So perhaps it should come as no surprise that Garner’s struck a chummy friendship with the doyenne of all domestic goddesses and someone she’s long professed admiration for, the inimitable Ina Garten, which resulted in the two sharing dinner at In-N-Out Burger after the last stop on Garten’s book tour on Thursday night for her latest cook book, _Cook Like a Pro: Recipes and Tips for Home Cooks._ In an Instagram post, Garten sweetly shared that it was “only the best for my friend @jennifergarner.” For fans, however, that might be more interested in the food than the company, Garten obligingly confirmed that the burgers they ate that night were In-N-Out’s famous “animal style.” Dinner with Ina Garten and Jennifer Garner over burgers and fries? Sounds like the friend date of our dreams.
