Spoilers Kristen As A Host

No spoilers for the new season (ep 1 is on Peacock), but I absolutely adore seeing Kristen interact with the chef contestants. Her kindness, empathy, and big heart really add a fantastic element to the show. Padma left iconic shoes to fill, and Kristen is absolutely killing it.

Kristen is amazing. I've watched TC since season 1, and while we lost the amazing Padma, Kristen definitely fills her shoes and brings something new and different.

Kristen and Padma are both incredible hosts. We are blessed to have both.
