Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi
HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH:Streaming on Hulu
Series Debut
As host of Top Chef , Padma Lakshmi judges dishes made by some of the country's, well, top chefs. In her new Hulu series, she's taking a culinary tour or the country enjoying dishes made by some of the best amateur cooks, learning about different cultures and people through food. In her journey, Lakshmi meets various immigrant groups and indigenous communities to explore the country's history and our identity as Americans. —Gerrad Hall

Season Finale
As one Lakshmi-hosted show begins, another comes to an end. The second All Stars season of Bravo's Top Chef has been a fortuitous treat, serving unexpected challenges, unexpected exits, and at least one unexpected finalist. While the top three chefs have all made it to the finale in Italy — so far avoiding Lakshmi's dreaded, parting command, "Pack your knives and go" — they will have to depend on three recently eliminated competitors to help them cook the most important meal of their lives. The winner will get $250,000, the largest cash prize the show has ever given. — Marcus Jones
