Viewers of The Food Network have become familiar with chef Anne Burrell through her appearances on a wide array of the channel's most popular shows including Iron Chef America, Best Thing I Ever Ate and Chopped.
The spiky, platinum blond-haired host of Secrets of a Restaurant Chef and Worst Cooks in America confirmed publicly on Friday (25 May) that she is a lesbian. This comes after a fellow Food Network personality, Ted Allen, mentioned Burrell having a girlfriend during a radio interview.
