Katie Lee Biegel on Embracing Her Next Chapter, Fall Food Favorites, and What Truly Makes Her Happy

After 12 incredible years, Food Network's The Kitchen has come to a close -- and the show's star Katie Lee Biegel is ready for what's next. We caught up with the beloved chef and TV personality at the American Ballet Theatre Gala in New York City, where she opened up about this new season of life. 'I think it's really about taking a moment and figuring out exactly what you want,' Biegel shared. 'It's about finding what's meaningful to you -- and your motivation behind it.' Of course, we couldn't let her go without talking food. For fall, Biegel is all about hearty comfort dishes and seasonal produce. Think braised meats, cozy soups, and rich stews that warm you from the inside out. And when it comes to happiness? Biegel keeps it simple by putting family first. 'I love being with my daughter, my husband, and our dog more than anything,' she said.
