Kish opened up to PEOPLEin an exclusive interviewat the 2024 festival about succeeding Lakshmi as the host ofTop Chef.

“I don’t know if I would’ve been the person to step into that role if she hadn’t held it for 19 seasons, and I don’t take that lightly,” she said. “She formed the pathway and the road, and then it was my job to be me and drive down that road.”

Kish continued, “You have to obviously give credit where credit is due.”
