Kristen Kish has been named host of Bravo's "Top Chef." She will host its 21st season, which takes place in Milwaukee and Madison and is set to air in early 2024.

New "Top Chef" host and Season 10 winner Kristen Kish solicited suggestions from her nearly 500,000 Instagram followers yesterday, asking for their Milwaukee "restaurant recs" on her story.

Kish will have plenty of time to explore Brew City's culinary scene because "Top Chef" is filming its 21st season in Milwaukee and Madison this year. This season of the competition-based cooking show is set to air in early 2024 on Bravo.

Filming has already begun.

On Sunday, Milwaukee shoppers and social media users at Whole Foods on Prospect Ave. spotted what appeared to be "Top Chef" crews filming in the grocery store.

One Twitter/X user posted a screenshot from the Instagram account @noshmke showing crew members filming with the caption, "'Top Chef' was filming at the MKE Whole Foods today. After being a fan of the show for so many years, this was beyond cool to see in person."

TMJ4 News also posted photos of "Top Chef" crew members filming at the store.
