Padma Lakshmi leaving Top Chef

LA Times interview with Padma Lakshmi following her announcement that she’s leaving Top Chef

Sad to see her leaving. I’ve enjoyed her as host on the show. I wonder who will replace her?

I wasn’t even aware of the show until I read this article. I will definitely look into it, assuming it’s available to me.

On Hulu - I subscribe to Hulu solely for each season

I love Kristen, but it won’t be the same without Padma.

Best possible option if we must lose Padma.

I love Kristen! Great chef, and she has a funny sense of humor.

This is so sad…

That’s so sad. I have one of her recipes bookmarked in the first cookbook I ever owned “Secrets of the Beat Chefs”. It was her “Beast Sauce ”, a take on demi glacé. Loved to make that, especially with Beef Wellington.

Insanely sad.

Was reading about this earlier in the morning. Horrible.

RIP
