"Food Network is home to some of the most beloved cooking shows, from instructional programs to cutthroat cooking competitions. Since it started in 1993, it has launched the careers of celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay, Guy Fieri, Alton Brown, Ina Garten, and Rachel Ray. The network has also seen its fair share of controversy, witnessing dramatic exits and shocking scandals that quickly became front-page news."
"One of the most controversial Food Network chef departures of all time was the exit of pastry chef Anne Thornton. Before Thornton rose to fame on Food Network, she worked in culinary production. She also worked as a personal chef, a pastry chef at New York's The Waverly Inn, and an executive pastry chef at New York's Hotel Griffou. Thornton caught the eye of Food Network producers when she debuted her salted caramel banana pudding pie"
Food Network launched many celebrity chef careers and also experienced controversies and dramatic exits. Pastry chef Anne Thornton worked in culinary production, served as a personal chef, and held pastry positions at The Waverly Inn and Hotel Griffou. Thornton gained attention after presenting a salted caramel banana pudding pie at the 2009 Food Network NYC Wine & Food Festival and then hosted Dessert First with Anne Thornton beginning in October 2010. The show ran for two seasons before being canceled amid accusations that multiple dessert recipes closely resembled published recipes by other chefs. Specific contested items included a coconut-pecan frosting and a German chocolate cupcake recipe.
