On September 11, 2001, the E.W. Scripps Company temporarily suspended programming on HGTV, and Food Network (and possibly DIY Network) after the infamous 9/11 attacks. It suspended normal programming with a slide saying "Due to the nature of today's tragic events *insert either Food Network, HGTV or DIY Network* is suspending programming. Our thoughts go out to the victims and their families." while the music Landscapes - De Wolfe was playing.

While most reports seem to suggest that this suspension lasted one day, a single photo of the Food Network slide saying "Due to the nature of Tuesday's tragic events, Food Network is suspending programming. Our thoughts go out to the victims and their families.", that resurfaced on a 9/11 archive website in January 2019 seems to suggest that programming was suspended for several days.

A 2-3 second long clip of the program suspension exists on YouTube. However, other than this short clip and the photo, the Food Network television suspension is completely lost, unlike the HGTV version, which was found on August 20, 2018. No known footage of Food Network in between 12:30-1: 30 PM Eastern Time on September 11 is believed to exist (excluding the 3-second clip). It is believed that Food Network suspended programming at exactly 1:00 PM Eastern Time alongside DIY Network and HGTV.

It is currently unknown how long programming was suspended on HGTV and Food Network, but again, the only known photo of Food Network's 9-11 suspension seems to suggest it lasted several days. Not only that, but it is unknown what program aired in the 12:30-1: 00 PM ET time slot and what show was going to air in the 1:00-1: 30 PM ET time slot, making any accurate form of a mockup near impossible. No footage of Food Network through most of September 2001 even exists, making an exact end date of the suspension impossible to determine. This makes this month in Food Network's history mysterious, making the program suspension even more mysterious.
