"There is truly no need for something like this to be published in 2021 (or ever)," the "Top Chef" host said of the Washington Post piece.
Padma Lakshmi was among those left with a sour taste in her mouth after reading a Washington Post opinion column that inaccurately dismissed Indian cuisine as being “based entirely on one spice.” Written by humor columnist Gene Weingarten and published last week, “You Can’t Make Me Eat These Foods” focuses on the author’s distaste for sweet pickles, balsamic vinegar, hot dogs with more than two toppings, and other menu items and ingredients. Weingarten claimed that Indian food, in particular, is “the only ethnic cuisine in the world insanely based entirely on one spice.”
