About Food Network

Who We Are

Inspiring fans for more than 30 years, Food Network launched as a cable network from New York in 1993, and quickly became a favorite distributed to millions of households across the United States. Food Network has come to define food programming across the world, launching the careers of food celebrities like Alton Brown, Ina Garten, Rachael Ray, and Bobby Flay, whose show “Beat Bobby Flay” has run for more than 35 seasons. Starting in 2005, the annual “Food Network Star” launched the career of Guy Fieri, who remains a fan-favorite on the network today with the hit “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

But we’re not just a groundbreaking TV network. Fans and food lovers also find us online at FoodNetwork.com, across social media, at the newsstand with Food Network Magazine, in stores with branded products, and now, as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery family, we’re streaming on Max and discovery+.

While our kitchen has expanded over the years, Food Network remains true to what got us started in this business: making cooking approachable and fun.
