Kristen Kish didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming the first woman of color to win Top Chef—or of one day hosting the show. She grew up in the Midwest as a Korean adoptee and those wins hadn’t crossed her radar. But with a little luck—and a lot of support—she got there. Listen as Kristen shares how one mentor changed everything by challenging her to think beyond day-to-day dinner service and chase a career she never thought was possible.

In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Kristen shares:

  • Who’s cooking she loves the most (chefs, they’re just like us)
  • The one woman who helped Kristen unlock her potential
  • What changed when she went from being a relatively broke chef to winning Top Chef
  • How she confronted her ego when writing her memoir, Accidentally On Purpose
