Bonus #501: Padma’s New Road
Added 2024-06-27 22:37:17 +0000 UTC
This week’s bonus is all about our thoughts on Top Chef, Padma‘s new life, and The Bear.
I can’t believe Ben & Ronnie didn’t catch Kristin’s “thing” on this season of Top Chef. She goes out of her way to scandalize Tom with an F bomb in every episode - it’s hilarious.

I'm so over Padma - KKish is amazing, talented, witty, fabulously beautiful and not shoving her tatas in everyone's face :) tho not sure what Gail is up to the last few TC episode... Gail? plus Padmas' ..skills gained her a huuuuuge inheritance (billions) from her last ..'lover' - slow clap I guess

Ben, to add fuel to your anti-Bear fire, during Scandoval I used to watch VPR livestreams on Twitch with this streamer named Saria Hannibal and whenever promos for Bear would come on during commercial breaks, she would viscerally react with a sour face and say, “ugh, I don’t want to even look at him.” And when people asked her why in the chat, she refused to give details but said he and his wife were next-door neighbors to her mom’s house and she just kept saying they were (or he was, can’t remember if the wife was included) terrible and she wasn’t surprised they were getting divorced. I got the impression it had to do with alcohol, maybe drugs and terrible behavior. 🤷🏻♀️Anyway, I totally feel you about pretentious chefs, especially the male ones. When I watched the first episode of Bear, I was like, okay so this is restaurant kitchen as emergency room because of how insanely life or death they make everything seem.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. I thought he *wasn’t* related but those clickbait sites put their photos next to each other all the time to try and get people to click.

Ben — give Lessons in Chemistry a watch on AppleTV or even the book a listen, features many of your takes on the homemaker aspect! Plus, Brie Larson is great in it

Top Chef has run out of U.S. cities because it was just announced they are filming in Canada next season. There is a Top Chef Canada already.

Jeremy Allen White is not related to Gene Wilder 😊
I’ve fallen for the ‘did you know these celebrities were related’ click bait cuz of those two’s photos but turns they’re not related at all lol

In the finale, Gail says that one of the dishes was hard to eat and she couldn’t quite figure out “how to get the food into my mouth…” and I died laughing thinking of all the possible “Padma” responses to that. “Really, Gail? I don’t think that’s a problem you’ve EVER had before!”
I also hate that The Bear is considered a comedy, but I choose to ignore that fact and watch it anyway. I liked season 2’s ode to the Chicago culinary scene.

You should watch the dish with kish! They show you how to make food and Kristen really shines

Ben and Ronnie… lovers and liars is f girl island on the cw app. Camille is such an entertaining psycho villain. I truly loved her in this show and laughed my a$$ off. Y’all should do a Patreon recap or if there’s a gap in your coverage. You will thank me later

Fishes and Forks are hands down the best episodes of The Bear...until you get to S3, ep. 1.....It is fantastic! This show exceeds my expectations every time!
Also, great bonus episode today.

I agree, Forks is an amazing episide. The one before it Fishes is my favorite though. Ronnie, I think you will love it. Thanks for this bonus episode, it is great to hear Padma again!!

You guys are killing me about The Bear! 🤣 stick with it- the entire thing is worth the viewing of ONE episode… it’s episode 2:7. It’s called Forks. It is INCREDIBLE and will cater to what both of you love so much. Keep giving it a chance to get to Forks. Also: the Gene Wilder grandson thing was a fake internet rumor… it’s not true. 🙃
