Alex suggested she had left the show with a cryptic message to a follower.
The chef has been absent from a few episodes with no explanation.
Recently, the Food Network removed her as a co-host from the website.
Although not officially explaining, they also removed Alex from the promotional photo for episode 11 on series 33.
Now, only co-host Jeff Mauro was featured in the image.
“The cooks teach their top salad recipes. Jeff Mauro makes his blistered tomato and farro shrimp salad, Alex Guarnaschelli gets scientific with a chicken Caesar salad,” the photo was captioned on their website.
Looking elsewhere, Alex’s name is no longer included on the site.
The series premiered on Food Network in 2014 with hosts Sunny Anderson, Jeff Mauro, Katie Lee, Geoffrey Zakarian, and Marcela Valladolid.
Marcela left in 2017, and Alex joined a few years later in 2020.
However, Alex has been left out of promotional images recently.
The star asked her fans for questions via her Instagram Story.
Plenty of fans submitted comments about missing Alex.
“Sorry you aren’t on The Kitchen anymore, you brought a lot of knowledge to the show,” one fan wrote in.
“That means a lot to me. “More than you know, thank you,” replied Alex.
FAN LOVE
Fans posted a screengrab of this comment on Reddit and expressed their concern that she might not return.
“I wish FN let hosts say when they are leaving the show,” one upset fan wrote.
“Especially with things like The Kitchen.”
“It leaves the audience a little confused and is also just kind of a bummer,” they added.
“She was the best part of that show. What a shame!,” a second Food Network viewer said.
“If this is true, I will miss her on the show….I think Alex brought a unique perspective,” another fan commented.
