House Beautiful Chops Columnist 'Contessa' for Florence

“Barefoot Contessa” Ina Garten is getting her walking papers as House Beautiful’s food columnist of five years and being replaced with fellow Food Network star Tyler Florence.
 
It’s the highest-profile change yet for HB editor Newell Turner, who was promoted to editor in chief in April. He got the job when predecessor Stephen Drucker was named to lead sibling pub Town & Country.
 
Turner said after a “really great run with Ina,” he thought Florence, who brings a West Coast perspective and has a young family, would help bring in new readers.
