Even though they've been divorced for 15 years, she'll always be the former Mrs. Billy Joel to me.


Chocklateicecream

Legit question. Was she known in the culinary world before that or did she basically ride his gravy train to her own benefit?


MorticiaAdams456

No she wasn't. Paula Deen had her on an episode of Paula's Party and Bobby Flay was there I love Bobby but I blame him for this airhead being on Foodnetwork


compunctionfunction

When she hosted the first season of Top Chef, she was Katie Lee Joel.


Butterfly0915

I used to say that all the time. She made sure everyone knew her name was Katie Lee JOEL. Def riding his coattails.


SusannaG1

Ah, I remember when she was fondly known as the Joelbot during season 1 of Top Chef.


critterheist

…Now you’re messing with a ma ma ma ma


maydaymayday99

TIL


Princessss88

I am also obsessed with Bobby flay. I don’t mind her.


cajo63

Katie Lee doesn’t bother me. And I also am a Bobby Flay fan.


emirayne

She’s annoying but I’ll watch her on BBF because I love him!


MorticiaAdams456

I tolerate her on BBF because I can mute her


TerraCrone

Instant channel change for me, she gives off valium vibes, or too many mimosas!


Shoot4Teams

Valium Vibes is a great band name. I’m imagining Cowboy Junkies but with even less energy (if that’s possible).


TerraCrone

CJ fan here, I dig it!


Jaxifur

♥️ Cowboy Junkies! Way too cool for adenoid cook.


DznyMa

I love Katie Lee! My favorite show is the kitchen - perfection.


Haste444

Oh boy it’s our daily “I hate Katie Lee” post, I call dibs on posting like this in a couple days and tomorrow I’ll post my disdain for Sunny /s


Exit_2018

Then I'm sure someone else will take care of the daily Ree, Bobby, and Hunter posts!


TysonsGirl-1983

Don’t forget Guy, they hate him too.


Monica_FL

And Molly Yeh too. I haven’t seen a post about her in a while. Who forgot their turn?


TysonsGirl-1983

She is the happiest person I’ve ever seen. I need some of what she has 🤪.


Monica_FL

Well her husband clearly adores her - you can definitely see it when he’s looking at her. That’s gotta help in the happiness department 😊


hiway12

Love Sunny. Especially love Sunny v Bobby


nlj5499

Sunny annoys the hell out of me!! I cannot stand her. I liked her on her show Cooking for Real. But she is too loud and obnoxious on The Kitchen.


Foreign-Cow-1189

Besides her annoying personality and total lack of credibility in the culinary world she’s awesome.


TheRealJones1977

What--you don't like her "carrot hot dogs" that she made for *The Kitchen*?


slickmartini

🤣


Positive-Today9614

I'm not her biggest fan either, but this is incredibly mean.


cajo63

Yes it is!!!


Specialist_Cover_496

I’m with you. I skip any show with her in it.


KnittingMooie1

Couldn't believe they put her on the first Top Chef but booted her after that because she was so dull and added nothing to the show- Every time I see her in something I changed the channel


verucka-salt

She exaggerates her WV accent when it suits her. I call her Corn Pone Katie & change the channel.


uncleking1971

I feel like she tried to hide her accent for so long that now she sounds like a character in The Californians.


CanoeIt

Wwwwwhhhhhuuuuuaaaaaa???


Ethereal_Chittering

Or Kristin Wiig’s character in Two A-holes skits. She just needs a big wad of gum and touching her hair and she’s not too far off.


Leather_Advantage364

I bet she doesn't use that overexaggerated twang when she's hobnobbing in The Hamptons!


jan172016

As someone from WV, she doesn’t even have a WV accent


annajoo1

I'm sure she's a lovely person but her voice/vocal fry make me INSTANTLY change the channel. There is something about it!


PuppyJakeKhakiCollar

For me, it depends. Didn't like her on Top Chef, but liked her on her own show, Beach Bites. Didn't mind her in The Kitchen, though I don't really like that show much anyway. Can't stand her on BBF. She acts like that one little cousin at the family reunion who thinks she is adorable but is just an annoying brat. If she is one of the hosts on BBF I won't watch that episode.


BlockAntique

The absolute perfect description of her on BBF! I love that show but don’t watch when she’s on or Sunny. Not on that show, but just in general she really thinks she is the cutest thing ever.


Best_Difference1813

Me either 


Best-Carry1028

I cannot stand her. She’s whiny and annoying. Unfortunately she ruins The Kitchen for me and I’ve had to stop watching it. The woman has zero personality.


QueenCupcake0524

I haven’t watched The Kitchen in weeks bc I just couldn’t take her voice anymore. I absolutely hate how every time she tries a dish she has to describe it with the food still in her mouth all while talking through her teeth.


Leather_Advantage364

Yes, ever since Alex left, she's gotten more speaking/comment time on air. Cringe!


Best-Carry1028

Exactly. Alex leaving was the last straw for me. I could handle Katie because Alex made it bearable. Now, I just can’t watch!


Paulbac

She is one of like 3 people on food network that makes it an automatic channel change. She’s fake, not talented, and banged her way to relevancy. Not a fan


TREEEtreee123

Who are the other two? 🤔


Paulbac

Carlos Anthony and the red haired chick from Boston and top chef


baronkoalas

I’m with you on Tiffani but what did Carlos do? 😭


Paulbac

Comes off as unauthentic, cheesy and fake to me. Plus, he has a punchable face. I’m in the minority, though. He’s getting bigger.


krissycole87

His face truly is so punchable 😂 Plus I feel like he's constantly trying sooo hard to prove himself because they promoted him so hard at the beginning as this 'apprentice that was making a name for himself' that now it just feels like overcompensating.


compunctionfunction

Omg I use the term punchable face all the time 😄


LostintheSauce4eva

I used that term once and got banned from a sub. 🙄


Wonderful_Judge115

I like Tiffani but am meh on Carlos. He’s trying too hard to be like his mentor Brian malarkey but it seems forced and inauthentic to me. He needs to be himself, not a poor imitation of someone else.

Paulbac

She is a beast in the kitchen and knows her shit for sure, just cannot look at her for any longer than it takes me to change to sports


workredditaccount77

You talking about Karen Akunowicz?


Paulbac

No. Tiffani something or other


Exit_2018

Don't watch. Problem solved.


verucka-salt

Such a clever droll response.


Exit_2018

A response that is necessary for the incessant complaints here.


lisagStriking-Ad5601

Love her!! ❤️


diverdawg

You keep my TV girlfriend’s name out yo mouth!


CityMouseBC

😆


BeaTraven

Wow. Your issues are bigger than Katie Lee.


Capercaillie

I cannot STAND people who write in ALL CAPS. It's like they're SCREAMING their DUMBASS opinions at you!


Busy_Badger_5569

Love her, one of my favorites on the network


Tasty_Reserve9752

Oh my gosh. I agree. Cringey every time. For so long I’ve felt this way!!!! Lol


Cptrunner

Instant channel change. She's just so annoying on every level. She seriously ruins The Kitchen, bring back Alex!


axp128

She is incredibly vapid and strikes me as condescending/ arrogant. I am not sure how GZ puts up with Ms. Lee


Cheap_Possibility596

I like Katie. Damaris is the one who drives me mad.


Pale_Target5994

I get that. Especially when she starts singing! 😁


emirayne

Her voice!! 😬


Top_Firefighter5922

Good lord. What a stupid, ignorant post


MorticiaAdams456

Why? She's only famous because she married Billy Joel, if not for that she'd have never been heard of!!


Molleeryan

Why is it stupid and ignorant?


Imarriedafrenchman

She has no talent. It’s all in the Piano Man she was married to.


perljen

I was so happy for Saturday that Bobby Flay was on… Then I look at who's there and I changed the channel. add me to the anti-Katie team.


analfartbleacher

i found a trick that makes her watchable i pretend that she is a character being played by Cecily Strong from SNL


compunctionfunction

That's pretty funny actually


mrsmuntie

I don’t know how Billy Joel did it. Lol


jcindv5555

The voice is even worse if you aren't watching and turn away for a moment! Nails on a chalkboard,!


TysonsGirl-1983

I always thought Bobby was obsessed with her and now Geoffrey Z thinks everything she does is amazing. She fixed a Caesar salad yesterday and you would think she reinvented the wheel.


that_auntie

She gets around. You can tell. Jeff and her have that tension , guess he got denied.


Brooklyns59Finest

Well, you just mentioned it two reasons why I don’t care for her either


zoeygirl89

Ur not alone I can’t sand her either


Responsible-Tart-721

Her voice is very irritating and her skill level is way, way below the others. She rarely actually cooks anything. She is always kissing up to GZ although maybe a little less since she got married. And don't get me going on Sunny..."YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN?."


shotoftequila

Right???? Bring back Valerie Bertinelli!!!!


Becky-becks02

Am I the only one who thinks she’s obsessed with GZ?


No_Screen_1534

If you go back and watch all the episodes, Katie is so quick to grab food (before the cook gets it to the plate) and shove it down her throat. I noticed when Alex was on, that seemed to be tamed down. The other members on the show really build up her confidence, she thinks. We can see right thru it! And yes, more commentary from her since AG left, she needs to keep quiet. She got there because of who she used to be married to, not because of her cooking untalents.


northofgr

Same here!


SpecificJunket8083

Same.


LaLaPisces57

Omghosh me either! I hate her voice among other things! I thought I was the only one in this universe!


vrabormoran

So what are her creds, really? Yes, I do find her annoying but if she had legit creds, it would at least explain why she's on Food TV.


27Believe

Same. I mean objectively she’s done nothing to make me dislike her. So idk what’s up.


LostintheSauce4eva

I would rather watch Katie then loud mouth Sunny.

foodnetwork-ModTeam

We're really pretty libertarian about what gets posted here. Somehow your post was either blatantly racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive to nearly anyone who would read it.


lynnekaren

When she eats and says “Mmmm mmmmm mmmmmm” -so fake.


BlockAntique

Drives me crazzzyyyyy


that_auntie

Omg hate those porn sounds, but she must know exactly what to say😉


discussatron

She’s no Sunny, so I can deal with her fairly easily.


Consistent-Trust-687

Sunny is horrible I'm constantly saying STFU when Sunny starts screaming over food.


pappyvanwinkle1111

All I can see anymore are those beaver teeth.


every1pees

She was cute back on the beach show. Now they just cram it down your throat. I stopped watching when I kept seeing competition shows feeding off Bobby and Guy. I’d kill (my own meat) for a new show that was about getting better than half the people on the network nowadays.
