Food network question: Is Ina Garten really a contessa?

Question

I've always wondered...............

Answer 1

No. She bought a store called The Barefoot Contessa, an upscale food shop. She made it a much more successful operation than its previous owner. Barefoot Contessa refers to a simple but elegant lifestyle, though the store was originally named after the Ava Gardner movie.

Answer 2

i dont think so, for one, she's an american. barefoot contessa is the name of a specialty food store in westhampton beach that she purchased. she eventually sold the store to two of her employees, but it closed in 2004.

Answer 3

I doubt it.. and I, also, doubt she goes around barefoot.

The Barefoot Contessa was the name of her store.
