Kristen Kish has replaced Padma Lakshmi as host, with Lakshmi announcing that she was leaving after 19 seasons of telling contestants to pack their knives and go.
For now, you can see Kristen Kish leading the charge, with new episodes of Top Chef airing at 9 p.m. ET Wednesdays on Bravo.
Top Chef Season 21 is underway, and things are looking a little different this time around.
The food may be one of the things she won’t miss about hosting Top Chef, but her reasons go just beyond the physical.
