The 30 Worst Cooking Shows of All-Time

January 19, 2011 by Chris Durso

The Cooking Den has compiled what they consider The 30 Worst Cooking Shows of All-Time. From the surprisingly watchable and guilty pleasures, to the downright awful — the list covers all bases. There are even a few ‘shows’ that most people have probably never heard of. Some of which appear so bad, that we’re having a hard time believing they actually exist.

We imagine that the most challenging part of compiling this list was limiting it to only thirty. They’ve apparently not yet heard of the Cooking Channel, and Rachael Ray alone has had at least 30 different shows that warrant a spot.

See The Cooking Den’s full coverage here. So who did they miss, and/or what shows do not belong?

    Semi-homemade may be an awful show, but you have to admit, you’d bang Sandra Lee, if given the chance…

    LOL! Since I don’t live in the US and only visit once a year, I don’t know all of these shows but Semi-Homemade (though I rarely see the homemade part of it) is definitely the #1 worse “cooking” show. Also agree with Guy’s Big Bite and both Paula and Giada are annoying as all get out. Grillin’ and Chillin’? Never saw it but a cooking show title with not one but two -in’s? Yipes!
