Kristen Kish Opens Up About Date Nights with Wife, Bianca, and What They "Love to Do"
The Top Chef host loves to play board games after trying a brand new cuisine in her spare time.
Kristen Kish has been killing it as the host of Top Chef Season 21, which takes place in Wisconsin.
That is to say that things have changed just a bit for the Austin, Texas-based chef, who also won Top Chef Season 10. Kristen, who is the chef/partner of restaurant, Arlo Grey, at the Line Hotel, went from being a cheftestant to the host of Top Chef.
When she isn't filming the show and judging the delicious food from the chefs competing on Season 21, Kristen lives as normal of a life as possible with wife, Bianca Dusic. Her free time might be limited nowadays, but she likes to relax and have fun when she has a day off.

Kristen Kish Opens up About Her Marriage to Bianca Dusic
In an interview with The Daily Dish, Kristen said that she likes to hang out with Bianca, who can make any situation into a good one. "That's a pretty fun activity," she said. "There's nothing that her and I can't have fun doing."
"Whether that's traveling in extravagant trips, and exploring something brand new, or if it's something just like playing Bananagrams, which is a great game, or a Friday night at home," she added. "I think with my life and the amount of travel and the version of myself that needs to be on camera, being able to retreat at home with the one person that I want to be with."
Who is Bianca Dusic?
Kristen's wife, Bianca Dusic, is a certified hypnotherapist, breath work and EFT practitioner, past-life regression therapist, and holistic health coach, according to her Instagram bio. She is also the founder and owner of bWithin, "a space where she can guide others using all the tools and techniques she has mastered over her many years of self-healing."
The couple got engaged in 2019 and tied the knot in 2021.
She also happens to be her wife's biggest fan. "I know how much pressure you put on yourself, but you channeled the nerves into excitement and that shift changed everything," Bianca wrote to Kristen in an Instagram post ahead of the Top Chef Season 21 premiere. "My greatest joy is watching you grow and shine. I love you always and forever, Kristen Kish."
Kristen Kish's Ideal Date Night with Wife, Bianca
When it comes to date night, Kristen told The Daily Dish that she prefers to have a quiet night in with Bianca since they "don't get those very often." This allows for Kristen to have have "time to recharge," but when they're traveling and on the road, they love to explore.
"I mean, honestly, one of the best things we love to do when we go to a new place is just walk. We walk everywhere," she said. "We stop places. And we don't necessarily hit up, like, the best new restaurant or best places we must try certain things."
Instead, Kristen and Bianca prefer to explore other types of establishments while on the road. "She loves to go into pharmacies and see what other countries have," she said. "I like to go find the chips and candy."
"We just like to roam and discover new things together," she added. "Truly [it] is my favorite place to be."
