Kristen Kish is a chef, restaurateur, author, and host of the hit Bravo cooking competition show Top Chef. She briefly studied international business in college before dropping out to pursue culinary school. After finishing her training, she worked several jobs in the restaurant industry in Chicago and Boston. In 2012, Kish was cast in—and won—the 10th season of the legendary culinary competition show Top Chef. Since then, she has opened the Austin-based restaurant Arlo Grey, released a cookbook, and founded a line of aperitifs. She also returned to the world of TV, becoming the host of several food shows, including 36 Hours and Restaurants at the End of the World. In 2024, Kish rejoined Top Chef for its 21st season as the new permanent host of the program. The newest season, Top Chef: Destination Canada, premiered in March 2025. This April, she released a memoir, Accidentally on Purpose, a frank, insightful look at her life and career thus far.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Description: She's become a leading voice in the culinary world and today stars as the lead host of the same cooking competition show that launched her career. Kristen Kish was eliminated from Bravo's season 10 of Top Chef, only to make a triumphant return through a Last Chance Kitchen opportunity that cleared the way for her to beat out the remaining competition and win the season.  Since that 2013 victory, Kristen has been everywhere – launching a new restaurant, Arlo Grey, in Jen's hometown of Austin (and another restaurant opening soon in New York), hosting some of our favorite food shows including Kitchens at the End of the World, Iron Chef, and now Top Chef (the student has become the teacher). She's also flexing a new muscle as an author. In her new book, Accidentally on Purpose, Kristen shares her story of being born in South Korea and adopted into a loving white, midwestern American family and what it was like for her to navigate her identity in all of its racial, sexual and professional contexts. Ultimately, what defines Kristen's story is how she learned to find her voice and use it and, while accidents may be unexpected, they don't have to be at odds with our purpose.  Our conversation today covers:  Pivoting, embracing change, and building a life that is truthful and authentic How the road to success was so much more winding and complicated than it may have appeared from the outside Knowing internally that it's time to make a change or take a new step forward How it's the behind-the-scenes, off camera moments that nobody sees where the decisions and discoveries are made, where the unexpected meets the intentional, and where things get really interesting. Battling imposter syndrome and burnout and quieting the voice of doubt How life's best opportunities often come from embracing the unexpected Thought-provoking Quotes: “I figured out that I don't need to be anything other than myself. I figured out I don't need to replicate somebody else's way of doing something. My voice matters.” – Kristen Kish “I think a lot of the nurture is in my personal life and a lot of the nature is in my professional life, because I can't tell you why I'm good at certain things. I didn't have to practice holding a knife. I didn't practice putting together flavors. It just came to me.” – Kristen Kish  “For a long time, I didn't know myself at all. I was too scared. I didn't want to know. I was scared of knowing where I came from because what if I found out something absolutely horrible? Sometimes you just don't want to know. And I've had to come to terms with getting to know all the really good things about myself that really have helped me move forward in life, but also really understanding the things that make me a challenge.” – Kristen Kish I wish I would have chosen Bravo over Twitter ten years ago. – Amy Hardin Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Top Chef - https://www.bravotv.com/top-chef Bravo! - https://www.bravotv.com/ Accidentally on Purpose by Kristen Kish - https://amzn.to/4iJQy04 Feed These People: Slam-Dunk Recipes for Your Crew by Jen Hatmaker -  Arlo Grey restaurant - https://www.thelinehotel.com/austin/restaurants-bars/arlo-grey/ Stef Ferrari, food writer - https://www.theycallmeferrari.com/ferrari-here Charlotte Rose Coleman, fashion stylist - https://www.charlotterosecoleman.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.thelinehotel.com/magazine/meet-atx-family-kristen-kish/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kristenlkish/ Twitter - https://x.com/kristenlkish?lang=en Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/KristenLKish/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kristenlkish Connect with Jen!

Kristen Kish didn't grow up dreaming of becoming the first woman of color to win Top Chef—or of one day hosting the show.

Kristen Kish may be new to hosting “Top Chef” but she's no stranger to the show. Crowned the Season 10 champion in 2012, she became the second woman ever to claim the title and has since returned to host the show. After her 2012 win, she's gone on to open her own restaurant in Texas called Arlo Grey, release a cookbook, and host other TV shows like National Geographic's “Restaurants and the End of the World” and Travel Channel's “36 Hours”. In this episode, she and Charlie talk about both of their experiences on the show, her as the fresh-faced host and Charlie as an eager diner, with no culinary palette, in the second episode. As a Michigander, Kristen says she felt at home while filming the newest season of “Top Chef”, which was set in Wisconsin, because of the nasally accents and Midwest niceness. The two discuss everything from Wisconsin supper clubs to anxiety, and Charlie even walks away with some tips for cooking as a single guy.  Follow Kristen on all platforms @kristenlkish and be sure to catch this season of Top Chef!

No Quickfire? No problem! Chefs take a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright houses and get inspired. The chefs are put into pairs to create dishes that deal with the theme of duality. Worst team goes home. A double elimination! Chefs Buddha Lo and Dominique Crenn guest judge. And host/chef Kristen Kish starts making the show her own.

For all Tom and Kevin know, Wisconsin native Frank Lloyd Wright's career might have been fueled by Pop-Tarts and Spaghetti O's. But some of the architectural luminary's best work can be found just a couple of blocks from where the Top Chef 21 chefs scavenge the aisle of the Whole Foods for their ingredients. This week, those chefs were asked to pay homage to Wright in a team challenge that stumped more than a few of them. The upside is some heightened tension in the kitchen and some incisive analysis at the judges' table, where Kristen Kish continues to shine in her first season hosting Top Chef. After four weeks, one contestant in the field continues to dominate — and it ain't a Top 3 pick.  A heads up that we will be hosting a LIVE chat during next week's episode at 9 pm ET on April 17 on Substack.

We finally made it to modern Korean darlings Yangban in the Arts District, we revisited our old friend Diego Argoti at Poltergeist to see if that panang lamb neck was still hittin', and, most surprisingly for me, we had a whirlwind at Evan Funke's Felix in Venice, my first time visiting the restaurant since 2019.

Top Chef season 10 winner Kristen Kish's new National Geographic series takes viewers to restaurants in some of the planet's most remote corners.  Musician and activist Harry Belafonte, 96, died today from congestive heart failure at his New York home. KCRW's Elvis Mitchell gives a remembrance.  If Biden is reelected, he will be 86 years old at the end of his second term. How much does brain health matter? A geriatric psychiatrist weighs in.  Prosecutors dropped criminal charges against actor Alec Baldwin in the shooting case on the “Rust” film set. New evidence suggests the prop gun was modified. 

Chef Kristen Kish sits down with Cameron to discuss their new show RESTAURANTS AT THE END OF THE WORLD out now on Disney+ and the National Geographic channel, grappling with how we're perceived in the world vs. how we perceive ourselves, and how food is an expression of who she is but not the entirety of who she is.

Former "Top Chef" contestant Kristen Kish not only has a new cookbook out, she's also launching a new series on the National Geographic channel where she enjoys homestyle cooking in remote areas. She joins to discuss both projects.
