Top Chef Host Kristen Kish Shares Her Thoughts on Hosting, Food, and Self-Care
Kristen Kish, winner-turned-host of Top Chef, opens up about her journey in Season 21, taking the baton from longtime host Padma Lakshmi. Set in Wisconsin, this season offered Kish not only a new role but also a new culinary adventure exploring local flavors—like cheese curds, custard, and a standout Serbian restaurant.
In an exclusive interview with EatingWell, Kish shared her thoughts on everything from hypnotherapy to manage hosting nerves, to her healthy hotel-room routines, to her love for toasted black pepper (her pick for most underrated spice). She also revealed why she skips black truffles and smoked salmon, despite being a chef.
