Kristen Kish, who won season 10 of Top Chef, has been named host of the Bravo show. She succeeds Padma Lakshmi as host. Kish, an experienced show host, joins head judge Tom Colicchio and judge Gail Simmons for season 21.
“Kristen Kish represents everything that makes Top Chef incredibly special,” said Ryan Flynn, senior VP, current production, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “She’s an acclaimed chef and her experience as a cheftestant, winner and judge, alongside her culinary curiosity, makes Kristen the perfect host for the next chapter of Top Chef as we take on a new region of the country we haven’t explored.”
