Why didn’t she just invite the young boy to her swanky Hampton $100,000/plate charity event then? To whom much is given, much is expected. Apparently she hasn’t learned this.
She couldn’t find time? She couldn’t have him join her on one of her shows? She couldn’t even find the time to do a video for him?
She’s just a silly chef. She’s not a brain surgeon, heart surgeon or president of the US. She’s just a chef, and she couldn’t carve any time away from “food” to spend time with a sick child?
Really? I don’t care if you’ve raised 20 mil for charities. The measure of one’s character is not what we do when people are watching, but what we do when no one is looking.
Kudos to Michael Symon and Beau MacMillan for stepping up and offering. I’m sure they’re both much busier than she is, and they’re willing to find the time.
If Bill Gates can find time for a MAW child, I’m more than certain this woman could have.
No one demanded she be a “celeb” chef. She chose it. With that comes a heightened level of expectations. If you’re not prepared to meet those expectations, then be prepared to suffer the consequences.
Someone who plays with food for a living that can’t find time for a sick boy’s request is someone who has an overinflated sense of their own self importance.
The FN should cut the “Contessa” loose.
