Mama Ruth Reichl and Mama Padma Lakshmi
How do Gourmet editor in chief Ruth Reichl and Top Chef judge Padma Lakshmi feel about their mothers? At the recent Women in Communications' Matrix Awards in New York, Reichl said, "I wake up every morning grateful not to be my mother. Grateful, in fact, not to be any of the women of her generation." Lakshmi, on the other hand, wasn't as concerned with former gender barriers. She walked up to the podium with her mouth full (would her mom be proud of that?) declaring, "I'm living my mother's dream. I sit on my ass, I eat, and I talk."
