Top Chef's Kristen Kish Felt 'More Confident' in 2nd Season as Host


Top Chef's Kristen Kish exclusively told Us Weekly that she felt 'more confident' heading into her second season as the Bravo series' host

“I probably just internally [was] more confident and sure of myself,” Kish, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 12, about her sophomore season as host of the Bravo cooking competition series. In a new interview with Midwest Living, Kish, 40, shared how it felt to replace Emmy-nominated host Padma Lakshmi, who decided to leave Top Chef in 2023 following season 20. The show’s latest season — which premieres on Thursday, March 13 — will see Kish and fellow judges Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons travel to Canada to watch 15 chefs compete in a high-stakes culinary battle.
