MILWAUKEE — The upcoming 21st season of the Bravo TV show "Top Chef" will take place in Wisconsin, including areas around Milwaukee and Madison.

The hit culinary competition also announced Kristen Kish as the show's new host. The show recently traveled to food scenes in Houston, Portland, Kentucky, Colorado, and Charleston.

"We look forward to season 21 and know our incoming chefs will be inspired by the bourgeoning culinary scene in Milwaukee and Madison known for blending tradition with innovation and utilizing farm fresh ingredients,” Casey Kriley and Jo Sharon, co-CEOs of Magical Elves, the show's production company.
