Padma Lakshmi on ‘Top Chef’ Lessons Learned and ‘America’s Culinary Cup’

Season 1 Episode 59 Published 1 month ago
Description

Fresh off celebrating the Knicks’ long-awaited NBA Championship, Padma Lakshmi joins Kevin Fallon to discuss America’s Culinary Cup, the ambitious new competition series she hopes will become the “Olympics of food.” From being dubbed the “Beyoncé of food” to overcoming imposter syndrome during her early Top Chef years, Padma reflects on her remarkable career and the lessons she’s learned along the way. She also reveals why she wanted to strip away reality TV gimmicks, treat chefs like the superstars they are, and create a million-dollar culinary showdown that’s as glamorous as it is fiercely competitive.
