Padma Lakshmi's “Top Chef” departure leaves a hole in my heart.
first started in 2006, I was in high school. Seeing Padma Lakshmi on the show was one of the first instances I saw someone who looked like me being featured on a food show in a central way that wasn’t derivative or tokenizing. In more ways than one, her representation there gave me permission to work in the food world and take up that space—instead of following the model-minority trope of a doctor , lawyer, or engineer.
Throughout her 17-year run on, Lakshmi has branched out to other endeavors and grown as a major player in food. I’d like to think that I’ve grown alongside her in my own career and choices as a journalist covering food. Her leaving the show is a signifier that she’s been able to take that representation even further by starting her own show,. But her departure also leaves a big hole to fill in everyone’s hearts.
