I saw her on todays show with her new baby daughter and looked at her bio. I never knew she was married to Bill Joel in the early 2000's

Too me there is something about her --- a bit of an arrogance Ive seen on this show and other Food Network Shows she's appeared on....And her culinary background isnt that great or extensive either....An odd choice for this show...She kinda ruins the show for me....I do like all the rest of the cast ....JMHO

I've always liked her and I knew years ago she had been married to Billy Joel.

I really enjoyed her when she was on Top Chef, eons ago. Alex is the one on The Kitchen that I just can't stand.

I love Alex and every food show she is on. She can really explain the level of flavors. I guess I admire that because, honestly, I could care less about food and eating. I love watching the cook shows and I hate to cook.....go figure.

As far as Katie Lee, I think she is beautiful. She reminds me of Ali McGraw. She adds something different to a food show, perhaps not cooking knowledge LOL. And yes, I knew she was married to Billy Joel. He seems to attract beautiful women.........it has to be the voice.

I love Alex but I can't watch that show they do where people buy others groceries and make things.

I can take Katie Lee in small doses. If she had a show where she was the main host I know I wouldn't be able to watch it.

In an ensemble such as they have on The Kitchen I don't mind her and at times I find her funny. I like when she talks about her childhood in West Virginia.

@tends2dogs Uh certainly! LOL!!! And here I thought it was his huge billfold. . . who knew!

I have never liked her and I can't really say why. Actually I don't care for anyone on the show. So I don't watch. I sort of like Sunny but wish she would tone it down. But of all of them she is my best liked.

Watched the show earlier. Cute baby. At the end I recognized the lady who was making cider but couldn't place where from. Then they said her name Mary De Angelis from Qvc.

I looked up her bio. WOW. I had NO idea. . .

The Kitchen is the only show I like on the Food Network and I keep forgetting to watch it...

Years ago, Martha Stewart had her ad a guest on her daily show - the one before she went to jail. At that time Katie had a new cookbook out an thy cooked a couple of recipes from it. At that time she was married to Billy Joel. She was twenty-six then. She has since had more cookbooks published. Soooo she does have cooking credentials.

We each have our own likes and dislikes of different TV and HGTV personalities (for example, on this Forum there have been a lot of comments about Sunny on the show The Kitchen)...I thought this was an interesting article....

This is from a Blog called ShowBiz Cheat Sheet 8/9/20 by Jilly Capello.....

Recently, a thread popped up on "Reddit" discussing Lee and her bizarre choice of food. People seemed to agree that Lee didn’t belong on the long-running show. They called out her strange use of carrots to make vegetarian hot dogs and putting watermelon on a meatless cheeseburger. Grinding up peanut butter Girl Scout cookies to use as a breading for chicken had viewers wondering what producers are thinking.

One viewer of the show commented, “I feel like Katie Lee is out of place on Food Network. Her cooking ‘skills’ are questionable at best, and she’s devoid of any personality to be in front of the camera.”

Fans on the Reddit forum agreed that Lee was “devoid of any personality or emotion.” They complained that “her monotonous voice puts me to sleep.”

Viewers questioned her latest obsession with preparing vegetarian dishes, blaming it on her pregnancy. A viewer said, “I’m ok with putting out veggie options, but let’s not make them gross.”

Someone else commented, “She is the reason I don’t watch the Kitchen. I can’t really explain why, but I can’t stand her. She just seems so staged I think. Like all she wants is to get a little fame in any way that she can.”

The New York Times said, “She doesn’t come armed with any fancy degree or professional kitchen experience, but that may not matter in the end. More relevant is whether she’s adept at chatting amiably as she sautés.”

I saw the episode where she made the carrot hot dog. She literally substituted a whole carrot for the hot dog and put it in a bun with some toppings. I must admit, I found that odd and even I, a lover of all things veggie, wouldn't do that.

I don't know if she is really a chef or just a good cook. I like her on the Kitchen, but that is about that. She's obviously in demand over the others in the Kitchen. She's had her own show on Food Network. She's thin and attractive, making her food show an extra plus.

I think I could like this show ( The Kitchen) if everyone just stopped yelling. They all sound like they are in a big warehouse trying to talk as loud as they can.

I find her voice truly annoying.

She only lasted one season on Top Chef as the host.
