CBSN
A new chef is sharpening their knives to host the next season of "Top Chef." And this time, it's someone who has already been through the heat of the popular cooking competition — season 10 winner Kristen Kish.
Kish, who was crowned "Top Chef" champion in 2013, is replacing the show's longtime host, author and activist Padma Lakshmi, who announced in June that she was leaving the competition after 17 years and 19 seasons. Bravo announced the news in a press release Tuesday.
In a video she posted to Instagram, the chef said she is excited to return to the show that launched her career as a public figure, adding that it feels like a "full-circle moment" and a "homecoming."
