She's been the host of several travel/food shows, and I have her cookbook (which is amazing). I don't think they would choose someone without some kind of culinary background to be a host/judge on Top Chef. Oh wait!! They did have Katie! Padma is an excellent speaker, and makes those occasionally corny, scripted lines sound genius. Personally, I think Padma is well qualified.

At least she has a cookbook or two under her belt. I think Katie Lee’s personality was a little more relaxed, but I think I like Padma better. At least she has a cookbook or two under her belt.

I just have a problem with her credibility on a chef show. Erin, I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks she’s a piece of work. I just have a problem with her credibility on a chef show.

I think I almost miss Katie Lee... It cracks me up every time Padma starts the quick fire challenges by saying, "And your time starts...... NOW!" Such a "sense of occasion." Ha ha ... As for cilantro in my cocktail. I'll have to think about that. It could be interesting. Padma is such a piece of work.
