Vegetarian Star

Ex vegetarian turned Hardee’s burger food porn star Padma Laskshmi recently discussed her earliest food memories of New York.

Apparently even when she was vegetarian, the Top Chef host wasn’t doing food right. Hot dog bun with relish anyone?

“Looking back, I’m amazed how much we ate street food. My perfect meal would be a pretzel with mustard and then an Italian ice. I was a vegetarian for a lot of my childhood, so I would order a hot dog but tell him to leave the hot dog out—just the bun and the fixings, like sauerkraut and mustard and relish.”

Um, a trip to the falafel cart for some high protein chickpeas stuffed in pita bread would have made for a more nutritious vegetarian meal. This is even worse than the vegetarians who just start eating cheese all day.

So now we know. Poor Padma just never learned what good vegetarian food was.

Even insects on hot dog bun sound more appetizing.

This is why you should hide the remote from your children at the end of the month folks.

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is shown here in her video ad for Hardee’s Western Bacon Thickburger, which will start airing next week.

Gorging on disgusting amounts of cow and pig (and who knows how many parts from each animal), former vegetarian Padma discusses how she’s “always had a love affair with food,” and her, cough, cough, “fond” memories of sneaking and getting a bacon cheeseburger before dinner in high school, devouring it, and leaving no evidence.

We tried to post this early so you wouldn’t throw up your lunch.

Padma may have swayed from being a vegetarian for her love of real meat, but y’all know there are waaaay too  many fake meats out there for anyone to use that as an excuse to go back to eating animals. You could re-create the Padma nasty burger with a completely meatless one.
