Ok Padma I have read endless articles suggesting she is a gold digger. Up until now I really thought it was frivolous.
What on earth at a vivacious 38 do you have in common with a man nearly 70 years of age.
An interesting article about the gold digger: http://nymag.com/daily/food/2009/01/leggo_my_padma.html

UGH, what a snarky gossip piece. Who knows why someone is attracted to someone else. Love that purse though!

--- Quote from: apskip on January 22, 2009, 07:36:55 PM ---The authors of the above 2 interviews with Radhika are off the mark in my opinion. While cooking great food is the primary objective of regular episodes of Top Chef, that is not true for Restaurant Wars. The cheftestants are told up front that food, design, decor, and service are all important. As I recall hearing it, the main course food was marginally better for Sahana, but it was not a huge margin. The authors neglected to mention Hosea's braised beef, which was the dish I heard talked about as the best. The desserts of Stefan obliterated the desserts of Carla. Design/decor was even in my judgement. The service/front of the house for Sunset Lounge was clearly superior. It looks to me like Sunset Lounge won 2 of the 4 categories and was only a slight bit behind on another. The conclusion of that authors that Sahana should have won ignores these facts(facts because those are the judges' expressed views and not just mine).

I agree with your assessment Apskip, the guests also gave Sunset Lounge more votes if I remember correctly which also went into the consideration for which restaurant was better. Fabio was his charming self and no doubt his winning ways set the mood for success and Stephan finished it off with wonderful desserts.
--- Quote ---The other teams' dessert and Fabio's personality saved them. If the judges would rather have a good jokester personality and eat raw fish, then I don't know.

(re: Top Chef's Radhika Talks "Restaurant Wars" Loss
Oh I don't agree with this at all! He didn't save them but he was a major part of the ambiance and care for his diners.
