“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,” Burrell’s family said in a statement. “Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”
After attending culinary school and working in New York City restaurants, Burrell made her TV debut on “Secrets of a Restaurant Chef.” She and her iconic spiky hair quickly became fan-favorites, and she went on to appear in multiple shows on the network. That includes participating as a competitor on “Iron Chef America,” a judge on “Chef Wanted,” the host of “Worst Cooks in America,” and as a guest star on “Beat Bobby Flay.” You may also recognize her from “Chopped,” “Food Network Star,” and “House of Knives.”
“Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent – teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,” a spokesperson for Food Network said in a statement to Nexstar. “Our thoughts are with Anne’s family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.”
