Food Network star Beau MacMillan and "Iron Chef" Michael Symon are both reaching out to 6-year-old Enzo ... hoping they can fill the void Garten left after she turned down the kid's "wish" to cook a meal together.

In fact, MacMillan tells us he's ready to fly Enzo and his entire family out to Arizona STAT -- put them up in a fancy resort and treat them all to a VIP dinner at his 5-star restaurant.

MacMillan says he also wants to bring Enzo into the kitchen so they can prepare the meal together.

As for Symon -- the chef tells us he'll be in Enzo's home state of Oregon in the very near future and would be more than happy to swing by Enzo's house to "cook a dish" with him too.

In her defense, we have NO idea if that information is even gettubg to HER personally -

She probably has a team of people that handle these types of things and just let her know "Ok, here is your calendar" KWIM?

Also, God knows how many people ask things like this of celebrities .........I KNOW this is a 6 year old dying boy, and on the surface it seems like she's a horrible person for denying him -
but again, she may not even know about it personally -

In that case then she should probably fire her publicist and respond to all this ASAP since all this bad press is probably ruining her career.

UPDATE on TMZ...

Story



I'm glad she's doing the right thing now, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I feel like now she's doing it because of the public's outrage, rather than doing it because it is the RIGHT thing to do.

But if it puts a smile on that little boy's face ... then that's all that matters, right?

"Garten's rep released a statement explaining how the Food Network chef only "became aware of Enzo's story this weekend" .... and insists she will be calling the 6-year-old later today. "

So, based upon this... She's not the heartless devil that everyone is making her out to be, she just has a bad publicist


Honestly.. i stand by my original statement of how everyone is so quick to rush to judgment on this woman.
It's a sad story for the little boy, but no one knows the real truth of how things really went other than sensationalized stories published by TMZ

Totally! She is only putting effort into it for herself rather than the little boy. True selfishness. They said they were trying to contact her for three years, it seems very convenient that NOW she is so available.
