Celebrity chef Ina Garten recently drew attention online after sharing a photo of a specialty vending machine she discovered in the Hamptons.

The machine, located at Cavaniola's in Sag Harbor, dispenses gourmet items such as cheeses, olives and crackers and operates 24 hours a day. Garten posted an image of the machine on social media, describing it as a "cheese and crackers ATM," according to a Daily Mail report.

Garten's caption sparked amusement online because many followers pointed out that the device was a vending machine, not an ATM.

Social media users joked about the mix-up, while others focused on the concept itself, expressing excitement about the idea of a vending machine offering gourmet cheese and crackers.

The deployment reflects a growing trend of specialty vending that offers fresh or premium foods in automated retail formats.
