Here’s the deal: Ryan Seacrest might already be the king of TV, but now he’s setting his sights on a completely different throne—the food world. Yes, you heard that right. The guy who’s practically synonymous with entertainment is eyeing a spot in the culinary hall of fame alongside legends like Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray. Sounds ambitious, doesn’t it? But Ryan’s not one to shy away from a challenge.
Why Ryan Thinks He Can Take Over the Food Industry
Let me tell you what an insider exclusively told Closer: “Some might think it’s a bit far-fetched, but Ryan is dead serious about taking over the food world. Cooking isn’t just a side hustle for him—it’s a lifestyle. This isn’t some casual hobby; it’s a mission. He believes he can transform his passion for cooking, which he frequently showcases on social media, into a billion-dollar empire. Imagine Ryan not just as a TV personality, but also as the face of cookbooks, gourmet restaurants, television shows, food products, and even kitchen gadgets. That’s the vision he’s chasing.”
And here’s the kicker: Ryan’s not just saying this for show. The source continued, “He truly believes he has the drive and confidence to make this happen. You’d think someone who’s already achieved so much would be content, but that’s not Ryan. He’s always on the move, always thinking of the next big thing. There’s no stopping him once he sets his mind to something, and he’s convinced this is his next big venture.”

From TV Host to Culinary Star: Ryan’s Journey
For years, Ryan has been teasing fans with his culinary skills, often posting mouthwatering photos of his creations on social media. As the longtime host of American Idol, he’s no stranger to the spotlight, but fans have been wondering if it’s time for Ryan, now 49, to step into the kitchen and host his own cooking show. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to see that? In June 2023, Ryan shared a series of photos of himself making Italian Soffritto, a dish that highlights his love for improvisation in the kitchen.

“Probably the simplest vegetarian meal… I just used what I had in the kitchen to make Italian Soffritto,” Ryan wrote alongside the photos on Instagram. “It’s always fun to improvise, but don’t forget to finish it off with some extra virgin olive oil.” It’s clear that Ryan’s approach to cooking is all about creativity and simplicity, something that could resonate with viewers if he ever does launch his own show.
Fans Are Already On Board
It’s no surprise that Ryan’s fans are already jumping on board with the idea of a cooking show. One fan commented, “Maybe you should start your own cooking show like Rachael Ray,” while another chimed in, “Ryan, you should give up this Wheel of Fortune gig and do a cooking show!” It seems like the demand is there, and Ryan might just be the guy to deliver.
In 2022, Us Weekly reported that Ryan was seriously considering producing and starring in his own cooking show. According to a source, “Ryan is looking to produce and star in his own show about food. He loves the Stanley Tucci series Searching for Italy and wants to do something similar.” The source also mentioned that Ryan sees himself as a “Gordon Ramsay kinda guy,” which tells you just how serious he is about this venture.
