While I’m still ril, ril angry with Padma “Sell Out” Lakshmi for doing those atrocious Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. commercials, I still got super excited when Top Chef Season 6 was announced this morning.
True, I can’t eat a damn thing they make (and I’m pretty much morally against it all), but I still find myself glued to the tube envisioning how I will veganize each and every creation. But wait! Will they veganize it for me this year?
While scrolling through the exciting list of guests, I couldn’t help but notice the name “Natalie Portman.”
As many know, Natalie is a long-time veggie and went fully vegan last year. Although Portman doesn’t talk about her veganism to any great extent, she once owned a vegan shoe line and judged the eco competition on Project Runway.
So will the chefs have to cook vegan for (my future wife) Natalie? I’m betting YES, YES, YES!
The new season begins August 26th at 9 p.m. Visit BravoTV.com to learn more!



This is exciting!
I’m just like you, Michael. Sometimes watching all that meat makes me want to vomit and turn the program off, but at the same time…I’m addicted to this show.
I really do hope they have at least a vegetarian episode this season. It’d be about time!
I like the Burger King commercials, but I like hot sluts in general. Padma is definitely the missing ingredient in Top Chef Masters right now.
