Whether it’s Alton Brown and his playful dogs or Giada De Laurentiis and her photogenic kitten, our stars are more than food lovers — they’re animal lovers too! Get to know the four-legged friends of your favorite Food Network stars.
Alton Brown
On screen, he’s cut throat, but in real life, Alton Brown is a total softie. The host of Cutthroat Kitchen has two dogs: Sparky, an Australian shepherd and Daisy, a Welsh corgi.
Giada De Laurentiis
Bella De Laurentiis is just as beautiful as her owner, Giada. We can only imagine the delicious gourmet food Giada makes for this kitty she adopted last Christmas.
John Catucci
You gotta wish Lloyd a happy birthday! The host of You Gotta Eat Here! owns a dog who just turned the tender age of 3.
Ted Allen
It appears Ted’s cats are just as scholastic as he is! Here are Flo and Milo helping their owner, host of Chopped, at a book signing.
Gordon Ramsay
No matter where he goes, Chef Gordon’s dogs Rumpole and Bruno are always close by. The bulldog and cocker spaniel have had their time in the spotlight, even appearing on one of Ramsay’s shows, Hotel Hell.
Ree Drummond
Living on a ranch, chef and host of The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, has a lot of animals from horses to cows. But no one captures her heart quite like her basset hound, Charlie. Ree has even published a series of children’s books all about her beloved pooch.
Noah Cappe
The host of Carnival Eats spends a lot of time on the road, but he’s always delighted to come home to his two cats, Mr. Gary Wu and Dr. Peter Venkman.
Valerie Bertinelli
When watching her show Valerie’s Home Cooking, you wouldn’t guess the chef has so many pets! She owns four cats, pictured here, plus a dog named Luna.
