Food Network Star Lenny Mcnab Controversy - Will His Past Cost Him?

Photo - Food Network
Lenny Mcnab was just crowned the season 10 winner of Food Network Star, and there is currently a lot of outrage on message boards and in the Food Network blog comments section because of things Lenny has posted on the internet in the past.

Lenny had a crude Youtube video, which was recently removed by someone after people started talking about it.  Lenny also has a past with calling into the Ron and Fez show (currently on Sirius Radio) and is a frequent poster on multiple Ron and Fez forums.  Lenny's comments on those forums are also vulgar, and he even makes a derogatory comment toward Food Network's Ree Drummond.  Finally Lenny has a photobucket site with more videos that could be considered offensive.

Here is a rundown of some of the comments, videos, and controversial things that Lenny has posted on the internet in the past:

WARNING - A lot of bad language below and NSFW videos due to language.



  • Lenny had a video on his Youtube page that was recently taken down as so many people were talking about how crude it was.  He was cursing while cutting brisket, and the video included words such as the big C word.
  • Lenny posts as ChuckWagonCook on the Ron and Fez forums, and when he announced he was going to be on Food Network Star, he posted a teaser saying:
Without everyone out here...I would never of been out...............here?

As you know (or might not)...I was on Guy's Grocery Games this last year. Episode entitled "The Ol Switch-a-Roo" I ended up losing due to my undercooked lamb.

But that's not the point. Albeit it is a good point. At least for this thread....but still not the point.

The point I am getting at is this.

Years ago when I was phoning in to the Ron and Fez Show I knew that i had a certain "sticky" factor. (yes...like cum)...and I knew that stardom was in my future. I'm not trying to be arrogant or pompous...I just felt it.....just felt it.

Well.....here you go you cock sucking, faggot sticking, pussy licking, ass dragging, mouth breathing, knuckle draggin, keyboard jizzing, assholes......(my fans). That's means both of you.

I will be on Food Networks new season of.........
wait for it.......
So now I have a REALLY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT for everyone......
  • Someone commented, "He's taking over The Pioneer Woman show from the fake cowgirl Ree Drummond," and Lenny responded to that with:
"I'd fuck her...IN THE ASS!!!!!!  that's right...I said it!!!"
  • When someone pointed out a typo to him, Lenny responded, "Thanks Andrew....and BTW typo is actually my middle name. Leonard Typo McNab. It's a black thing." 
  • His profile one of the Ron and Fez forums says "I'm a fat fuck", and he has over 6000 posts if you want to root through them (You only need a valid email address to join). Here is a season long thread of people on the forums rooting for Lenny.

  • Lenny also has a Photobucket account under the name chuckwagoncook_2008 with odd and random videos:

  • On his personal website, he recently had at the bottom of it "Voted Best Lover By All Women 2003-2014."  That no longer appears on his website, but you can see it archived here

Who knows what else there is out there, but this doesn't look good for Lenny's future.  If the Food Network is serious about trying to do a show with Lenny, they may have to do some damage control.  Controversial pasts have resulted in the Food Network firing Paula Deen and Robert Irvine, and now we will see if a controversial past will have any impact on Lenny Mcnab.

UPDATE - Most of the links above point to nothing now due to the content being removed at those sites.  This is something that probably should have been done months or even weeks ago.  Gawker has screen grabs of the message board posts, and now The Braiser has a copy of the infamous brisket video.
