‘Top Chef’ Host Is Leading a Members-Only Fine Dining Restaurant in Nomad | Eater NY

"A London hotel import at 1170 Broadway (at West 28th Street) that opened in 2022; it already houses a branch of Cecconi's and cocktail bar Little Ned and is backed by Soho House creator Nick Jones and Ron Burkle. Bravo Top Chef alum and current host Kristen Kish has teamed up with the hotel to run a members-only restaurant there, while the general public can sample her cooking in the hotel’s Atrium (a ground-floor space) and the bar. It’s Kish’s first restaurant in New York — she ran one in Texas since 2018 at the Line Hotel — and she replaced Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef in 2023 after having won the series in 2012 when she was a chef at Boston’s Menton from Barbara Lynch, now closed. There’s no public name yet for Kish’s project, and it’s on track to open in spring of 2025." - Melissa McCart
