Tonight, Bravo airs the Top Chef: Chicago reunion, and what better way to get in the mood than by listening to the music of Padma Lakshmi.  No, these aren’t original compositions.  These are merely a sampling of her favorite tunes, which she shared on Los Angeles NPR outpost, KCRW.  To hear the segment, click on the player above.  It’s worth a listen if only to hear Padma’s “Thank you” in the first fifteen seconds (not to mention her description of Robert Palmer’s “louche sexiness” later on).
Unsurprising quote of the program:  “You know, there was all this marijuana smoke around me!”
