"Top Chef" Padma Lakshmi at BMS

Award-winning author and host of Bravo's hit show "Top Chef", Padma Lakshmi was at the Studio for a full day shoot for her new Show and for her new " Wine and Foodie Movie" series. Sterling Winery was also featured, with their impressive and tasty selection of cabernets, pinot noir, and chardonnay. During the shoot, there were quite a few bottles which disappeared amongst us.

Padma is best known for her Top Chef Show on Bravo. But she is also a popular fashion model, writer, actor and entrepreneur. Helmut Newton first captured the scar on her arm, and turned it into a fashion statement. From there she ascended the difficult path to becoming a " Super model", with Paris runways, magazine covers, and TV shows. The film career took off with Holywood and, given her Indian descent, Bollywood, where she has many credits. Or perhaps you saw her as the Egyptian Princess Bithia discovering the baby Moses in " The Ten Commandments" .

However, her instincts and passion for food is what makes her a talented chef. Her cookbooks are quite popular, full of exotic flavors yet residing on a low fat premise throughout. Maybe that has something to do with her keeping her trim shape so constant.

Robert Whitman was most brilliant at the shoot. His portfolio is one of the best I have ever seen.

A wine tasting will be scheduled in the Fall with the Sterling Wines.

Bobby Flay shoots at BMS

Bobby Flay, Star Chef of TV Food Network, shot 10 shows over the course of one week in the private kitchen of Ed Bennett at Bennett Media Studio.

"Working with Bobby and his production team was a delicious delight for me. I learned so many new recipes, and having Bobby here was better than any private chef. The show will be a treat when it airs in July," said Ed Bennett, founder and owner of BMS.

The 4 camera shoot started at 7am daily, and rarely broke until 6pm. The lighting in the kitchen was quite innovative, with the designer from the beijing Olympics. In all this was a Pro-team, headed by Rock Shrimp Productions.

Every Saturday, you can see Bobby in his greatest passion: cooking brunch. With a spatula in one hand and a cocktail in the other, Bobby goes from sweet to salty to savory, drawing inspiration for every-occasion we ordinary cooking mortals may encounter.

There was a special treat for Ed Bennett when Bobby made his signature poached eggs on sweet potatoes with pulled pork and fig sauce.

Ed was seen eating that dish for his dinner. While his vegan friends may raise their eyebrows, Ed was smiling all the way through the meal.
