1 ingredient 3 ways: How ‘Top Chef’ stars Gail Simmons, Tom Colicchio and Kristen Kish cook with cheese doodles
As 15 rising star chefs and James Beard nominees from across the country got ready for the season 21 “Top Chef” premiere, the show’s new host and two veteran judges joined “Good Morning America” to show off their own culinary chops.
This year, the Emmy Award-winning series, which challenges chefs to push their culinary skills and creativity to the limits in an array of competitions, is set in America’s dairy land — Wisconsin.
To celebrate one of the nation’s largest dairy producers, season 10 winner-turned-host Kristen Kish, along with judges Gail Simmons and Tom Colicchio, each created a recipe to honor an iconic American snack: cheese doodles.
“Oh there will be cheese — we did a cheese fest it was actually really cool,” Colicchio hinted at what to expect this season.
Kish, who cooked the dessert course for “GMA” with a sweet and salty sundae, said being it’s “so much better” being a host vs. a chef testant this year. “I love sitting next to them and spending the days with Tom and Gail.”
