I didn't know Wylie was such a spaz, very entertaining. Funny though how the men saw eachother as competition and didn't really take the women into account. Great episode although I don't know about the host's role - they're not letting her say anything about what she tasted and it's too bad because she has a lot of experience in this arena. Is she replacing Padma?

i think she's horrible as a host, and i see youre from NYC as well, so you i imagine you've seen her show? its horrible... the places are great, but her input is just bad.

i doubt shes taking over padma's role, i think shes just doing this 'masters' event and thats it.

To each his own I guess, but I don't like Padma at all. I don't like her sleepy demeanor and who cares about her pallet anyway?

Her first cookbook Easy Exotic was awarded Best First Book at the 1999 World Cookbook Awards at Versailles. She was host of the Food Network series, Padma's Passport, which is part of the larger series Melting Pot, in 2001. She has also been a guest host on parts of the British culinary tourism show Planet Food, hosting the segments on India and Spain.[13] Her second cookbook Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet was released October 2, 2007.[14]

Don’t forget she played a spoiled alien princess on Star Trek Enterprise.

yeh I found it pretty funny and sort of humanizing to see a top tier chef like Wylie fail at something then start dropping f-bombs all over the place

I had no idea this show even existed! I've been lost without my [illegally downloaded because I'm in Spain] Top Chef, which doesn't return until August. Am off to get copies of this now! Thanks so much for the heads-up.

Btw- I love Padma. But I think my husband loves her more. Sexy girls who love food and all that.
