Top Chef Returns Tonight: See Padma Lakshmi’s Transformation

Nov 7, 2012 @ 9:30 am

Top Chef returns tonight! We can’t wait to see what host Padma Lakshmi cooked up for the show’s tenth season (we can hardly believe it!) when she takes 21 “cheftestants” to Seattle to compete. “It’s amazing!” Lakshmi told InStyle.com of the new season. “The women are really strong.” So, in celebration of the latest reality food show round (and fingers crossed for a female victor!), let’s take a look back at the host’s transformation in the gallery. Top Chef: Seattle premieres tonight at 10/9c on Bravo.

See Padma evolve!

What to Expect from Top Chef Season 10: “The Women Are Really Strong”

Oct 19, 2012 @ 10:00 am

Sharpen your knives, season 10 of Top Chef returns in three short weeks, and we caught up with host Padma Lakshmi to get some scoop on the upcoming season. “It’s amazing!” Lakshmi told InStyle.com at last night’s “Connecting the Dots” exhibition opening in New York City. “The women are really strong.” With a male winner last season, does this hint to a female champ? Her lips are sealed, but we hope so! Tune in for the season premiere of Top Chef: Seattle, Wednesday, November 7th at 10/9c on Bravo.

Plus, see Padma’s transformation!
