The celebrity chef community continues to mourn the shocking loss of one of their own.
The news of chef Anne Burrell’s death has shocked Food Network fans and chefs alike. Many friends and colleagues have taken to social media to pay their respects, now including her former co-star Bobby Flay .
Bobby was one of the many chefs who joined Anne as a co-host at one point during Worst Cooks in America . While Anne was on the show for nearly its entire run starting in 2010 (minus the most recent season that premiered earlier this year), Bobby starred as her competitor for four seasons, and it’s a time he’ll never forget.

He shared on his Instagram Story on Wednesday:
“Worst Cooks in America was the funniest show on TV. All of its co-hosts (including me) were right up there with Anne Burrell’s sidewalk.”
But there’s something else about his friend that he’ll remember and cherish even more, Bata Bobby Flay star explained:
“The greatest gift I received from AB was turning me on to a world of Maine Coon cats (including Nacho)… a gift I will have forever #UnforgetTable”
Aw! He posted the tribute along with a photo of Anne with two adorable cats. Nacho was one of Bobby’s beloved cats who sadly passed away in 2023. He also has two other cats named Stella and Canelo. How sweet Anne passed her love of the feline breed on to him and what a special way he can always remember her!
Anne’s story just keeps getting sadder. We’ve learned that the 55-year-old was found unresponsive by her husband, Stuart Claxton , on Tuesday morning, lying on the floor in the shower of their Brooklyn home. She was last seen by Stuart around 1 a.m. after performing at an improv show the night before. The New York City Fire Department told Page Six that they received a call about a cardiac arrest, but an official cause of death has not been confirmed at this time.
She was so young with so much still to do. Such a difficult loss for all her friends and family. TEAR
