I can't watch Padma anymore without hearing the Watch What Crappens podcast version of her voice. "Did you MEAN to add ketchup?" "My GOOD FRIEND ALI WONG!" "Hello poors!" "Am i right, everyone?" 🤣

"Gail, stop eating the props." omg I just watched the interview and she name drops Ali Wong within 30 seconds of sitting down.

[carminaburana]

She totally did 🤣

"And now, I'll bring out a less-famous person! Come on out, peasant!"

I love it so much.

She looks amazing in sports illustrated. Like damn. Appreciate seeing “older women” kill it and look just as hot as these 20 year olds. As I’ve gotten older the only thing that’s been frustrating to me is seeing how society seems to think past the age of 30 means you should be a wrinkly mess and there’s no way anyone can look good without having significant work done…like..newsflash 30 is super young, 40 is super young.

I see a lot of that on here (just look at any "I turned 30 today, death is upon me" posts) and it's really depressing. People on here must really know some decrepit 30-50 year olds because they act like you have one foot in the grave, stay home knitting, don't fuck, and have body parts falling off.

This is irrational but I remember the night of my 30th birthday and somehow having convinced myself I would wake up and look totally different.

I didn't. lol

I really enjoyed "Taste the Nation" and will be watching Season 2.

I love Padma and Top Chef (current season is sooo much fun)
I think my favourite thing about her is her love of alt comedy, like Padma has the same taste in standup as I do and I find it very funny, she’s an improv comedy nerd

I’m loving this season of Top Chef!! But I need Tom to go home he’s so annoying and idk if I’ve ever been as mad at a contestant as when he wasted the teams entire budget on a dish that wasn’t even good.

[wapiko]

like how he is he STILL THERE

[clockspiders]

I have absolutely no idea!!! I get (and I’m terrible I don’t even remember her name) the other dish in the bottom at the picnic was completely bizarre but he was so much worse. His ego is out of control.

Did you MEAN to make another season of Taste the Nation?!

I love Watch What Crappens' imitation of her and her disdain for Gail.
