The latest season of Bravo's Top Chef wrapped up this week. The guy I was rooting for, Dale, got eliminated several weeks ago. All good. I was just glad that Lisa did not win. Can I get an amen? Anyway, here's a Los Angeles Times profile on the Top Chef's host, Padma Lakshmi: The anti-Martha Stewart.

She's a decent host, and from what I can tell, a knowledgeable, articulate chef... but damn, she's also just really freaking beautiful. Holy smokes. Okay, I'll admit it—this post is largely just an excuse to post a photo of her. There.
