Celebrity chefs are everywhere. They host reality TV shows, judge cooking competitions, publish cookbooks, and open their own restaurants. Along the way, many of them ruffle a few feathers. Many celebrity chefs are genuinely talented. But some have polarizing personalities. Some have boring shows and lackluster recipes. And others are, plain and simple, badly overrated. Read on to check out the celebrity chefs everybody — sometimes including their fellow chefs — loves to hate.

I was going to say I bet she likes sushi, but I thought better of it.

Bobby Flay tops my list.

I have never been able to stand Bobby Flay.

I first watched him years ago on a show called "Grillin' and Chillin'." It was a "gas" versus "charcoal" barbecue show. The co-host was a southern gentleman (charcoal) who always wore denim overalls. Bobby was all gas.

It came across that he felt he was above cooking with a "hick". He acted very contemptuously toward the very polite and happy cook whose charcoal cooking looked delicious.

Iron Chef went downhill when they decided to put the fix in for whom they wanted to be the Next Iron Chef.

Well, that, and the fixed Muchelle Obama White House thing.

Alex Guarnaschelli? Really? She may know stuff, but she's not that all creative, or captivating in her cooking. I'd take the lesbian Elizabeth Falkner over her.

Flay seems to have only one facial expression, that being a blank one.

That's his disdain and contempt for other people.

Flay won the contest and stood on his cutting board and everyone gasped at his arrogance

I remember that. Masaharu Morimoto was absolutes disgusted by Flay. Said no real chef would do that.

“The Galloping Gourmet” Graham Kerr

I loved his show - used to watch it after school way back when. He'd drink wine throughout the show and be a tad so shed by the end.

Enjoy Free Drummond when at first I did not care for her. She puts me in a calm mood & most of her food looks delicious. Guy,I’ve him or hate him he is the biggest ambassador for small local restaurants. Triple D is a great show. I liked Ina until someone brought up her makes wish blow off. Jeffrey, her husband, is seriously annoying & pompous.

Then there was Fanny and Johnnie Cradock, who were a British couple.

The only reason I know of them was this hilarious spoof of them by Benny Hill.

Anyone remember Justin Wilson - the cajun chef? Cay-Anne pepper!! Loved his show. And The Frugal Gourmet - Jeff Smith - until we found out the truth about him. Still have one of his cookbooks.

I only watch one episode of a Gordon Ramsey show - the one about Amy’s Baking Company in AZ. What a horrible restaurant. Turns out the owners were felons.

Do you actually know how many times Flay actually says “actually”? He’s unwatchable.

Bobby Flay also. Since he had his Grillin’ and Chillin’ show we never liked him. Gave him the name Burn it All Bobby.

Cora married her longtime partner Jennifer in June 2013,[17] and the couple have four sons together via in vitro fertilization.[18][19] All four embryos were fertilized by the same sperm donor, and each woman was impregnated with two of the other’s fertilized ova.[20] In November 2015, it was announced they were divorcing after 17 years together and 2 years of marriage.[17][21]

In 2017, Cora began dating producer Nicole Ehrlich.[22]

Sounds emotionally disturbed and 4 kids along for the ride.

Mario Batali, biggest ahole walking the planet. He wouldn't serve Republicans during the NYC convention.
