'Food Network Obsessed' podcast picked up for extended second run

Host Jaymee Sire returns to dish on all things Food Network

Food Network has picked up “Food Network Obsessed,” the official podcast of Food Network, for an extended second run with host Jaymee Sire returning.

The podcast, which launched in early January and is just midway through its first season, features food blogger, journalist, TV host and Food Network superfan Sire, sitting down each week for a candid and revealing chat with favorite Food Network stars and chefs, dishing on everything from behind-the-scenes secrets of their shows, to how they got their start in food, to sharing some of their secrets for kitchen success, and more.

“Hosting ‘Food Network Obsessed’ is a dream come true for this superfan, and we are just getting started!” Sire said. “It has been such a blast to sit and chat about anything and everything with our season one guests, and I am so excited to continue the conversations with even more of Food Network’s incredible stars.”

The first season of “Food Network Obsessed” has to-date scored a nearly perfect star rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars and, in the first few weeks, landed the No. 3 spot in the food category on Apple Podcasts. Guests have included Kalen Allen, Valerie Bertinelli, Kardea Brown, Josh Capon and Jeff Mauro, with forthcoming interviews to feature Ted Allen, Anne Burrell, Alex Guarnaschelli and Ali Khan.

New episodes of the “Food Network Obsessed” podcast launch every Friday and are available on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher and Google Podcasts.
