Ina Garten plans to cook up something special, should she ever have the opportunity to host some of Washington's top politicians.
The Food Network's "Barefoot Contessa" star was asked by New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni what she would serve political figures.
For Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, Garten would prepare lobster macaroni and cheese. For Senate hopeful Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, an avowed BBQ lover, she would serve pulled pork shoulder with maple beans, cornbread, and a kale salad. Former Vice President Joe Biden would receive "something fun, like a lobster and clambake," Garten said.
And President Trump?
"A subpoena."
Garten made the comments during an event promoting her new cookbook on Thursday, and her comment was met with laughter by attendees, reported Eater.
Garten typically does not discuss politics, despite having been a staffer in Republican and Democratic White Houses. She worked as a budget analyst focused on nuclear policy under former Presidents Gerald Ford and Democrat Jimmy Carter.
"I think the more we cook and entertain, the more we stay connected with our friends no matter what their politics are," Garten said earlier this week in an interview with the Huffington Post. "So, no, I don’t talk about politics. I don’t know if people know what my political beliefs are or not, but I just think it’s kind of like people’s diets: You worry about your diet, and I’ll worry about mine. That’s how I feel about politics."
I heard her cookbooks suck.
Ina Garten and Frank Bruni... it doesn’t get any flaming friendlier than that.
Another boneheaded emotional outburst from a TDS-deluded “celebrity.” It’s never wise to alienate those who voluntarily provide your income.
We can have civility back when the Dems run DC. Until then it’s all harassment and nastiness.
Actually, I doubt we’ll ever get civility back. Dems have become the party of harassment and nastiness. It’s no longer about hurt feelings from losing elections. It’s their core principle.
Ina is that fat slob of a woman that is out of breath using a pepper grinder. I would serve her a defibrillator.
Maybe the media should start asking bureaucrats for cooking tips?
Who cares what the drunk from a cooking show thinks?
But she’s so gosh darn pleasant. Jeffrey seems to still like her.
There is nothing. There is no corner. There is no morsel of discussion that is not polluted by the Left’s interjection of hate and bigotry.
And if the media wonders why their viewership on major networks is now below that of reruns of “The Beverly Hillbillies”, this article is example 5,042.
SHUT UP AND COOK!!
Pudgy barefoot cook
She ain’t all that
I guarantee my gumbo is better than hers
I had no idea this person hated Trump, maybe I was just whistling past the graveyard, sure, but, now, I KNOW she hates Trump and also hates me and my entire family and circle of friends.
By the way she needs to be served Hydroxy-Cut. And water.
My wife watches her show. She’s always entertaining a bunch of gay guys. Her dips$$$ husband is a professor at NYU which says s lot. She gains about 5 lbs a week so we’ll see how that goes!
Big disappointment. I really liked her. I guess I don’t anymore.
There’s hardly a better example of a limosine liberal than this rich bitch.
Actually, everything I’ve cooked from her books has turned out very well. But my copies are going in the trash now.
Really? My wife wanted her new cookbook for Christmas. Once I tell her about this she will take it off her list.
TDS - a sad, sad thing...
