Padma Lakshmi, socialite and cohost of Bravo’s “Top Chef,” shared a selfie taken with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Friday evening.

“There are meals in your life you will never forget,” she wrote on Instagram. “I had dinner with someone I’ve admired for a long long time. And she did not disappoint. Witty and whip smart, she had a twinkle in her eye the whole night.”

Padma makes frequent posts from a progressive political viewpoint, so her adoration of RBG isn’t entirely surprising.

Padma also thanked the hosts of the Washington DC dinner, writer David Hagedorn and Michael Widomski, who is a communications official at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, according to LinkedIn. The couple appears to have planned the dinner around the guest of honor, RBG, who officiated their wedding in 2013, according to The New York Times. An Instagram story shows custom menus printed for the occasion that read “dinner with Justice Ginsburg.”

The dinner included deviled eggs, gazpacho, salmon, and ice cream.
