Every city has a Donald Trump ours is just the Trumpiest.

I usually doze off between 7:30 and 9 p.m. while putting my baby to sleep. Then I suddenly wake up remembering I'm an adult with no bedtime. I spend the next four hours catching up on reading, e-mails, and other adult pursuits until I collapse for good until sunrise.
Padma Lakshmi
DON'T wear loud clanging bangles at work, it's disruptive and noisy and your coworkers won't appreciate it! Bangles should have a gentle wind-chimey tinkle, not the crash bang of a million pots and pans.
Padma Lakshmi
Jewelry should not upstage you. I pick one hot point on my body that I'm going to highlight. Let one area do the singing - you don't want to hear three songs at once.
Padma Lakshmi
I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.

I am a sufferer of endometriosis. I didn't want any young women to go through what I went through. I thought that people should know about it.
Padma Lakshmi
Flowers die and wine gets consumed. Both are lovely. I appreciate both. Wine and roses. I actually had someone bring me a lobe of foie gras once.
Padma Lakshmi
I always loved my bangles, I can't remember a time when I didn't have a bangle on.
Padma Lakshmi
I'm still amazed at how much people are willing to humiliate themselves to be on TV.
Padma Lakshmi
I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way... When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide.
Padma Lakshmi
I will eat anything, at least once. For better or worse.
Padma Lakshmi
During the course of filming 'Top Chef,' I gain 15 lbs., so I'm used to needing two dress sizes.
Padma Lakshmi
I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction.
Padma Lakshmi
Each city has its own culinary landscape.
Padma Lakshmi
I've always had a fantasy to write a cookbook, because everyone wants to know what a model eats.
