Sunny Anderson is a popular host on Food Network and one of the co-hosts of 'The Kitchen.' Viewers have been watching to see her inside the set and the chef finally shared a photo from 'inside,' but it's not what you may think.

Sunny Anderson is one of the beloved stars on the Food Network. The popular chef is one of the co-hosts of The Kitchen, which also includes Katie Lee, Jeff Mauro, Geoffrey Zakarian, and Alex Guarnaschelli. Like many other shows on television, the cooking talk show has had to make adjustments during the pandemic. Anderson has mostly been cooking outside and some fans have questioned why she is never inside. The television star is now giving her followers what they want with a photo from “inside” the kitchen.

Sunny Anderson’s photo from ‘inside’

Anderson has been appearing on The Kitchen from outside the studio. The television personality has been grilling and showcasing her skills to inspire viewers at home to replicate her recipes. However, some fans have been asking Anderson to return inside and she kind of gave in to her followers’ requests. Anderson shared a photo where she is seen inside the show’s set smiling in the middle of her co-hosts Lee and Guarnaschelli.

“I’m inside! You wanted me inside so bad, I made it happen! Thanks for leaving space for me, @katieleebiegel and @guarnaschelli,” Anderson posted on Instagram.

Upon closet inspection of the picture, Anderson’s lighting was seemingly different from her co-hosts. The proportions were not right and something seemed off. Anderson anticipated that many people would not believe the photo was real and jokingly said “haters will say this [picture] is photoshopped.”

“Haters will say this is photoshopped, they’ll also tell me to do what I don’t want to cuz they think I’m a puppet. Whoa, that got serious, fast. Enjoy,” she added.

On that particular episode, Anderson was making ratatouille and urged her fans to visit her Instagram Stories for more recipes.

Why Sunny Anderson doesn’t film in her actual kitchen

Anderson has been a topic of discussion on a Reddit thread about why she doesn’t show her real-life kitchen and one of the users said it was probably due to privacy concerns.

“She has talked about it on Instagram and has noted privacy being the main reason she doesn’t,” the user posted. “People have asked to see her pantry, too, and she cited privacy there as well. I understand her point of view.”

The Kitchen airs Saturday mornings at 11 a.m. ET on Food Network.
