Title
The "Barefoot Contessa" name comes from Garten's best-selling cookbook, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, which in turn was named after her specialty food store which she bought in 1978. The store, which is no longer in operation, opened in 1975 and was named after the 1954 film of the same name. She sold the store prior to its closure. The show is recorded in Garten's home in East Hampton, New York.
