ArchivesTop Chef will return for a second season in October, Bravo announced yesterday. In addition to getting a new host, the series is moving from San Francisco to LA. Production “will commence this month in Los Angeles on thirteen episodes,” Bravo said in a press release. The show’s return “is scheduled for October 2006.”
Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons will both return in their same roles. Replacing the thankfully fired Katie Lee Joel will be Padma Lakshmi, who is described by Bravo in a press release as “the first Indian supermodel, [an] actress and [an] award-winning writer.”
In other words, she is not famous just for being married to someone much older and more famous than she is. She also has “extensive” acting experience and has hosted shows on The Food Network and Discovery Channel, which means she probably has a personality.
Update: While I was just trying to ridicule Katie Lee Joel, I didn’t realize that Padma Lakshmi is married to someone older and more famous than she is: Salman Rushdie.
