The Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten, is in San Francisco and was spotted by a tipster dining at Zuni Café last night. Word is she looked happy and dined with a gentleman friend who may or may not have been Jeffrey. And yes, she had the chicken. Fans should be aware that she’ll be back in November on a book tour, signing copies of her new Barefoot Contessa Foolproof: Recipes You Can Trust, and chatting on stage with Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer on November 14 in San Rafael. More details here. Update: Turns out she’s in town shooting a San Francisco episode of her Food Network show, and she was spotted down at the Ferry Building too. Also, today she was shooting at El Paseo with Tyler Florence.
