So, guess what? A recent survey revealed that three out of four Americans have totally bombed in the kitchen! Yep, you heard that right. In a world where we can just order pizza with a few taps on our phones, it’s no shocker that more than half of us can’t even boil water without setting off the smoke alarm. But help is on the way with Clueless Cooking 101!
According to a study by a fancy butcher from Oklahoma, 54% of Americans admitted they’re about as skilled in the kitchen as a cat trying to use a can opener. And get this—33% of folks have actually received some pretty harsh feedback about their cooking skills. Ouch!
But wait, the fancy butcher went full detective mode and ranked cities based on how clueless their cooks are. And the winner (or should we say loser?) is… Cleveland, Ohio!

Looks like these cities might need Clueless Cooking 101! Here’s the full list of America’s most “culinary challenged” cities:
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Seattle, Washington
- Madison, Wisconsin
- Lubbock, Texas
- Portland, Oregon
- Austin, Texas
- Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Nashville, Tennessee
Now, you’d think cities like Austin and Portland, known for their awesome food scenes, would have some top-notch cooks. But nope! They’re just as lost as the rest of us. And Atlanta and Nashville? With all their delicious Southern dishes, it’s shocking they made the list too. Maybe they’re too busy enjoying takeout to learn how to cook!
The survey also found that one in five people consider themselves “beginner” (that would be clueless status) cooks, while 35% are like, “Nah, I’m good!” (also clueless) and have zero interest in leveling up their kitchen game. Over a quarter of respondents admitted they feel super embarrassed about their cooking skills, and three out of four have “failed miserably” at their culinary attempts. Yikes!
What’s holding people back? Half of Americans say they’re too busy to cook, while 43% dread the cleanup. Others are scared of complicated recipes, lack experience, or just don’t want to risk burning down the house.
