Spoiler alert! This story discusses the finale of Top Chef : Wisconsin . Those who haven’t seen it can stream the season with a Peacock subscription . Top Chef has crowned its 21st winner.
Brooklyn chef Danny Garcia cashed in on the $250,000 prize in the end by out-cooking the hometown hero Dan Jacobs as well as North Carolina’s Savannah Miller. However, fans of the show weren’t exactly satisfied with how it all went down, as many thought the edit led viewers to believe that Jacobs was the more deserving cheftestant. This season’s new host Kristen Kish has spoken out about her first time behind the finale curtain, and I have to say, it’s reassuring to hear what she had to say about their process.
Top Chef: Wisconsin didn’t see any huge reality TV scandals the likes of Season 7’s missing pea purée, but many fans (myself included) were left a little puzzled when Danny Garcia was announced the winner over Dan Jacobs. However, Kristen Kish didn’t seem to think there was any cause for alarm, as she told the Daily Beast the judges were all in agreement about the New York carrot whisperer. Kish said: Obviously, this is my first time sitting on that side of the table being part of it, but I didn’t find it to be long or drawn out.
We were all unanimously in agreement on our winner. I don’t remember having any major points of contention, or disagreements, or different points of views of who we thought was better or not. I’m actually reassured by the host’s com.
