A Message From Chef Biatch
Dear Bravo TV,
Howdy, my name is Chef Biatch. I am a fan of several of your shows. I have a complaint and hope you will take the time to listen.
On Project Runway, you have the beautiful Heidi Klum. She fits into the scheme of things. Model, goofy laugh, that whole German thing… it all works.
Top Chef doesn’t need some hottie in hooker clothes to be host. It’s food we are looking at, not anorexic women walking up and down a runway wearing some pretty fucked up clothes. No, we are looking at frog legs, snails, bacon ice cream, etc...
First we had the blow up doll, Katie Lee Joel and now we have Padma Lakshmi. Padma is beautiful, no doubt, and has food experience, but she is almost as exciting as Ms. Joel.
As Chef Back Burner has mentioned, hire Ted Allen next season. He’s hot, funny, and can cook.
Bravo, have you forgotten your target audience?
Need I say more?

In all fairness to Padma, I think part of the issue is that TC hasn't played up her food experience at all. She hasn't commented in the kitchen or at the judge's table. In fact, now that I think about it, even Gail doesn't seem to be getting as much talk time this season as she did last--there's a lot more focus on Tom this season. I'd be interested in seeing Padma and Gail tour the kitchen while the chefs are working and hearing what they have to say.
I really don't have any problem with Padma. And I honestly didn't even notice what she was wearing until I read all the comments left about her over at Bravo.
I have to agree wholehardly with Chef Biatch. I don't have any problems with Padma's personality or comments on Top Chef, but she is definitely not the right host (or judge) for this show. I watched her when she had a very short-lived cooking program on the Food Network and it was a total disaster!! Not only did she wear clothes that were extremely inappropriate for any type of cooking show, it was basically scripted for her to read off a moniter, it had everything already chopped and measured into bowls, and still she had difficulty working the blender and heating the pans. It was so bad, I even sent an e-mail to the Food Network (which I normally totally love) to ask them why they had lowered their standards in such a manner.
When I saw in the previews for Top Chef that Padma was going to be the new host, I couldn't believe it!! I'm sorry, but in my opinion, Padma's input and judging lowers the credibility of this season's Top Chef.
I also agree. Not impressed with Padma and wish we were hearing more from Gail. Thanks Chef Biatch.

I agree; I'd like to see a better host in addition to a kitchen mentor. But are you suggesting they be the same person? I don't know if that would work.
I'm still on the fence with Padma. I think this whole season is off, and Padma is only a minor part of the problem. The challenges are not very exciting. While these chefs seem to be talented, they are playing it way too safe. That Thanksgiving show was a joke and the dishes were laughable. Honestly, all three bottom chefs should have been let go, though Mike did put forth some effort.
