Padma Lakshmi is brilliant, beautiful, fearless, and currently experiencing the kind of success her younger self could only dream of. The second season of her Hulu show, Taste The Nation With Padma Lakshmi, just dropped. In it, she examines America’s foodways and the history behind them. Padma is of course best known as the host of Bravo’s Top Chef, which is currently in its 20th season. Just a few weeks ago, Padma was named to the Time 100 list of the year’s most influential newsmakers and she is featured in this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, the one with Martha Stewart on the cover.
Padma joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about these achievements, her intentions regarding Taste The Nation, and how the show was harder to get made than she expected.
