The Worst Scandals From The Food Network Stars

Ina Garten refused to help a Make-A-Wish child

The Make-Wish Foundation has helped to change many children’s lives over the years. It works with children suffering from long-term or terminal illnesses as it tries to make their ultimate dream come true. This could be anything from an experience day to meeting their celebrity idol. Enzo Pereda was just six years old when he was battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Enzo passed the days by watching Ina Garten on her show ‘Barefoot Contessa’ while he was home sick in bed. His dream was to cook a meal with the TV chef. However, what started as something so sweet turned into a nightmare as Ina rejected the offer to help. Apparently, Ina was busy touring and on the road as she had just released a new book and didn’t have the time to meet Enzo.
