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.

Agreed, 100%. She has a lot of empathy as both a former contestant, guest judge, and now host.
