First of all, they weren’t asking for a 15 minute phone call - they were asking for her to fly from NY to Oregon for a cooking less from her IN PERSON. Ina apparently gets “hundreds of charity requests a month” - there’s no way she can fulfill every single one.

Nearly ALL celebrity Make-A-Wish requests get turned down. MAW specifically tells families not to make requests like this because of the high likelihood they won’t be fulfilled. From what I can tell, Ina had to turn down the requests because they conflicted with a book tour and other pre-scheduled events. As you can…

I’m sorry but saying that “he looks like Ed Hardy fucked a juggalo” is a hilarious joke, well thought out and accurate.

Like Ricky Gervais, Richman became such a dick when he lost weight

Woah woah. I haven’t watched The Pioneer Woman’s show, but I used to read her blog back when it started and loved her story! Big city party girl stops back home in Oklahoma and falls in love with a rancher and over time turns into farming/cooking chick. Her recipes are dope (and were easily doable and affordable for a…

I read Pioneer Woman’s blog for years before she got a show. She was a well-heeled party girl who fell in love and married a rancher. What’s fake about her?

I got blocked by Richman. I tweeted at him “it looks like food is winning.”

Exactly. Ina doesn’t pretend to be anything she isn’t. She’s a self-taught caterer and home cook who has taken what she’s learned over the years and packaged it for the public. Her recipes and tips are reliably good.

Ina Garten is what I imagine as Cinderella’s fairy godmother.

I was curious as well, because I’ve found the same thing. Ina’s recipes are good and they work and it’s not like they’re pretentious or anything. Apparently this is what Bourdain actually said about Ina. It’s condescending, which Bourdain often is, but it’s not actually insulting.

I went to a concert on Sunday and wanted a burger to absorb the large beer I was drinking. I went to the stand and they were only offering Guy Fieri brand products. I didn’t want to support his crap, but I wanted the burger so I walked up to a counter and asked for a burger without “Donkey Sauce” (which is effing…

She’s also incredibly smart. She used to write White House budget policy.

YES! So what, Ina’s rich. She’s a good cook and a good TV personality. And she owns it. Unlike Pioneer Woman and her fake homespun persona/story.

But he can step off making fun of Ina Garten. That woman is a damned good cook, and her recipes always work. You know if you’re using something she wrote, it has been tested to within an inch of its life and the results are reproducible. Sure, she’s privileged, but she owns it and she is good at what she does.
