Phoebe and Padma Lakshmi Swim Through a Lake of Shit

Sooo Many White Guys | Apr 9, 2019

Phoebe sits down with host/author/goddess Padma Lakshmi (Top Chef)! Padma talks about the realities of Top Chef palate fatigue, growing up as an immigrant often separated from her mother, roller skating around New York City as a kid, walking the runways of Europe as a model, and swimming through that lake of shit to get what you want. Plus, Phoebe and Joanie Mitch make bongs in woodshop.
