Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sitdown podcast.

Thank you so much for checking us out again this week.

I got another good one for you.

I got to say, my guest this week is a culinary icon.

The one and only, Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten.

If you're a big Ina Garten fan, if you watch her show, if you read her cookbooks, you follow

them religiously, or even if you've just heard the name, Ina Garten or maybe Barefoot

Contessa and you want to know more, you are going to love our conversation.

I have a feeling she invited me out to her house in the Hamptons, where her famous kitchen

lives in the barn she calls it.

It's the place where she shoots her show, where she develops her recipe, where she tests

her recipes, and eventually shows them to all of us on Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network.

It's also where she lives.

Her home is right across the yard.

She's got life figured out kind of guys.

She took me around the kitchen.

We sat down, had a great conversation over a meal that she made.

She just whipped up braised ribs, blue cheese mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, a salad

called the Charlie Bird Salad, which is amazing.

I helped her make all this stuff.

I really just kind of dumped stuff in a bowl when she told me to.

We did that first.
