I find Padma's speaking voice unbearable; she sounds pretentious & stoned/drugged.

her scar? in an interview (forget prog./mag.) she did mention getting the scar from a car accident. but she also said she was embarrassed by it & allowed it to be covered when she modeled -- until helmut newton told her the scar made her special so now she loves to display it.

@SidheDragon: Me too. Me too.

She is also notoriously foul-mouthed, and her marriage to Rushdie was known for its drama. I found that out, and I couldn't believe she was the same woman because they really do seem to dillute her on "Top Chef". I barely notice her on the show.

Great smile.. Tacky outfit.. Nice dress... Hooker boots! Famous because she is/was married to the dude that wrote the Satanic Verses.. Salmon Rushdie..

As a woman working in the food biz, I, too, hate the arrogance and bravado of (male) chefs. But, I also hate Padma for posing for pictures like this, which doesn't exactly help change the boys' club attitude:

@miele: I think there's something to be said for having experience as a chef, in judging other chefs. As you must too, seeing as how you referenced your own credentials.

I hate the way the contestants on the show always seem annoyed that she's judging them because she's not a "chef". Her cookbook is a lot more interesting than most of their food. I've worked as a chef and I hate the restaurant chef arrogant testosterone bravado that even terrible cooks like to affect. So....I think Padma's cool basically.

@ThisIsWhy:

scar was from a car accident. I think she said she won't have it fixed because it makes her "who she is" or something like that. Personally I think she does it for the edgy attention.

She has the exact same features as Angelina Jolie.

She erks me in a big way because it seems as if the editors of Top Chef have to edit. all. her. words. together. because. she. can't. form. an. intelligent. sentence.

That said I hate her stupid pout that she does. so put on.

Again, living in Maine, I can never imagine the specific weather that be cold enough to make you put on a hideous full length down coat, but simultaneously warm enough that you would have bare legs.

She is actually a cook (i do not know about the chef title). She recently put out a cookbook; and while she is not Tom Colicchio, she is much more than the sex appeal Bravo needs for men (ahem, straight men) to watch Top Chef.

More importantly, she was married to Salman Rushdie. SalmanfuckingRushdie.

Psh, Padma's annoying. Her intonation/cadence/whatever when she explains the challenges and stuff on Top Chef drives me fucking NUTS.
But she seems funny besides that. They once asked about the scar on her arm and she replied that she got it tiger hunting in Bengal. Totally poker faced.
