We love anything to do with Bravo's 'Top Chef', especially since they've replaced last season's incompetent trophy wife hostess, Katie Lee Joel, with a far more confident (and, let's face it, better-qualified in the boob dept.) trophy wife hostess, Padma Lakshmi. So we were excited to hear, via Grub Street, that Season 1 "breakout" (read: "breakdown") star, Dave Martin, has moved on from his reality show fame and now has a real job at new downtown outpost of reopened restaurant Lola's. We can't wait to eat Lola's "haute southern" cuisine, but we'll know what to blame if everything's a little too salty.*
