“I can hardly wait for tonight’s premiere of “Top Chef.” Not because I expect the season’s seven cheftestants to reprise last year’s Shakespearean battle for kitchen supremacy between the fiercely rival Brothers Voltaggio.

Not even for a glimpse of Padma Lakshmi, post baby bump. (Well, maybe a little.)”
