Kristen Kish Reveals Why She Took the Hosting Role on Top Chef

During “Hostess with the Mostess,” Top Chef’s new host Kristen Kish says Gail Simmons and Tom Colicchio are what made her want to take the job and she quickly found her footing with them in her new role. She also says she called Padma Lakshmi after she got the job and told her about it in-person. Padma offered her an open-door policy should Kristen ever need any advice.
