Matt Roush says...

There’s a new but familiar face at the judges’ table in Season 21 of the trendsetting cooking competition, when Season 10 winner and TV personality Kristen Kish (Restaurants at the End of the World) takes over as host from Padma Lakshmi, who stepped down after 17 years. The infectiously upbeat Midwesterner seems immediately at home on the set and in the season’s new location of Wisconsin, starting in Milwaukee. Kish introduces the 15 contestants to a few new twists, including cash prizes, but no immunity, for winning the Quickfire challenges. Immunity for the next round instead goes to each episode’s Elimination Challenge winner. The opener skips the Quickfire altogether, plunging the chef-testants into an individual challenge in which they prepare a special dish for one of the three judges: stuffed pasta for Gail Simmons, soup for Kish or a perfectly roasted chicken for Tom Collichio. Don’t watch on an empty stomach.
