“Worst Cooks in America” honored Anne Burrell after her tragic death. The Food Network series paid tribute to the late chef during Monday night’s Season 29 premiere, which filmed before Burrell died at age 55 last month. At the end of the episode, a photo of Burrell appeared on the screen alongside the words, “In Memoriam, Anne Burrell, 1969-2025.”

Anne Burrell 's final appearance on Worst Cooks in America premieres this week, just days after her cause of death was officially confirmed. Worst Cooks in America: Talented and Terrible brings back the beloved celebrity chef one last time as a mentor on the Food Network competition show she helped launch in 2010.
