“I think that there are so many great chefs, so many of my friends have gone on and competed over and over and over again, and they are just so good at it,” she says. “I don't think that is the natural skillset I have.

“My first feeling when I got eliminated was relief because I was tired,” she tells Parade. “I was exhausted, mentally and physically. I think that judges table was going on for… I mean, back then, stew room was like eight hours. It was crazy. And so it was well into like 2 a.m. You're standing there, I was hungry, and I was tired.

And when I went on Top Chef, and I realized that there are so many communities out there cheering for my success and to embrace all the parts of me, it almost gave me more confidence to be more myself.”
