Rachael Ray made a public appearance in New York City on Wednesday after a long period of keeping a low profile following a health issue last year.
The renowned chef donned a head-to-toe autumn look, complete with a bomber jacket and corduroy trousers as she arrived to film “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

The 57-year-old television personality raised eyebrows among her followers last year when she shared a video talking about an incident involving the late Tony Bennett, where she recounted nearly causing him harm during a meal.
As she narrated the tale of how she almost caused a slip while polishing her floor, viewers expressed concern over her slurred speech, with some (not medical professionals) speculating it could be a sign of health issues or attributing it to her emotions regarding her late friend.
Following this incident, Rachael took to Instagram to post a delightful paella recipe but has yet to address the concerns regarding her speech.
Her segment on “The Drew Barrymore Show” is scheduled to broadcast on Friday.
