The Food Network received criticism for a social media post featuring the late chef Anne Burrell, who died by suicide. The post aimed to promote the latest episode of Worst Cooks in America, which Burrell hosted. Viewers expressed their disappointment, claiming that the caption was insensitive and failed to honor Burrell's memory. Fans highlighted the importance of acknowledging her loss in the captions and called for a proper tribute to celebrate her contributions to the culinary world. Burrell rose to fame on the network and was known for her energetic personality and mentorship of amateur cooks.
On Monday, the Food Network posted teaser photos with Burrell on Instagram to promote the latest episode of Worst Cooks in America. Fans argued, however, that the caption was "tone-deaf" for not mentioning the spunky television personality.
The celebrity chef's cause of death was "suicide," according to the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Burrell was found dead at her home in Brooklyn.
Instagram user @juliecordora wrote in a note: "If you are going to run the show, every caption should have a respectful note about the loss of Anne."
