Rob Gronkowski Wants to Eat a Big Sausage on Tonight's Top Chef

"You can call me honey," Padma Lakshmi coos at the Patriots' Rob Gronkowski, introducing him as a guest judge on tonight's episode of Top Chef Boston. What'll the chefs have to cook in a Quickfire Challenge?

"You know, I love my foods," says Gronkowski, "but I'm Polish, and I want a Polish sausage today. That's what I want."

"It's time to feed the big guy," says Lakshmi.

"I'd eat a big sausage," says Gronkowski.

"Me too," flirts Lakshmi.

Here's a preview of how it'll all awkwardly go down tonight:

The episode airs at 10 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, December 17, on Bravo. Tony Maws (Craigie on Main, The Kirkland Tap & Trotter) also makes an appearance, hopefully with fewer sausage jokes.
