Is the Barefoot Contessa a Contessa?
Regarding this, is the Barefoot Contessa really a Contessa?
Garten, to our knowledge, is not an actual countess (contessa is Italian for countess) and is usually wearing shoes (normally flats) on her show. The name of the show comes from a specialty food store she bought in 1978, after her stint as a nuclear policy analyst in the White House.
Just so, where is the Barefoot Contessa?
Barefoot Contessa store Garten left her government job in 1978 after spotting an ad for a 400-square-foot (37 m2) specialty food store called Barefoot Contessa in Westhampton Beach, New York.
Ina and Jeffrey Garten have been married for 50 years, and their partnership is definitely relationship goals. Ina and Jeffrey Garten are truly couple goals. The Barefoot Contessa and her husband will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary later this year.
