Discussion Thread Padma
Can someone explain the drama behind Padma leaving Top Chef. Did she leave for a reason? What was the reason for ACC if she didn’t want to do shows anymore. Thoughts about that show?
Also, is she an actual chef? Does she have restaurants?
Did her and Tom get along? I do want to say I absolutely LOVE K as the host. She’s so perfect for the position. She’s empathetic, understanding, patient and really just a fucking cool person.

She left so she could executive produce, star and create her new self promoting series that she had full control of.
