"Barefoot Contessa" Video Recap: The One With The Non-Impromptu Dinner Party

Ina Garten is the star of “Barefoot Contessa” on the Food Network. She's also perfect. So for those who want to experience Garten's glory, but don't have a half-hour on Saturday morning to do so, I'll be posting short video recaps of each new episode. How bad can that be? posted

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

Matt Cherette

This past Saturday's new episode was called "Cooking with Friends." Ina had two of her BFFs, Eli Zabar (yes, that Eli Zabar) and David Ziff, over for breakfast. But wait, there's more--and it's not at all staged! Here's what you missed:

  • I would rather watch Gwyneth Paltrow explain to me how to get a caviar stain out of a Chanel dress with a $300 bottle of 'spirit water' than to hear that stuck up B say fabulous one more effing time. How bad could that be?

  • http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/barefoot-contessa-turns-make-kid/story?id=13238578 One of many articles. Let's not all hate on her as much as I do, I have my own anger issues to deal with but she doesn't need the extra publicity.  Her name isn't contessa and she isn't even barefoot.

  • I'm apparently the only person who loves her. She has so many irritating qualities, but I still have an odd affection for her.
    That being said, they should call this show “Cooking With the 1%.”

  • Never liked her attitude. She usually comes across tired and depressing when I've seen her. Pretty chipper here.

  • She's “perfect”? This is the same woman who refused to meet a dying child from the Make A Wish program because she “had better things to do”. Yeah, that sounds like she's perfect to me.
