Biegel re-shared Food Network\u2019s post on her Instagram story and added, \u201cIt\u2019s the end of an era. Thank you so much to all our fans. The Kitchen was the greatest professional honor of my life and I will be forever grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mauro reflected on the show\u2019s cancellation in a lengthy message on Facebook<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cI always knew what we had was special \u2014 rare, a unicorn, an anomaly. Shows don\u2019t last this long\u2026 and ours did. I\u2019ve prayed and given thanks every night for that fact,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI got to spend a dozen years with my best friends \u2014 cooking, laughing, and eating life-changing bites from some of the world\u2019s greatest chefs and cooks. I got to play Twister with Daniel Radcliffe, sing and strum with Trisha Yearwood, and spit bars with Vanilla Ice and Rev Run.\u201d<\/p>\n He also mentioned how \u201cThe Kitchen\u201d even managed to air episodes during the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to the show\u2019s dedicated team. <\/p>\n Mauro then thanked his fellow co-hosts, fans, network and crew members. \u201cGeoffrey, Sunny, Katie, and Alex \u2014 I love you all and will cherish every moment we created together,\u201d he wrote. \u201cTo our fans \u2014 I love you and thank you for the years of watching, supporting, and growing with us. To the @foodnetwork family, thank you very much for the opportunity to live out my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n He said at the end of his statement that although he is sad the show is ending, he is optimistic about future opportunities.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Kitchen\u201d debuted in 2014 with culinary experts Anderson, Biegel, Mauro, Zakarian and chef Marcela Valladolid, who previously appeared as a co-host before exiting the show in 2017. Guarnaschelli later joined the group to break down recipes, share meal tips and chat about the latest food trends.<\/p>\n The co-hosts have passed down more than 2,000 recipes throughout the show\u2019s run, according to a press release<\/a>. Episodes featured special appearances from many celebrities and chefs over the years, like Regina King, Willie Geist, Kathie Lee Gifford, Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay and Carla Hall.<\/p>\n Flay commented on the cancellation below the Instagram announcement. <\/p>\n \u201cThank you to the Kitchen and its fabulous chefs and hosts for holding it down in daytime on @foodnetwork for the last decade. Well done everyone.. an iconic run,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n The final episode of \u201cThe Kitchen\u201d will air on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 11 a.m. ET\/PT. <\/p>\n![\"Jeff](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/the-kitchen-co-hosts-eb-251020-01b11c.jpg\")
