Padma Lakshmi, host and executive producer of Hulu's "Taste The Nation with Padma Lakshmi," joins me at 53 in NYC's Midtown. Over dumplings and hot pots, we discuss growing up as a latchkey kid in New York City, her amazing swim shoot for Sports Illustrated, and how to be informed and aware of culinary appropriation.
