Padma = Jumping the shark !

Somehow Tom Colicchio is believeable drinking coke, but can anyone believe that Padma would go within a mile of Carl Jrs, let alone order and eat a good ol' greasy burger with more calories than she eats in a day.

Padma now has something in common with that other burger queen - Paris Hilton.

Padma and Paris - BFF's.

I never wanted a burger so bad!, ok not the burger I want ...

OK, she's good looking but, who is she and why do we care?

Boobies and Burgers -- GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I hate hardee's commercials.

beersnob - she is a former model who wrote an award winning cookbook, hosted a Food Network show, and has co-hosted one of the most popular food shows on tv the past few years. And she's hot.

I hate all commercials. TV has become a dangerous drug. Stay away from it. I'd rather drink a can of bacon fat than watch TV.

I don't think Padma eats at Hardees, but the commercial does stick in your mind. She is truly memorable.

Oh man, that is so hot and sexy and juicy...and Padma ain't bad either.

Owwww! Damn I never wanted a burger so badly. Hehehe

Saucy, Meaty, Savory and nice Buns, the Burger looks good too!

Gross. Not a big Padma fan. Hardees should do a porn-y one where a foxy guy eats a burger. Plenty of ladies love burgers and most of my female friends seem do most of the meal decision making.

Padma, I'll take two of those.

OK, it is a very sexy commercial, but most improbable as people have noted -- she would never be seen near a fast foodery and never eat a sloppy burger while wearing that lovely dress. It is certainly the most overtly sexual American fast food ad that I have ever seen (still nothing compared to that famous European Orangina ad!).
