Food Networks’ Raid the Fridge wouldn’t be what it is without host Dan Ahdoot and his hilarious commentary. You can see the actor/comedian working his magic to cheer up the contestants while also gently accepting the judges’ harsh decisions.
But how much do you know about his romantic life? Is he married or still in the dating game? And what is his net worth and height? Find out the answers as you scroll down.
Is Dan Ahdoot married or dating?
No, Dan Ahdoot is not married and he does not appear to be dating anyone as of 2021. However, he was once engaged to a woman named Vikky Krinsky.
In 2015, Dan Ahdoot first revealed Vikky Krinsky as his girlfriend via a Tweet. Yes, albeit indirectly, he wrote to pastry chef Alanna TT that he and his girlfriend Vikky were huge fans and they had a “question/favor.”
Back in August 2016, the couple got engaged and were definitely at the peak of their relationship.
Plus, the following year, the couple did very well. Plus, at the time, Vikky shared in an interview that in addition to “inspiring people around the world to look at food and cooking in a very positive way,” her plans included “marrying (her) lover, Dan Ahdoot.”
The couple has never been seen together since then. It can be said that they have both gone their separate ways as there is not a single post of each other on their social media pages.
As for when their relationship started, we’re guessing it was sometime after 2013. Well, he was still looking for a girlfriend before that. One of Dan’s tweets from February 2013 read, “That’s it. I’m done with online dating. Going to do it the old fashioned way. Anyone know anyone I could hook up with?”
Also, in May 2012, when the comedian joined the online dating game, he joked that his profile name was “Who wants some of this i-Cock!”

Talking a little about her fiancée, Vikky Krinsky is a chef who owns the nutritious VK Energy Bar. In addition, this beautiful woman is an actress who debuted as “Shelby Derouche” in the hit Canadian television series Edgemont (2003). She also went on to play “Taylor Woodall” in Lifetime’s Wild Card.

What do we know about Dan Ahdoot’s parents?
Dan’s parents are Iranian immigrants who often appear in Dan’s tweets and jokes. Some of the jokes Dan makes about his parents are — Google and Persian moms wonder the same thing; a Persian woman booing me from the front row. Like my mom is here; My dad flirted with a transsexual in my elevator. I told him it was a guy, and he went to wash his hands.
Overall, Dan says his parents are great people. They are supportive of his career and have even made a few appearances at his events.
However, it wasn’t always that way. As immigrants who were desperate to live the American dream, they wanted Dan to become a doctor. So they sent him to Johns Hopkins and paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars. And then, Dan decided to become a comedian.
Additionally, Dan shared that they were “a little bit in denial” about his involvement in religion. “My mom still thinks I keep kosher in the house, which is not true. She doesn’t want to admit it,” he said.
