After 10 seasons of culinary champions and tasty triumphs, Top Chef is -- for the first time -- headed to one of America's biggest foodie cities: New Orleans!
To help ensure this crop of cheftestants truly represented the city's unique flavor, host Padma Lakshmi set out to find one local culinary wizard to compete on season 11. Hence Padma's Picks was born -- a six episode webseries that pits two chefs against one another, with the ultimate winner earning a spot in the competition.
I caught up with Padma to talk about her maiden voyage with this series, how it impacted her role on Top Chef and what you can expect from the upcoming season!
ETonline: I can't believe it took 10 seasons to actually make Padma's Picks! It's such a fantastic companion piece for Top Chef.
Padma Lakshmi: Right? I agree -- it's wonderful, and I must say, I really enjoyed making the show. It's so nice...
