Food Network’s Barefoot Contessa Turns Down Dying Kids Last Wish
Any six-year-old boy whose hero isn’t Superman, Peyton Manning, or LeBron James, but the Barefoot Contessa, is probably worth meeting. This particular boy also has leukemia. Hmm… does leukemia cause the delusional crazies? Get back to me on that.
Through the good folks at the Make-a-Wish foundation, this kid asked for the chance to cook with Food Network star Ina Garten, but was turned down…twice.
“As much as [Garten] would like to, it’s absolutely impossible for her to grant every request she receives,” Garten’s rep told TMZ.
Every request??? It’s a dying 6 yr old on chemo with leukemia. Come on lady. I hope the kid grows up and starts his own show… baldhead contessa.
Enzo, the little boy, so desperately wanted to meet the chef he’d watched on TV, he held onto the wish after the foundation was turned down the first time. A year later he asked to meet her again, and again her handlers cited scheduling conflicts and gave the foundation a “definite no”.
That’s when Enzo was told to pick another wish. Now he’s going to swim with dolphins, all of whom are not too busy to carry a kid on their fin for the day. Maybe all this bad press will have Ina reconsidering the request. But at this point, she might not be Enzo’s hero anymore.
