“Top Chef” crowned its 10th winner, and the franchise’s second female winner ever, Kristen Kish, with the highest-rated episode of the season. Kristen was labeled the comeback kid for Top Chef Season 10 for her comeback from winning Last Chance Kitchen, which landed her a spot in the final two, and in last night’s finale she faced off against Brooke Williamson, the chef with the most wins throughout the series’ 10th season. The two finalists were tasked with cooking five dishes live in front of a studio audience – including host Padma Lakshmi, judges Tom Colicchio, Hugh Acheson, Emeril Lagasse and Gail Simmons, and all nine previous “Top Chef” winners for the first time ever. Also part of the audience were members of the contestants’ friends and families.

Here’s the menu that Kristen Kish over the top

First Dish: Chicken Liver Mousse with Frisee, Mustard, Prune, Hazelnuts & Pumpernickel

Second Dish: Citrus & Lavender Cured Scallop with Bitter Orange, Meyer Lemon & Apple

Third Dish: Celery Root Puree with Bone Marrow, Mushrooms, Bitter Greens & Radishes

Fourth Dish: Red Snapper with Leeks, Little Gem Lettuce, Tarragon, Uni & Shellfish Nage
