\u201cTop Chef\u201d alum Padma Lakshmi<\/a> says JD Vance<\/a>\u2019s politics are far from the only gripe she has with the vice president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She was referring to an unsavory recipe Vance admitted to making his wife Usha Vance during a February Fox News<\/a> interview: a sloppy concoction consisting of veggies, ranch dressing and pre-made crescent rolls that the VP himself called \u201cdisgusting\u201d and \u201cinedible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Horrified, Lakshmi told Lydic, \u201cHe\u2019s married an Indian woman, so she comes from this very deep vast culinary tradition, you know, and he\u2019s giving her, what was it, ranch dressing?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWho bakes ranch dressing?\u201d the celebrated cookbook author said aghast. \u201cAlso, he\u2019s like, \u2018She\u2019s a vegetarian. She only eats bread, vegetables and dairy.\u2019 You\u2019ve been married to this person for over a decade, right? And we eat lots of things, right? Rice, lentils, beans, squash, all this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBut, I mean, maybe he knows what she likes because she doesn\u2019t really have good taste,\u201d she then shrugged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lakshmi, whose new chef showdown \u201cAmerica\u2019s Culinary Cup\u201d premieres on March 4, is far from the first one to shudder at Vance\u2019s peculiar taste in food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
