> [@acsenray](#): > > Padma Lakshmi is more an eater of food than a cook on her show – gourmand, not gourmet. She started out as one of the rotating hosts on the Melting Pot, way back when the Food Network was first starting. I remember she had this weird, flat affect in her delivery, like she was half-baked herself, or couldn’t remember her instructions, or something. She rotated with Cat Cora and Rocco Dispirito (Mediterranean/Italian), and a couple of guys who did Spanish/Mexican recipes, IIRC. They occasionally show old episodes early in the morning on Food TV, now. They weren’t very good. Someone eventually figured out that _looking at_ Padma was superior to watching her c-a-l-m-l-y make recipes. ---

I don’t watch the Food Network much, but I might start. If their website had online episodes of Nigella’s shows, I’d be making up for lost time. ---

I watch it less than I used to. These days it’s overloaded with competitions, boring crap like _Unwrapped_ and that reality show about cakes in Baltimore. ---

Here’s another vote for Cat Cora, whom I happen to think is _extremely_ hot. Yes, I know she swings the other way but so what? I think Jillian Michaels is hot too. Maybe it’s just me but hey, a guy can dream can’t he? I also think Rachel Ray is cute…in a girl-next-door sorta way. ---

I would do Anne, there is something very sexy about her, but i wonder if she wears comfortable shoes. ---

Who are the attractive female TV chefs TO YOU? Ann B? Just to find out if the carpet & drapes match (color & style) Rachael? Looking very worn in her latest show Giada? Being a “boob man” it would be very hard to decline, but her snootiness might get in the way Nigella? Oh Hell yes Paula? I’ve often said, she could be a MILF screamer Spice Goddess? haven’t watched enough to have an opinion Mrs. Neely? Geena could smoke my sausage Sandra Lee? Would be fun to do her and use her curtains to wipe off on before leaving… Others? Aarti? Yes Alex Guarnaschelli? I think there is a playfulness there that needs to be explored Marcela Valladolid? Oh Hell yes Ingrid Hoffmann? yes yes yes yes Padma Lakshmi? mmmmm simmering hotness (yes, yes, a thousand times yes) ---

God no. And she’s annoying as hell, too. ---

> [@flickster](#): > > Rachael? Looking very worn in her latest show Yeah, Rachael hasn’t looked like her old cheerful self in quite some time. I remember when she coached the Next Food Network Star hopeful a few years back, she told them to smilesmilesmile ALL THE TIME when the camera was on, no matter what. And that’s what she used to do. These days she seems quite grim. ---

I haven’t heard or seen her reciently, but for awhile there, her voice sounded like she smoked four packs a day. ---

Well, I mean, sure. Hair all tarted up or just left to dry naturally, I can see her as attractive. In the right subdued lighting, with the right kind of blindfold on, the thick squeaky sound of soaking wet rawhide restraints tugging urgently against wrought iron… What? 😃 Truthfully? Yes, I find her to be pretty attractive. Her face, don’t care what color her hair is or if it’s all moussed-up. She’s a pretty lady. Cartooniverse ---

I’m normally not into bigger women, blondes, or short hair but I have to admit that I’m basically in love with Anne Burrell! I don’t know what it is exaclty, but she is SUPER sexy. It’s something about her lips and her smile and obviously the fact that she can cook like nobody’s business, but I’m waaayyy attracted to her, for sure. ---

Based purely on that one picture from the OP’s link, considering that I had never even heard of her before, no she is not particularly attractive to me.
