Kristen Kish dishes on Season 22 of ‘Top Chef,' Emmys, and the show's global impact: ‘It's all driven by the fans'

Kristen Kish, the Emmy-nominated host of Bravo's Top Chef, returned for her second season at the helm, offering a fresh perspective shaped by her experience as both a former contestant and a champion of the iconic reality TV cooking competition. The Season 10 winner stepped into Padma Lakshmi's shoes as the host of Top Chef last year — and wasted no time proving she was up to the task. Her debut earned her a 2024 Emmy nomination for Best Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program. More from GoldDerby Tramell Tillman could make Emmy history as the first Black Best Drama Supporting Actor winner New 'Freakier Friday' trailer, Mia Goth set for 'Star Wars: Starfighter,' Samuel L. Jackson heads to Taylor Sheridan's 'NOLA,' and the rest of today's top stories 'Survivor 50' spoilers: Jeff Probst on the 'competitive, dramatic' first challenge and what the 24 players told him at the marooning Now, as Season 22 nears its spicy finale on June 12, Kish dishes on everything from her favorite moments in the kitchen to her dream guest judges: "My parents! They're the classic Midwest mom and dad—I'd be highly entertained by their commentary.' Plus, she reveals why she's settling into hosting —'The joints are looser, I feel more at ease' — and breaks down what makes Top Chef an unstoppable force in the culinary world. Gold Derby: How was it filming Season 22 in Canada? Kristen Kish: I love filming up north. It's not a drastic departure from the U.S., but I got to use my passport. I love Canada — it doesn't feel that much different. Maybe a little more "Canadian nice," but other than that, it was very familiar. Do you have a dream destination where you'd like to see go next? Korea, Japan, and Australia. You're settled into hosting for your second season — how does it feel compared to the first year? The show itself is a completely well-oiled machine. They have everything taken care of. I think for me, it feels more familiar this time around. You feel more comfortable. I definitely feel more confident and settled. The joints are looser. I feel more at ease. How has being a former contestant shaped your approach to hosting? It impacts how I communicate with the chefs, but each contestant experiences competition differently — some are excited, others nervous, or insecure. While I can relate to the enormity of the experience and the pressure, my background allows me to approach the chefs with a bit more compassion. I've stood where they are, waiting to hear whether my dish succeeded or failed. What's the hardest part of hosting? Telling someone to "pack your knives." It's hard, especially when the chef knows they've made a mistake before deliberation even starts. That feeling of knowing you didn't perform your best is tough — it's not great to send someone home. But, even if a chef doesn't win, there's hope for success afterward. You just don't know what opportunities await them. Season 21 earned you an Emmy nomination for Best Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program —what was that experience like? I was honored and surprised. It's not everything to be nominated, but it felt amazing to hold the standard that Padma Lakshmi set for so many years. I was thrilled not just for myself, but for the show as a whole—that meant so much more to me than my individual nomination. What happens if a dish contains ingredients you dislike, such as smoked salmon or lamb—how do you judge those? Personal taste doesn't matter. Judging is based on technique: Is the dish seasoned properly? Is it cooked well? Are the proportions correct? Even if a dish contains something I don't particularly enjoy, I eat it—and I can still appreciate the skill and execution behind it. Do you have a favorite dish from your time as host? Oh, yeah. César [Murillo]'s pickle tart from the "Pickle Me This" episode was outstanding. A close second would be Massimo [Piedimonte]'s winning dish from that challenge — it was incredible. Tristen [Epps] also made a mackerel dish with a burnt pickle situation, jus lié — it was amazing. All three of those dishes were absolutely outstanding. You won as a contestant. What's your perspective on its role in the competition? I'm thrilled Last Chance Kitchen exists — it's a great platform for second chances, much like the restaurant industry itself. Sometimes you just have a bad day, and this allows chefs a shot at redemption. As someone who benefitted from it, I know how valuable it is to have that opportunity to prove yourself again. What's one dish you would rather order than cook yourself? Chicken fingers, preferably from the kid's menu. I don't enjoy making them at home; the best ones are always brought to you. Same with meatloaf — my mom's meatloaf is unbeatable, and I've only attempted to make it twice. I screwed it up so badly I just refused to ever do it again. What did you enjoy the most about this season of ? This group of chefs is incredible. It's anyone's game. Each one had such strong, unique points of view in food. From César's wacky concoctions to Tristen's hot streak and Bailey [Sullivan]'s comforting Italian dishes. They were so consistent. It's been an incredible season so far. Why has had such a lasting impact in the culinary world? The show has integrity — it magnifies the beauty of the food industry without focusing on interpersonal drama. It challenges chefs in meaningful ways but mirrors real-life culinary situations. Then there's the "Top Chef effect," where fans seek out chefs' restaurants, and dining scenes transform practically overnight. It's all driven by the fans and the community around the show. Who is your dream guest judge for ? My parents! They're the classic Midwest mom and dad. I'd be highly entertained by their commentary, though I'm not sure how helpful it would be for the chefs. My mom would be terrified, but it's fun to dream about. Top Chef airs Thursday nights on Bravo and is available to stream on Peacock. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.

Andy Cohen Shuts Down Lindsay Hubbard RHONY Rumors: ‘I Don't Think So'

Ever since Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard gave birth, fans have wondered if her time in the House is over, and a future on RHONY may be in store. While visiting Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live last week, Lindsay hinted at her future with Bravo. It's not practical for Linds to bring her baby into a weekend party house, so her time in the Hamptons may be over. 'Where do we go from here, Andy?' she asked. 'What do we do?' Lindsay was hopeful that she might fit in with The Real Housewives of New York, since she does, in fact, live in New York. At the time, Andy avoided the question, saying, 'Alright, let's talk about it after the show.' During a visit to Universal Studios in Orlando with his kids last week, Andy updated us on the status of some Housewives. He confirmed that The Real Housewives of New Jersey is still on hold. Basically, Season 15 won't be announced 'for a while.' They're still in the casting process at this time. Turning to whether Lindsay would join RHONY for Season 16, sadly, Andy put that idea to rest. Feigning surprise that people were talking about her joining the cast, the Bravo executive producer played dumb. 'Are they saying that? I don't think so,' he responded. 'But I think she should always be on TV.' 'We are between seasons,' he added. 'We are always casting, and that's what's happening right now.' Although, it was somewhat ominous that neither RHONJ nor RHONY were on the list of Bravo shows up for renewal. As far back as 2023, Lindsay has dreamed about moving from Summer House to RHONY. 'I'm ready to flip tables with girls my own age,' she said at the time. 'I think I was born to be a Housewife. But we have to get there first. I have to become a housewife first, and then maybe we'll graduate.' Summer House is now streaming on Peacock in the US and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED THAT LINDSAY WON'T BE ON RHONY? WHAT OTHER SHOW MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR HER?

RHOA Season 16 Reunion Seating Chart Revealed; Brit Eady Won't Attend

Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta kicked off with the chaotic storyline of Brit Eady feuding with Kenya Moore. We all cringed through the pistol comment that led to the salacious hair spa reveal. If you were hoping to get some closure at the reunion, too bad. Bravo just dropped the RHOA Season 16 reunion seating chart, and Brit is nowhere to be found. Kenya already told us she had been disinvited. It's no shock to see her missing from the seating chart. She didn't even get a cast photo this year. Brit's absence, on the other hand, has left fans with a whole lot of questions. There is a lot to take in with the RHOA Season 16 reunion seating chart. Porsha grabbed the first seat on Andy Cohen's right. Phaedra Parks, who just popped up in Episode 12, is sitting next to Porsha. Then, it's Cynthia 'Cheek Bones' Bailey, who has been out this season as a Friend. At this point, they might as well have given her a peach, too. Meanwhile, on Andy's left side, there's everyone else. Shamea Morton Mwangi snagged the first seat, ready to face off with her on-again, off-again bestie. Maybe Porsha and Shamea's moms can show up and settle their differences, too. Working your way down Andy's left, there's Angela Oakley and Kelli Ferrell. The producers plopped Drew Sidora on the very end of the couch. It's an odd placement, considering how much this season focused on her feud with Porsha and her messy divorce. There's no word on why Brit did not attend the reunion. Perhaps she didn't want to get grilled about the questionable status of her insurance license or why she didn't serve any food at the Country Club Classic. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for a statement from her. In the meantime, we'll be over here mourning what could have been a brilliant comeback season for The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The long-awaited reboot will end without any closure to its biggest storyline. The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues on Bravo on Sundays at 8/7c and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE RHOA SEASON 16 REUNION SEATING CHART? WHY DO YOU THINK BRIT SKIPPED THE REUNION? The post RHOA Season 16 Reunion Seating Chart Revealed; Brit Eady Won't Attend appeared first on Reality Tea.
