Wow, did Flay certainly get the upgrade. Giada?! I'll butter your toast in the morning ...
Yeah, my wife and I have been saying that for years. They have some pretty weird on-screen chemistry.
I thought Giada was really into BBC's.
I miss Neely's BBQ - one was a few blocks from my office and I use to eat there regularly. Another was near my home. You would always see Pat and Gina at the location near my office and it was always crowded at lunch time. Amazing BBQ!
He seems like a good guy --- SHE IS A WITCH.
Her cultural appropriation of her hair style still gives me nightmares. I had to go into therapy. It's a scandal that Y'all didn't find that a scandal.

I've been in the restaurant business my whole life. It's a sick, seedy business. Workers treated like sh*t.
And you stayed in it your whole life????😮
@@mistyvioletconservative.3889 Yes, because my passion is art. I've had two solo shows and my work is in museums. Good resume but it doesn't pay the bills. But also, I was good at it. My bosses loved me. Of course they did. I had to work holidays, weekends, no sick days, and I've never had health insurance in my entire adult life. Biden denied railroad workers their Constitutional right to unionize and he denied them sick pay. It's a world ruled by the elite. I just keep my head down and work, work, work. It's people like me, the butcher plant worker, the asparagus picker, the dishwasher and cook, who keep this economy alive. The rich get richer by subjugating the poor. It's a feature of capitalism. What I fight for is the rights of all working class workers. The Mexicans at my restaurant don't have a voice. They pay taxes but they can't collect unemployment. Everywhere you turn there are exploited workers. In today's news, the Kroger grocery chain was exposed by trafficking in slave labor.

My former employer at a very busy local pizza shop pocketed the tips. The jar was pretty full every night. We, the employees, got nothing. She was also not a nice person. I quit after 5 months. Not sure how much $ I was cheated.
I’m sorry
I mean her Kwanza cake was as authentic as the actual "holiday" lol
Giada has always acted like a cat in heat 24/7
I can't stand that woman. She doesn't even eat food. How she got involved with anything food channel is beyond me.
she was never even nice to her husband Todd, it was hard to watch
@@kellymcginnis8631 What was hardest to watch was her speaking with an American accent except when she pronounced every Italian word "the Italian way". 🤦♂
yes, that too. So annoying. @@chrisb2535
I feel for her, she’s a survivor of child abuse. Go easy on her, it’s important for her to be slight theatrical to be on tv.
Most of these "scandals" are so petty and ridiculous.
Ripping off employees would be maybe the only legit one.
@@dlewis9760 totally agree with that. But, the other ones are lame. People need to take a chill pill.
Drugging women and sexually assaulting them is petty?
@@MissZiss as I said in my previous comment, the petty scandals are ones like apparently making an inappropriate joke or comment (which are most of the ones featured), not something like defrauding workers, or the one you indicated. You are talking about the exception to the rule there, and I think you know it and full well what I meant. There are only 2 serious ones that I can recall.
@@MissZiss So "most" means "all" in your book?
I like how its stated that "jerk is a apice rub..." when thats not right either. Jerk is a STYLE/METHOD of cooking
To be honest, Sandra Lee’s inauthentic Kwanzaa cake was no more inauthentic than anything else about Kwanzaa.🤗
Why is Kwanza inauthentic?? Is Christmas, Hanukkah??
Paula deans diabetes-her business if and when she announces it to the public and she can cook what she wants, you don’t have to watch her cook or make her dishes. Many famous chefs probably make foods they don’t eat. I make a mean potato salad but I have never eaten it because I don’t eat Mayo. That doesn’t make me a fraud or a bad cook
I despise Paula Deans racist ass. Still, you're right on that part. I am allergic to coconut and I do not like chocolate, yet one of my most famous cakes is a German Chocolate cake with pecans and coconut. I make what I k now will taste good, so I'm with you. There are chefs who love meat, but will do Vegan dishes just to satisfy those who need them. You're right.
@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 I despise what she said. That being said we are not the same people we were 20 years ago and at her age she has probably reinvented herself several times. I remember as a teen I absolutes hated this one girl I was in a social club with. As an adult I recognized my behavior as jealousy. She had a fancy princess phone-I’m showing my age. We came back into each others view through a HS page. I messaged her and apologized for my bratty behavior. Now we are dear friends and I realize I judged her unfairly. As a young adult I was a staunch democrat. Now I am a staunch Republican. My views have changed through the years and my maturity as a 20-30 something have changed drastically. I remember my sister and I laughing behind the back of an acquaintance who had a toddler and had put up gates everywhere. My sister let everyone know SHE would never lock her kids out of a room. Yeah, that changed the first time her son started crawling and crawled up the stairs-funny how life experiences change our views. Now, I try very hard not to judge for any reason. I fail constantly but I do try and see that my way, my opinion is not that of others and try not to hold that against them. Sorry for the lecture although they was not my intent
Love Paula. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@bethmcguire7581😂
@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 Well, being carnivore and cooking vegan is pretty trouble-free. The other way round would be way more difficult, morally speaking.
Face it, people suck. You'll find someone who has been corrupted by fame and fortune no matter where you look.
We never saw Giada cook & eat. Really eat. I read that she had a bucket to spit out all the food that she “tasted”. I never understood how she could eat pasta & still look so thin.
I read that about her several times. Google her too. Interesting, and I saw some of it happening. I can't stand her. She now wears low cut tops and dresses and tries to show her mosquito bite cleavage. She looks like an octopus when she waves her skinny arms in the air over her head on Bobby Flay's shows. LOL.
Italian eat pasta and are thin
Food in Europe (sans UK) is healthy, not the case in America
@@johnb7046 they all live in the US. Not Europe. And I don’t think most of those offenses were about health. Ha ha
@@carolferguson Apologies, was replying to @RussiaisAriddle-ih6bg
I watched the Food Channel when they had no commercials and I used to call in for the recipes and they would send it to me in the mail, that's how long ago I used to watch the Food Channel... but I no longer watch it... it's not what it used to be.
It's a contest here who did the worst things. Mario is so arrogant its disgusting 🤢 I'm glad he's where he is now. With the world's largest orange croc collection 😮
It seems that tip skipping is a thing with these famous Chefs
" ... tip skipping ..." ., I believe it is "skimming". Skipping is what you do as you run out the door.
guy fieri is entitled to his own perspective and the terms that come with it
Very entertaining commentary.😊❤
“Disgraceful” is that I actually watched this video. Really it was much about nothing.
Never eating foreign food again. I might get in trouble.......SMFH!
Whenever I travel, my hotel TV is forever on The Food Network channel. Ha ha! It is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Scandals on the "Food" channel??? LMAO!! The cucumbers must have cheated on the tomato's with the avocado's. LOL
Just bobble head Giada cheating on her husband with blacks
Anthony Bourdain was not a celebrity chef. He was a chef who wrote a top selling book. That is how he got famous.
He was also a drunk and a pretty awful person.
@@eri_noemi1462 He was an iconoclast in the TRUE sense of the word and a brilliant wordsmith.
Top selling. Famous. Literally definitions of celebrity.
@@MP77USA Didn't say he wasn't famous. I said he didnt get famous for being a CHEF!
Few celebrity chefs are the greatest cooks; I think we all know that. Celebrity chef is just that. More celebrity, hence that moniker, than top- or award-winning. Out of many celebrity chefs, at least Bourdain knew and celebrated great food.
You missed the cake boss… Didn’t he have a drunken car crash with a very expensive sports car?
yes he did....
He caught his hand in a bowling ball return motor at his house. He had been in rehab trying to regain dexterity of his right hand. He said his cooking career is effectively over. He can barely hold a fork.
@@MadisonBrown-np8ne I saw him recently on the Food Network and he said he's using his hand again. He was baking on the show.
From the first day I read Giada was having an affair with Bobby Flay and then left her husband, I have not and will not ever watch one minute of her doing anything.
These chefs have really cooked their own goose.
Do not forget Michael Chiarello. My very good friend worked at Coqueta when his 1st wife got suspicious and walked in on him at 9am in the Coqueta office flocking another woman. She actually drove the three hours down from Napa that is how suspicious she was. It was quite the San Francisco buzz
He was also investigated for stealing tips and sexual harassment.
Its interesting there are higher standards for chef stars than Hollywood stars...
For those that touched people inappropriately or stole from employees, of course those are criminal and immoral acts. The rest, amounts to people in glass houses throwing stones. Some people live for the day that those that have worked hard and succeeded are humbled. Not anyone but God's place to do. We all need grace and so we'd best be willing to extend it to others.
How on earth do YT channels who do nothing but slander and defame others, get such an eager audience? Obviously all are perfect of course.
Batlai stealing tips what a jerk. Waiters abd waitresses need to at least start getting minumum wage so tips withh actually be tips and not their salary
A lot of commenters here don't realize that wait staff often get less than minimum wage, and have taxes imposed on them based on a presupposition that they are getting X amount of tips whether they are or aren't. Just ignorant.
@@user-ps1ft1hy4j I stoppe waitressing when the government started assuming I made a percentage on a bill. Many customers often would not ip or some would tip a quarter and it is not like they are intentionally being rude ..like one old lady called me over and handed me a quarter saying I was teh best waitress,i,,,,in their minds they were licing in 1930 where a quarter tip was good, With the cost of food these day I never eat out
I worked ata couple of places where the cooks were so disgusting sweat pouring into foods of plates they were platong. One place I worked at would take teh rools that were served and left behind by customers and then reuse them for their french onion soup teh next day ... yeah no thanks ,,I'll prepare my own food with quality ingredients and no one is doing anything bad to my food
@@user-ps1ft1hy4j Incorrect. Many states such as California, Washington, and Pennsylvania, demand that waiters receive minimum wage as a base salary, tips or no tips. NY and NJ as still behind the times, but it's not a universal policy in the US.
@@doubledutchclutch I said "often," not "universally."
I never liked Flay that much...but his "scandal" wasn't! It was funny and sort of brilliant!
I never liked his either. He's low-class. I posted his story.
I do like him and his recipes.
I like Guy and Ree even more now. Thanks for sharing their “baggage”!
Lol….Anthony Bourdain calling Sandra Lee on the carpet because her “Kwanzaa” cake was a disaster and other cooks got their panties in a wad because the cake wasn’t authentic? The “holiday” was created in 1966 by Ron Karenga, who renamed himself Maulana. Karenga, the founder of the United Slaves, a violent rival organization to the Black Panthers, created the holiday for black Americans and derived the name “Kwanzaa”. Karenga himself is a convicted torturer. So, the cake was apropos for the occasion. Priceless.
Cultural appropriation for making punchy jerk rice? Who says you have to be Jamaican to make that food, can only a Mexican make Mexican food? Ridiculous. Get over the offended victimhood and realize it's a compliment to enjoy all types of food, and put your own spin on it.
Amen
Cultural appropriation is idiotic. Do Jamaicans ever eat tacos?
Cultural appropriation is utter bullshit. Creepy people trying to sound important and oppressed over things that make no sense, at all. I see Chinese women with blonde hair all the time. I should I get in their faces and scream about cultural appropriation??????
It is Just a way of putting forth one's bigotry while pretending to be anti racist. Very racist it is..
@@mandtgrant Notice Gina Neely at the end. Was she born with hair like that? No, she's a racist and did cultural appropriation!!!!!!!! Just as stupid as dumping on someone for the kind of food they make (or eat).
Exactly, the whole culture-appropriation thing is just stupid. People using the food from other cultures has been a practice since the beginning of time. Funny how that accusation only sticks when trashing on American white people. I haven't heard calls for Italy to quit cooking pasta, which they got from the Arabs in Libya (Marco Polo didn't bring it back from China, that's a myth). Pasta has been a major part of Italian culture for I don't even know how many centuries.
Are you surprised? This is what rich, over privileged people do, because they are greedy and feel they are untouchable. Imagine the scandals people would find if we held CEO's and Politicians accountable.
The med biz also.
@@lorna865 Yes! They are next level evil. Pretty much all business tycoons are. Whoever runs the medical industry probably believes they actually help people, which is messed up.
Can’t even come up with an original name? Loser.
I can say one thing for her, Burrell did a great job styling her hair like a Cockatoo.
The Neely I think was the worse scandal. Their relationship look fake on screen. Pat was trying way too hard with all that brown sugar talk.
Gina look like she was miserable on scene sometimes. She often made faces and I knew there was something wrong because even their daughter look miserable.
I glad Gina lost a ton of weight and looks amazing and have moved on.
Displaying a fake relationship on screen is certainly worse than verbally and sexually assaulting your employees, or stealing their tips… 🙄
Using the N-word, stealing staff tips, charging personal expenses to your company, charging staff for lunches they never ate, touching staff without consent, being accused of daily cocaine use, homophobia... And acting like you and your husband are in love is the worst crime? LOL--literally one of the few misdeeds you couldn't be sued for.
You have got to be f'n kidding...
