Kristen Kish

Kristen Kish was born in Seoul, South Korea, and adopted by a family in Kentwood, Michigan, at the age of four months. She worked as a model in high school. She attended Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago, earning an A.A. in culinary arts.

Kish became an instructor at Stir, a culinary demonstration kitchen in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2012, Kish was promoted to Stir’s chef de cuisine by the owner, Barbara Lynch. She was the chef de cuisine at Barbara Lynch’s Menton Boston until March 2014.

Kish competed in Bravo‘s Top Chef in 2012. She made it into the main competition by surviving a soup challenge judged by Emeril Lagasse. She won four elimination challenges, creating dishes as varied as French cuisine and onion rings, before being eliminated during “Restaurant Wars” (episode 11). She was able to cook her way back into the main competition with five wins in “Last Chance Kitchen”, making it to the finale with Brooke Williamson. In the finale, Kish was crowned the Top Chef, becoming the first competitor to win after winning “Last Chance Kitchen” and the second female winner in the history of the Top Chef franchise.
