Culinary Goddess Padma Lakshmi Retches At VP Vance's Terrible Taste In Food

"There are so many reasons to hate JD Vance, I didn’t think we needed a culinary one, but it’s so bad," she laughed during an interview on "The Daily Show" last week.

“Top Chef” alum Padma Lakshmi says JD Vance’s politics are far from the only gripe she has with the vice president.

Calling out his questionable kitchen habits while appearing on “The Daily Show” last Tuesday, the model-turned-foodie told host Desi Lydic: “There are so many reasons to hate JD Vance, I didn’t think we needed a culinary one, but it’s so bad.”

She was referring to an unsavory recipe Vance admitted to making his wife Usha Vance during a February Fox News interview: a sloppy concoction consisting of veggies, ranch dressing and pre-made crescent rolls that the VP himself called “disgusting” and “inedible.”

Horrified, Lakshmi told Lydic, “He’s married an Indian woman, so she comes from this very deep vast culinary tradition, you know, and he’s giving her, what was it, ranch dressing?”

“Who bakes ranch dressing?” the celebrated cookbook author said aghast. “Also, he’s like, ‘She’s a vegetarian. She only eats bread, vegetables and dairy.’ You’ve been married to this person for over a decade, right? And we eat lots of things, right? Rice, lentils, beans, squash, all this stuff.”
