It was my Christmas gift from my youngest daughter. We ate at Morton’s nearby and parked nearby. Everything was in walking distance within 10 minutes. To have the evening with her and Ina was surreal. Ina is one of a kind. She fits in to any environment. The show was perfect. Not too long. You could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet when she spoke. Everyone was in awe of her. I would go again.

My husband and I saw Ina Garten last night, at the Riverside. Enjoyed every moment of the conversation. She is very witty and interesting. And seems to have had a very interesting life. We would recommend going to see her.

The conversation with Ina was very enjoyable and entertaining. Her personal thoughts and life experiences I believe touched all in attendance. It was just a great experience, for most, who have watched her on the TV for so many years, a chance to ask her a question or just thank her for coming to Milwaukee. Ina gave insight in how her love for cooking changed her life. The audience shared how much they appreciated her. If there is one comment I would like to share with her is, Thank You, Ina, I know that my wife, Judy, prepares many dinners using mostly your recipes and I know she does this because she Loves me and I hope that she knows that I am diligent in being the best Jeffery to my Ina. I also would like to mention the parking is near and a special reduced parking fee can be purchased at the ticket counter, Also the show was OK for the general public. It is always nice to share time with people you enjoy and Ina is one of them. Great seats just a great time.

We saw Ina Garten last night. She is just as lovely in person as on her Food Network show. She was on stage for about an hour and 15 minutes, and I wish the show had been about a half hour longer. I simple would have liked more Ina!

A big screen would have gone over very well in the large Sony Centre. Katie Couric jokes they were cheap and wouldn’t be giving away cookbooks. Every other food celebrity I’ve seen has given away their cookbook and some even sign it. Instead of paying American Katie Couric to interview Ina, have a Toronto journalist do it and give us a cookbook.

The show ran smoothly. The conversation was good however nothing really new after reading her story in the intro of her cookbooks. I felt the experience would have been much enhanced with a screen in the theatre so people far from the stage could see the facial expressions during the conversation with Ina and Katie. Conversation is an intimate experience and the screen would have provided that for the entire audience.
