In the steps of Paris Hilton, Padma Lakshmi has signed on to promote Hardees latest meat masterpiece the Bacon Western Thickburger. You may remember Padma as our very first "Babe That Loves Us" and from her hit show Top Chef.

In an interview from People.com, Padma was quoted as saying, "I think it's a beautiful love song to food," Lakshmi says of her new ad. "I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction."

According to Hardees the commercial is set to air March 30 in all Hardees markets. A Hardees source said of Padma's performance, "she was totally hot and a real class act. She can really put down a burger, too."

I can't wait to see the commercial and to try the burger too!
