Farewell to The Kitchen (At Least Until They Fire Sunny)
11 December 2022
Reading other reviews it seems I'm not alone. Sunny is insufferable. I don't remember her being so obnoxious years ago, but she gets worse and worse with each episode. There's not a moment of breathing room with her constant yapping. When she's not interrupting, she's hooting and hollering and mugging for the camera. I can't hear anyone but her. Why? The show doesn't need this. Can someone at Food Network put a muzzle on her? When she's calm and explaining something she's fine. It's all the other nonsense that has to go.

And please, can she stop calling for things? "I call the end piece!". "I call the spatula!". What is she, 6 years old? It's embarrassing.

Also embarrassing is the way she eats her food. She looks at the camera, unhinges her jaw, and shoves in so much food I hope they're all trained on the Heimlich Maneuver. She never breaks eye contact with the camera, making sure her antics are recorded. Does she think it's funny or cute or "real" to see her cram a whole deviled egg into her mouth? It's uncouth and vulgar. So hard to watch.

I get that she's trying to be a "regular" person. But can't she do it without being so obnoxious?

I hit my Sunny limit today and so I'm writing my sad farewell. I recorded every episode since almost the beginning...but alas, no more.

This makes me sad b/c I love watching the others. GZ especially. He's the most genuine person on the show. I laugh when people call him a snob just because he dresses nicely and makes fancy food and cocktails and/or doesn't know about certain "common" foods. I was laughed at because I had never heard of Funfetti cake and I've never eaten a cup or ramen noodles in my life. That doesn't make me a snob, it just means I don't shop for boxed cake mixes or buy prepared foods. Same with GZ. He's been immersed in the elite culinary/restaurant world. Why would he know about things like Lunchables? That doesn't make him a snob. In fact one of the things I love about him is his genuine appreciation for learning new things; even if those things are common in most households.
