The Ivy went country yesterday as someone named Chris Gaines Garth Brooks shed his cowboy hat and cheesy checked shirt for a more touristy ensemble -- and decided to munch on a $27 salad. This ain't Oklahoma anymore!
He was mobbed by a ton of fans as he walked out. Seems he's a big star.
16. This guy sells out an unprecedented 5 concerts at Staples in less then an hour, donates 100% of the profit to California fire victims, he has a huge fan base - of course this guy is a huge star!

17. "Seems he's a big star" ?? Garth Brooks is the top selling solo artist of all time (and second only to the Beatles in total sales -I'm assuming TMZ has heard of them). So yeah, I'd say he's a big star.

18. Not everything at the Ivy is outrageously expensive, the portions are actually huge and the food is fantastic. Getting attention is not the only reason celebs head there. My husband just about curled up and died when he tasted their meatloaf...it was heavenly. My huge serving of salmon was tremendously good. They are also fantastic to their clientele, even when it's a little ol' nobody like me. Clearly they just won't let you past the picket fence, TMZ.

19. Just me, I'm in Washington. And still, regardless of how good it is, no salad is worth that much. It's leaves and vegetables.

20. Garth sold out 9 shows in 90 minutes in Kansas City last November. If you have ever seen him you would know why. Each show was almost 3 hours long. Gets along with everyone and takes whatever time is needed to do autograph sessions or interviews. TMZ you need to get over your phobia of country music and the people who play and listen to it.

21. TATTERED UP CHICK,
IT ACTUALLY IS A VERY GOOD PLACE TO EAT. I DIDN'T MIND PAYING THE PRICE AT ALL. I DON'T GO ALL THE TIME THAT WOULD BE OUTRAGOUS. IF I'M MEETING GIRLFRIENDS FOR LUNCH THEN I DON'T MIND. I'M STILL BLOWN AWAY ON THE GAS THING!! I REMEMBER WHEN GAS WAS ONLY THAT MUCH HERE!!

23. My little bitty car only takes 30 bucks to fill up! Gas is around 2.75 in some places here. Depends on where you go for it. Still, I would havea hard time paying that much. If I'm gonna spend an outrageous amount of money on something, it will be a tad more then just a salad. =D

25. Yeah...what Miss L said in post #23!
I saw him in concert and let me tell you out of all the concerts I have seen he is the best! What a show.

26. Hey! I've lived in Oklahoma City for the last thirty two years. I hated all this country stuff when I came here. Country music is NOT my thing.
However in the last few years this place has actually been transformed into a beautiful city, and affordable to live here too.

27. I'm not a fan of country music but, yes, Garth Brooks is a big star. As far as the pig's feet comment: I live in the South, have never had pig's feet (nor would I want to), and I would appreciate it if TMZ would stop perpetuating ridiculous stereotypes of the southern states.

28. Ok so I don't understand. 'What's next? The Ivy to Serve Pigs' Feet?'
Is TMZ saying that the Ivy serving Garth Brooks is bringing down the level of class? Are you kidding? Think about all the other non-talent scum that have walked past that picket fence.

29. It's official! You're an idiot!

30. I'm one of those hick Oklahomans, some 1400 miles away, that TMZ seems so mysteriously gleeful about insulting. I've never eaten pig's feet (or possum or squirrel), but I don't mind a good ribeye steak or a slab of ribs. I'll sure take it over tofu. And if the TMZ staff didn't have it sink in yet, I'll reiterate: Garth Brooks has topped Elvis in sales. Perhaps ya'll are familiar with the works of Mr. Presley. Now if ya don't mind, Elly Mae and I are gonna jump in the covered wagon and head to the general store.
