HGTV personality Jenn Todryk, known for hosting No Reno Demo, revealed she wanted to be a Food Network star.
Entertainment Now reported that Todryk shared that she's had a deep desire to have a cooking show in a February 24 Instagram Story. According to Todryk, who began her career as an HGTV star when the first season of No Reno Demo premiered in 2021, she approached "the head of Food Network" to inquire about filming a series.
“Fun fact: I always wanted a cooking show. In fact, I went to the head of Food Network because I used to work with her when she was over at HGTV. I was like, ‘Girl, I want a cooking show.’ And I’m dead serious. And she was like, ‘Jen, you’re not an expert. We cannot give you a Food Network show,'" shared Todryk in her Instagram video, per Entertainment Now.
She also said that she believes Food Network viewers would appreciate watching a non-professional chef.
“I was like, ‘Who wants an expert?! There’s so many of those!’ I don’t want an expert. I want to click on and I want to relate to the lady who worked today and is struggling to figure out what the heck to cook for dinner. The girl who loved cooking until she had a full family, who has very picky needs, and now she cooks because they have to live," said Todryk, who shares her three children, Von, Berkley, and Vivienne, with her husband, Mike Todryk.
Jenn Todryk Shared How She Got Her HGTV Show
In a 2019 interview with DFW Child, Todryk explained how her viral blog, The Rambling Redhead, led her to getting an HGTV series. She shared that she started the blog around 2015 when she "was just kind of in a funk, a low point" after having her second child. She said after using the blog as "an outlet" for five weeks, one of her posts went "viral." She also suggested that she would share aspects of home design on her blog.
Todryk said that HGTV reached out to her in 2018 to offer her a show. According to Todryk, the network let her know that she wouldn't be responsible for finding clients or homes. Instead, she just had to host and show off her renovation skills.
"They came out to my house and shot right after that. It was from the very beginning quick, easy, painless. I just felt like God made it too easy. He was like, 'Here, dummy. I’m trying to get your attention.' It was a sign, and I did it, and it’s been great," said Todryk in the 2019 interview.
The third and most recent season of No Reno Demo ended in December 2023. Entertainment Now reported that Todryk stated her show has not been cancelled while recording a September 2025 episode of her podcast, You, Me, and Mike, co-hosted by her husband. According to Todryk, there's been a delay in filming because she wanted to "take a step back" while still having the show succeed.
“I basically had to come to the realization that I’m either all-in and I’m over everything or I don’t do it," said the 37-year-old social media star.
