  • Anyone know how she has got on since the show?

  • I am afraid that Ms. Lakshmi being a judge will factor against Radhika though

    I sincerely hope not. If she's unqualified and Padma is still keeping her on there, that is one thing but other than that I don't see why it should be.

    Wow this girl better win because Top Chef needs some more brown besides Padma Lakshmi. I am afraid that Ms. Lakshmi being a judge will factor against Radhika though...we shall see. Go Radhika!

  • Knows chef vikas too. Hope she wins.

  • Sam

    I agree.

  • Girish

    Whoa !!
