We watch a ton of Food Network shows and this one just came as a shock.

RIP to a great chef and TV personality.

I usually watch the food network everday. Never watched her show
She was a host on "Worst Cooks in America" and it was not a great show. Started out as a cool idea, bringing in people who were horrible at cooking but wanted to improve their skills, but eventually it just became a bunch of PR-driven clowns who just wanted camera time so they'd act outrageous.

She was a regular on "Beat Bobby Flay", "BBQ Brawl", I think she did some judging on "Chopped." She also used to be on "American Iron Chef" as a sous chef for Mario Batali.

Very fun, colorful personality. Sad stuff.

She was from the second to third “next food network star” wasn’t she?

I’m not trying to speculate and obviously she was more than just a line chef, but “using” is all too common in kitchens across America.

Regardless the cause, far too young.

Condolences to her family and loved ones.

She was replaced on "Worst Cooks" this past season. She expressed how she felt about that on her social media. She wasn't happy about it, needless to say. I didn't always like her coaching style on that show, but she was clearly a great chef, and definitely one of a kind.
