Food Network

Culinary television station

Food Network is an American cable television channel devoted to food programming—cooking shows, competitions, restaurant reviews, and culinary travel.

The channel launched personalities like Emeril Lagasse and Guy Fieri into celebrity chefs.

We binged Food Network all weekend.

The name sometimes refers loosely to food-focused content on any platform.
