Kristen Kish is a chef who has been redefining the culinary world with both her talent for cooking and her life story. Kristen was adopted as a baby from South Korea by a family that not only embraced her heritage, but intentionally kept her connected to her Korean culture as she grew up in the United States.
After winning Season 10 of Top Chef, she went on to become a host of the show, with both her and the series earning Primetime Emmy nominations. Today, she works as Chef and Partner at Arlo Grey in Austin, Texas while also hosting Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend.
Her story shows how far the industry has come and how much stronger it becomes when more voices and experiences are welcomed at the table.
