Why is Sunny Always Outside on the Kitchen : She’s Filming ‘The Kitchen’ Outside by Choice
Despite the fact that the weather isn’t exactly “sunny” these days, the Food Network star continues to film her cooking segments on an outdoor grill. And it looks like she’ll keep doing so as the days grow shorter and the temperature drops.
It’s clear that some The Kitchen Reddit viewers were growing impatient with Anderson’s decision to stay outside even in the freezing winter. One commenter remarked, “Cooking everything on the grill is impractical in the north.”
An additional commenter became much more personal and less kind, saying they fast-forward every time Anderson Cooper appears on the programme. “On a show called THE KITCHEN, he’s just unwatchable, unlistenable, and doesn’t want to use a KITCHEN,” they bemoaned
After the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced quarantines and stay-at-home orders in April 2020, Sunny and her co-hosts began filming episodes of The Kitchen in their own homes.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram, “We taped this weekend’s #TheKitchen from home.” “Remember where you’re going: home. Due to the fact that we’re all cooking more and staying put, we thought it would be a good idea to share some easy recipes and, hopefully, some much-needed smiles. … I’m out in the backyard, grilling some food. It’s nice to get away for a while.”
Sunny endured sweltering conditions to film an episode of the cooking-themed talk show in September 2020. She told her Instagram followers, “Today on #TheKitchen @foodnetwork, I once again turn my scorching hot backyard into a TV set. There’s no way I could do that in my kitchen, believe me.”
Anderson stated on Instagram in November that the cold didn’t bother her. The “layer season,” she wrote, “is one of my favourite times of year for me.” Even after the cold weather set in, Anderson still felt the need to reassure her followers that she was fine while cooking outside. On January 9, Anderson shared a photo of an outdoor heater she found in the corner, hidden behind a potted plant. She captioned the photo on Instagram with the words, “I was toasty when we shot this.”
