I’ve lost all respect for America’s Culinary Cup. It started with the best chefs cooking their best dishes. Now it’s like Cutthroat Kitchen with everyone forced to cook with crazy ingredients. #CulinaryCup #CBS

Definitely trashed & under the influence, if you ask me. Which is fine, since I'm used to stoned or drunk Padma, but it's a little surprising for the premiere episode, IYAM. She must be feeling extra anxiety, stress, & pressure to succeed since her other ventures after #TopChef failed. #CulinaryCup

Is Padma drunk & coked out while hosting the premiere episode of her new #CulinaryCup #food/cooking #TVseries? She's swaying a LOT, slurring her words, acting weirdly flirtatious & artificially coy, and has terrible mush mouth, it seems.

I've seen her stoned on #TopChef, and this is not that.

Padma enters Culinary Cup in her saffron dress. #culinarycup
