"Kish spent the 12 years following her victory practically training for the gig, putting in time as host of Restaurants at the End of the World, Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend, and travel series 36 Hours, as well as appearances on Fast Foodies, Last Chance Kitchen, and Selena + Chef."
"I don't necessarily feel like there should ever be a time where you feel like you made it. In the same way I think about my cooking career, there's never a time in which I 'made it.' I'm still learning, growing, and having a good time."
"With the Top Chef money, after you pay taxes - pay your taxes, people - I took the money and I put it into an initial down payment for my very first condo. I was in Boston."
Kristen Kish, winner of Top Chef's tenth season, replaced Padma Lakshmi as host after nearly 20 seasons. Kish's extensive experience in cooking shows and her empathetic approach, stemming from her own contestant experiences, made her a fitting choice. She has hosted various culinary programs and gained recognition through her work on The Traitors. Kish emphasizes continuous growth in her career and reflects on her first paycheck, which she used responsibly for a condo down payment, showcasing her maturity in financial decisions.
