'Top Chef' Padma Lakshmi takes a darty bite

The Indian Amarican cook book author and former model Padma Lakshmi takes a bite on Western Bacon Thickburge.Padma Lakshmi shows that beautiful woman and beefy burgers has a dangerous combination.When you see Laksmi, atop a stool, hiking up her skirt and taking mouthfuls of Western Bacon Thickburger, and the barbecue sauce dripping down her ankle on the ground...how else would you describe it to be?Padma Lakshmi is going the Paris Hilton route by teaming up to promote Carl's Jr. in a steamy commercial.

This is the new raunchy and rompy ad of Hardee's Bacon Western Thickburger. Nobody ever thought that a burger commercial could get down to this smokin' hottie!But the sultry star isn't just indulging for the camera. In her own cookbook "Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet," she credits the grab and go burger joint for awakening her from her vegetarian slumber as a teenager.





The last time Carl's Jr. made news for an ad, it was for a slow-motioned Paris Hilton eating a burger in a bathing suit while washing a car.The burger-loving beauty proves that the old Carl's Jr. standby is still finger-licking good.
