POPULARITY
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!

On this week's Top Chef episode, Dylan begins with a rant about why Last Chance Kitchen isn't available on Peacock. What year is it??? Then, he gets into the Ritz cracker-themed Quickfire, which requires Padma to take some unnecessarily large bites. The rice challenge proves underwhelming, but a high-stakes LCK kickoff ends the episode on a high note. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nadia and Bernard breaks down a wild episode that features the Last Chance Kitchen part 1 winner returning, forced product placement and a tricky Elimination Challenge.
After Top Chef welcomes back an eliminated contestant from Last Chance Kitchen, Kevin and Tom dive into Episode 6's drama -- or lack thereof. The competition show brings in trailblazing women to honor trailblazing women and the chefs deliver satisfactory meals, but hardly anything transcendent. With the help of producer Anthony Mayes, Tom and Kevin try to untangle their feelings about this season of their beloved Top Chef and wonder if its recent softness is a symptom of a broader cultural shift.

And finally, he goes on a little bit of a rant about why you shouldn't serve organ meat to a group of strangers.

We kick off this week with a lol heavy episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills AKA the Kathy Hilton Show. Is Sutton "That girl" who doesn't see color? What do we think of Kathy's nightly routine of chips and a red bull? Was Garcelle's comment about Paris uncalled for? The "Bottoms Up!" prank was lol worthy, but Sutton's paranoia ruined the fun. The RHONY ladies are a hot mess at the Breakfast at Tiffany's dinner. Can Ramona take a big dick? Is Leah taking things too far? Are we team Eboni or team Lu? Speaking of hot mess, we are back with the Shah's crew the morning after their 2010 NYE party. Mike "apologizes" for his actions, but there's a snake in the group! Do we think it's Reza or GG? The nightmare charter guests finally depart the yacht over in Below Deck. Gary proves to be the absolute worst (again). Will he and Sydney hook up next week? Family Karma is back! We get caught up with what everyone has been up to, and there are many developments throughout the group. We love having them back on our screens. We check in with the Married to Med cast. Will Scott and Contessa last? Are you team Heavenly or team Lisa Nicole? Million Dollar Listing NY was dark this week as we entered into the Covid of it all. But Ryan's spinoff show brought some light to our lives with some family fun. Top Chef was a delight as per usual! Dawn wins the quickfire challenge and wins $10,000. But she faces off with Byron in the Elimination Challenge where she fears she will get sent packing. Ultimately she is safe and Byron gets sent to Last Chance Kitchen. Come join us and Let's Talk Bravo!

We kick off this week with the RHONY ladies giving us some classic RHONY vibes. Sonja is STILL talking about the Morgan's and Lu is STILL talking about Tom. Ramona wasn't aware that oysters came out of the ocean dirty and all we have to say is...are you shucking kidding me? Closing out New Jersey for the season we are forced to ask, does Teresa know what an analogy is, or better yet, what sexual harassment is? Andy digs deep with some personal questions, but he is really in his element with the ladies or RHONJ and we love it. In Beverly Hills we get to see the start of what we hope will be a Garcelle and Kyle make up. We both "own it baby!" and declare that we are done with Rinna on our screens. But we are LOVING our wacky Kathy. The ladies play two truths and a lie, but Erika, as per usual, leaves us with a giant question mark. The Shahs crew heads to Palm Springs for a 2010 NYE party themed weekend. It seems everyone but GG understood the assignment. How do we feel about the new girl, London? Has the crew never played beer pong in their life?! One thing is for certain, we both love to shop at Target so we are clearly not shallow. In Below Deck we learn that JL is in fact STD free. Can Gary wait ONE WHOLE WEEK for the season to be over so he can sleep with Alli, or will he screw that all up next week? Was Captain Glenn giving us Captain Sandy vibes? Married to Medicine had us thrown with the group get togethers this week. Are Toya and Contessa new besties? Should Contessa and Scott take their marriage off screen to work things out? Million Dollar listing was the Ryan show with his The Ryan The Witch and The Wardrobe themed listing event. How much money is too much money to spend on balloons? Top Chef had the stars of Portlandia for their quickfire challenge. We celebrated Gabe winning this week's elimination challenge, and said so long for now to Chris who is heading to Last Chance Kitchen. The Bravo schedule has been SO MUCH FUN and we can't wait to welcome back some other favorites coming back soon, including RHOP premiering on July 11th! Come listen with us and Let's Talk Bravo.
This week, we're talking about Top Chef Season 18, Episode 8, and... well, Amanda has thoughts about Restaurant Wars, and Jack has thoughts about Last Chance Kitchen. Social Media Links: Twitter: Podcast Amanda Jack Instagram: Podcast Amanda Jack
This week we kick it off with the first of two parts of the RHONJ reunion. Do you believe what Jennifer said about Margaret talking behind Joe/Melissa's back? Are you team Margaret and Melissa or team Jennifer and...? Beverly Hills premiers and we love the glitz and glam! Do you fully believe Kyle's nose job story? Is $20,000/month a good friends and family discount? Do you like the new housewife? We were all equally shocked by Kathy's childhood dental procedure stories?! RHONY was full of LOLz this week while the ladies continue their Hamptons getaway. Did Ramona donate her plasma? Is Sonja jealous of Lu? Does Eboni deserve an award for understand the minds of both Ramona and Sonja in this episode? Back in the world of Beverly Hills we discuss the premier of Shahs of Sunset. We are happy that everyone seems to be making up, because their negative energy is toxic. Do you stan Reza and MJ's friendship vibes? Do you believe that Mike had his iCloud hacked? (no is the only acceptable answer). We finally have an episode of Below Deck Sailing without a Sydney/Gary/Alli storyline and it was refreshing...up until the point where we meet the new guests. Does JL need medical attention? How do you think Dani handled the news? Heavenly is in true Heavenly form and is stirring the pot in Married to Medicine. Should Heavenly and Kathy Hilton team up for a Dentist Drama spinoff? Ryan lands the listing for Marc Jacobs, but the house goes from fab to drab when all of the lighting and furniture is no longer present. Do we love Ryan's strategy for selling this listing? It's restaurant wars week over at Top Chef Portland! Kokoson was the clear winner between the two, and Maria takes the individual win for the challenge. We say farewell for now to Sarah who gets sent to Last Chance Kitchen. Listen with us and Let's Talk Bravo!

It's an important week and episode of Top Chef Portland as one chef made their return to the competition after running the midseason Last Chance Kitchen gauntlet. Then, it's a "second chances" quickfire, as the chefs are tasked with cooking a dish they may not have executed well either on the show, at home, or in their kitchens. Finally, in the elimination challenge, the cheftestants cook meals for first responders. Who was able to make a dish that was reheatable and perfect for on-the-go front-line workers, and who couldn't find inspiration? Find out on this episode of EID.

The prelude to Restaurant Wars is here and we're ready to break it down! Who's coming back from Last Chance Kitchen? Who served some of the worst looking chicken in Top Chef History? And the highly anticipated return of Padma's bangs!
In Episode 258, Madden and Kolsky dive right into the deep end of pop culture topics with a shocking admission from Derek as they discuss: The latest in Top Chef () including Madden quitting on Last Chance Kitchen and the difficulty of finding oneself as a chef on a reality … Continue reading →
The RHOBH trailer is here and we can't wait for the glitz, the glam, and the drama! This week we talk about our most favorite shows of the week and work our way down our list of faves. Summer House was leading the pack this week where Hannah is being quite DESperate. Should Des have been more involved with the rest of the housemates? Are Hannah and Des moving too fast? Are Danielle and Robert moving too slow? Are either of them following Lindsay's timeline? RHONJ does what our housewives do best, meet with a psychic over drinks and a cheese plate. We had some heavy storylines with Jennifer's parents as well as Dolores's mammogram results. Below Deck Sailing Yacht continues to highlight Sydney's problematic behavior with Gary, which is turning us team Scary Gary but we are learning to come to terms with that. In Dallas we learn even more about D'Andra's wild past with a curveball about her Dad's will. There's not a whole Profit Lott to discuss in Atlanta this week, but the season finale is next week and we're ready to move on to a good old fashioned RHOA reunion. Dr. Jackie and Dr. Simone are finally giving us hope to move on and fix their rocky friendship. Lastly, we are still getting to know all of the contestants on Top Chef while they serve their best West African dishes to the judges. We love that Dawn won this week, but Megan's fave Brittany got sent to Last Chance Kitchen. Come join us and Let's Talk Bravo!
This week the three amigos sat down with their new amigo - Chef Kevin Bartelt (comedy podcast producer extraordinaire) to discuss Top Chef Season 18, Episode 2 - "Trouble Brewing!" We get the inside scoop about what it's like to be sequestered on Hell's Kitchen from Kevin, we wonder if you're allowed to turn down hanging out with Tom on Last Chance Kitchen, and DOES IT REALLY TAKE 30 MINUTES TO MAKE AVOCADO TOAST?!?! Also, Bryan's fancy microphone decided not to work during this record so you're hearing his voice recorded from a laptop mic... we know it's not ideal, and there's a big part of me that wants to apologize for it... ----more---- Subscribe for new episodes every Monday.

Another jam packed week in the world of Bravo! We pick up with the ATL women closing out their trip in New Orleans. Was Marlo trying too hard for a peach? Are we as uncomfortable as Big Freedia was at that dinner? Married to Medicine gave us the feels with Michael leaving for college. We are left anticipating the upcoming Jackie and Simone meet up! The guests from hell leave the sailing yacht and do not leave the crew with a very good tip. Megan has finally come around to the interior and now we are BOTH team Daisy. Scary Gary gets himself into a scary threesome situation. Speaking of a situation, in RHOD, Kary is incredibly rude to Charles, the Bigfoot believer. Jearica does some research on turkey hunting. Will Kary become a vegan after watching herself in this episode? We've got boats and babes at the Jersey Shore and there is tension in the salty air. But everyone comes together by the end for the Nonno memorial and it's salty tears all around. R.I.P. Nonno. We love you. Top Chef has a breakfast themed quickfire challenge which is Megan's dream.

"The first time I did a Top Chef Colorado, says Chef Brother Luck from Four by Luck in Colorado Springs, that was more about anger. I was angry at myself for losing the show. And I understood why. I was disappointed in myself. Coming back for the second season and doing Top Chef, Kentucky was a decision that I probably shouldn't have made. I was so quick to want to validate myself from losing the previous season and feeling like it was unfinished that. I went back and I wasn't in a good mental place. And in the end, I think that's where a lot of young chefs don't understand, is you have to take care of your mental health." What we covered in this episode From depression to raising awareness for mental heath issues Chef Brother Luck shares his "big lesson" after being on multiple cooking TV shows like Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped, and Last Chance Kitchen. Cooking on television isn't real. It's entertainment. Chef Brother Luck takes us to the time when he was told "pack you knives and go!" when he lost Last Chance Kitchen. The elimination from Bravo's Top Chef was the beginning of some important life changes for Chef Brother Luck. Chef Brother Luck had a very traumatic childhood. "I never realized how much that was going to affect me as a man. I built up a lot of anger from all that pain. And you can only hold that in for so long." "And all it takes is one fracture of a scenario to break it and it's coming out. You don't know how to handle that. And I think that was where I was at at that point in my life when when I got kicked off Top Chef, Kentucky. Losing the show was the trigger." "That was a really hard time. And I was one of the fortunate ones to say, you know, I need help. And I want to go talk to my therapist. I need to be around people that actually care about me because I felt used at that time. And I think when you're in a situation where you feel used or taken advantage of, you're gonna shut down. And that's exactly what I was doing." His therapist diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) about two years ago, which stemmed from experiences like the passing of his father and violence in his childhood. Chef Brother Luck came to realize that sharing his story helps other chefs and cooks struggling with the same challenges. "When someone's dealing with depression or insecurities or not feeling like they belong or they're looking for validation, the answer isn't to ask them “are you OK?” I think the answer is to share your own story so they don't feel alone." "I think we don't have a labor shortage right now. We have bad leaders. So we have to change our our culture. So I think that's where it starts." Read Chef Brother Luck's essay about mental health and depression (link to article in the "link mentioned in this episode" section below) From cooking for necessity to owning Four by Luck restaurant in Colorado Springs "I never wanted to be a chef until they told me I was good at cooking. And that compliment is what I became hungry for. I wanted that attention. I spent my whole career chasing that approval of that male role model." Chef Brother Luck mentions the benefits of Griffith Center for Children, C-CAP, and Pro-Start programs. The cuisine at Four by Luck is continuously influenced by four main providers who supply the ingredients "The Hunter, The Gatherer, The Fisherman, The Farmer" Influenced by a recent trip he made to Japan, Chef Brother Luck transcribed the love that Japan has for nature, menus celebrating the four seasons into his local region in Southern Colorado. "It's not about which ingredient is the best each season. It's about the transformation of the ingredient from the season." For Chef Brother Luck at Four by Luck, cooking is about survival. The story of each ingredient as it transforms through the season is what it's about. Favorite ingredients: Huitlacoche, pronounced weet-la-COH-cheh, is a fungus that grows on ears of corn, and,
