This Week in Bacon

Posted by Kim on Mar. 27, 2009

Following in Paris Hilton’s footsteps, Padma Lakshmi, host of Top Chef, now stars in her own Carl’s Jr. commercial. The commercial — a 24-second ad — promotes the Western Bacon Cheeseburger. Watch as pieces of mayonnaise and bacon bits strategically fall on random parts of her body, so that she can entice the viewers by subsequently licking them away, or as she puts it, getting rid of the “evidence.” NY Daily News reports that this commercial isn’t the only place Padma promotes the burger:

But the sultry star isn’t just indulging for the camera. In her own cookbook “Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet,” she credits the grab and go burger joint for awakening her from her vegetarian slumber as a teenager.

“The sublimely pleasurable taste of bacon … was further enhanced by its mingling with the barbeque sauce, greedily licked off as it dripped down my teenage fingers,” she wrote.

And I thought Padma and I had nothing in common . . . never underestimate the power of bacon to provide common ground between strangers.

    kim,
    shes lost all respect in my eyes as an authority on food! ! ! ! ! i don't know how much she was paid to do this, but i doubt it was enough to justify the grossness that went into this commercial!
