Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Listos: kid with cancer gets a wish from Make-a-wish foundation to see/meet Ina Garten. She turns it down. Then she realizes its a bad decision for her business since she was getting bad press because of it. Instead of going back through Make-a-wish foundation, she tries to contact the family on her own. They turn her down with a flat no.(HOORAY! I would have too)

Make-a-Wish Kid Turns 'Barefoot Contessa' Ina Garten Down
by PopEater Staff, posted Mar 31st 2011 11:30AM
The tables have turned on Food Network star Ina Garten, the 'Barefoot Contessa,' who was publicly shamed last week for turning down a Make-a-Wish kid. On Monday, she called the family of Enzo Pereda, a 6-year-old cancer patient, to say she had reconsidered, but now TMZ is reporting they turned her down.
"This has been a disaster for Ina," a foodie insider tells PopEater's Rob Shuter. "She buried her head in the sand for days hoping the bad publicity would go over, but it didn't."
To a casual observer -- as well as the scores of new ex-fans -- Ina's change of heart on Monday appeared to be possibly driven more by the desire to nip a festering scandal in the bud, rather than to make a sick little boy's dream come true.
"She was worried her initial reaction was hurting her business," Shuter's source contends.
Ina had twice blown off meeting Enzo after the wonderful Make-a-Wish Foundation approached her before being shamed into finally contacting his family, independently of the foundation.
"Chefs think they are the new rock stars. And no one has a higher opinion of themselves than Ina," an insider tells Shuter. "She forgot a long time ago that it is the fans who make you who you are. You can be the most talented chef in the world, but if people don't like you, they won't watch your shows or buy your cookbooks."
Ultimately, Enzo's family decided to put an end to the madness and move on from Ina. "I don't want to put my son through all these emotions. We're better off just leaving everything the way it is," dad Adrian told TMZ.
It's great to see that the Pereda family holds no bad feelings and is already getting excited to have Enzo's other wish come true ... to swim with dolphins.

I hope Food Network steps up and sends a crew of it's best to see the kid. I know they aren't beholden, but apparently this sort of thing is real important to the little guy.

I don't think that this Ina was full of herself. I think she just thinks her time is better off making recipes and cooking than meeting her fans.

you mean the same fans who keep her at celebrity chef status? lol I guess if she has better things to do than to meet with fans, especially a child with a horrible illness who actually looks up to her, then I have better things to do with my time than watch her show or buy any of her products(which are hella overpriced to begin with)
