If there’s one thing Kristen Kish has brought to “Top Chef,” it’s her face card: tears and laughter.
Since Kish returned to the Bravo show – she won season 10 – as host in 2024, watching Kish’s emotional responses has become as rewarding and heartwarming as seeing the chefs rise to their cooking challenges.
Speaking with Variety, Kish explains her response is instinctive. “I’m responding as a chef and a former contestant who has heard, ‘Pack your knives,’ and I’ve gone through these things,” she says.
As season 23 comes to an end, Kish reflected on her hosting highlights and picked out her top emotional moments of hosting so far.
