So Good brings us this image of Padma Lakshmi, host of Top Chef. If you look carefully, you’ll see she is about to lovingly bite into a burger.
Starting this month, Lakshmi is promoting Hardee’s Bacon Western Thickburger in a commercial directed by Chris Applebaum, who memorably brought a babe and a Carl’s Jr. burger together in a 2005 ad starring Paris Hilton.
Carl’s Jr. parent company CKE Restaurants owns and operates Hardee’s.
According to People Magazine, Lakshmi says of her new ad, “I think it’s a beautiful love song to food.”
