Torontonian Gail Simmons in line to host her own show (and maybe Padma Lakshmi’s show, too)

Toronto-born food critic and long-standing Top Chef judge Gail Simmons is set to host her own Bravo spinoff—Top Chef: Just Desserts. The new series will feature chefs competing against each other, just as in the original, though this time they will specialize in desserts and will be forced to live together (which should break the drama out of the kitchen to colonize the den, the bedroom, the breakfast nook and other parts of the house). The choice of Simmons, who began her culinary career as a food writer for Toronto Life, has fuelled speculation that she’s slotted to host Top Chef when Padma Lakshmi goes on maternity leave.
