14. Anthony Bourdain
The late, great Anthony Bourdain liked to shoot from the hip, and he was never shy of issuing his opinion on some of the biggest stars on the Food Network. A couple of famous names that got caught in the crosshairs include Guy Fieri, Rachael Ray, and even Sandra Lee.
You could even argue that when he was offering compliments, they were sometimes served with small digs on the side. In a magazine interview, he revealed he was a fan of Ina Garten, but before getting too cozy, he added that it was because she was one of the few people on the channel who actually knew how to cook.

13. Giada De Laurentii
TV chefs are not immune to personal drama, and when two of them leave their respective partners at the same time, the tabloids usually smell smoke. Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay were rumored to have been “the other person” in each other’s lives following their splits, although Giada was also linked to John Mayer and Matt Lauer at the time.
In an interview with Andy Cohen, Giada decided to clear the air about all the rumors that were swirling around regarding her and Bobby. She confessed that while they’re very good friends, having worked together for a long time, she did think a relationship would ever happen because she is “smarter than that”.
