'Top Chef': Natalie Portman and Padma Lakshmi talk dirty

When people talk about "food porn," they usually mean that dishes on cooking shows or culinary magazines arrive on the plate looking impossibly rich and luscious.

Wednesday's "Top Chef," which featured guest judge Natalie Portman, put a different spin on the phrase.

In a "that's what she said" moment, host Padma Lakshmi described part of contestant Bryan Voltaggio's dish as "like a little prick on my tongue." The comment induced the giggles in Portman, and from there the commentary on the dish went to an even racier place.

It's better seen than described, so take a look at the clip below. The action starts about the 3:50 mark -- and remember, they're talking about garlic blossoms. (For the record, Bryan's dish was good enough for him to advance.)
