The popular Food Network show, The Kitchen, has officially closed its doors after a successful 12-year broadcast. The final episode aired on December 14, 2025, with hosts expressing heartfelt goodbyes to viewers and colleagues. Jeff Mauro, Katie Lee, Sunny Anderson, and Alex Guarnaschelli took to social media to reflect on their time on the show, reminiscing about the "record-breaking amount of quality informative, delicious, and hilarious television" they created together.
Anderson highlighted the rarity of a show reaching "forty seasons" (referring to the numerous season counts), while Lee expressed deep appreciation for the "12 great years and more than 500 episodes." The show, which began in 2014, saw its cast evolve over time, with Guarnaschelli joining after Marcela Valladolid's departure. The hosts conveyed their gratitude to Food Network for the opportunity and their dedicated crew.
The news of The Kitchen's cancellation, which emerged in October 2025, was attributed to Food Network's strategic programming evaluations ahead of the new year. Betsy Ayala, head of food content at Warner Bros. Discovery, acknowledged the distinct culinary styles and humor of the hosts, stating that while all good parties must end, they celebrate the "twelve years of memories" and the team's hard work.
