The chefs this season seem pretty good; most (save Harold and 1 or 2 others) seemed kinda ify.<br/><br/>I've run into Harold 3 times now (Subway, LIRR, bar). Kinda weird, though it's NYC, so no surprise seeing NY-based (demi)celebs. Though not many people recognize him, so it was probably weird for him seeing someone with that look of recognition on their face. Anything is better than last season’s robo-host.

Also, did you notice the long scar on Padma's right arm? If they can't replace Katie Lee Joel, everybody's favorite Stepford host, with somebody who is physically flawless what is the point? d*s, wasn’t Padma’s utter gorgeousness balanced by the extra 15 pounds Harold was carrying on his neck?

not so much jealous (though who wouldn’t want legs up to their ears) but annoyed that they couldn’t get someone who isn’t an actor or model…

she may have all that good experience but that’s certainly NOT what they stress in her bio on the page:

http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef_2/bios/padma_lakshmi.shtml

model this, actress that, mini-series this, indian supermodel/writer that…

couldn’t we get some chefs or food editors or someone who doesn’t look like they want to make out with the camera all the time? hopefully she’ll prove to be a bit more than eye candy as the show progresses. i actually miss robot lee joel.
