We all know that Ina Garten, a.k.a The Barefoot Contessa, is probably the most amazing person in the world. I mean, come on, who else can have 10 men doing everything she asks while she just hangs out at home and casually creates a five-course meal? Taylor Swift loves her, Neil Patrick Harris loves her, everyone loves her. Let's face it, Ina Garten is the true Queen, not Beyoncé, not the Queen of England, not that poor imitation, Giada; The Barefoot Contessa is Queen.
Reason 1: Her cooking kills every time.
OK, so I have never really tasted something she made, but it always looks amazing. I have tried some of her recipes, though, and let me tell you, the woman knows what she’s doing. Only a true queen can whip out as many dishes as she does without even breaking a sweat or cracking her smile. You go girl.
Reason 2: Jeffrey.
Oh, Jeffrey, Ina’s loving and doting hubby. He is the idea of the perfect man. Jeffrey is always willing to run to the store and grab whatever his Queen just happened to forget (which seems to happen like almost every day, but hey, even the most perfect queen has her flaws). Jeffrey has no issue in the fact that Ina always has a slew of men trailing behind her because he knows she is his forever. Keep on keeping on, Jeffrey! I hope to find a man only half as great as you one day.
Reason 3: Her long line of side men.
Oh, the side men. Ina is the originator of the side hoe trend, only all of her men are gay and most are in healthy, loving relationships. While Jeffrey is out, Ina turns to her boys to run and pick up her floral arrangements and set her table in a picture-perfect way. Only the Barefoot Contessa herself can have all these men doting on her left and right, and no one even bats an eye. .
Reason 4: She is basically the refined Paula Dean.
You can’t deny it even if you wanted to. Ina doesn’t need to attract viewers by being loud and using literal tons of butter. Our soft-spoken Queen knows her audience will always come back to her calming and loving home each day to see a new miracle be made. Ina Garten exudes class; She is everything you could ever want to be.
Reason 5: She slays at basically everything.
Whether she is setting a table for a photo-shoot or just a "casual" neighborhood dinner, Ina Garten does everything to the utmost perfection. She is the true definition of what it means to be a queen.
Whether you watch her shows, read her cookbooks, or just have a vague idea of who she is, it is important to know and understand that Ina Garten is the true Queen of the world and we are all merely peasants by comparison.
"How easy was that?"
