Out celebrity chef Khristianne Uy, whose clients include Charlie Sheen, won the premiere season of ABC's culinary competition The Taste last night. Chef K, as she is known in the kitchen, took home $100,000 in cash and a brand-new Ford C-Max Hybrid as the spoils of her victory. 

Chef K beat out fellow competitors Diane DiMeo, Gregg Drusinsky, and Sarah Schier.

Get to know Chef K better in this interview with the out culinary queen, where she talks about being queer in the kitchen, overcoming adversity, and looking for love on Millionaire Matchmaker. 

"We are absolutely thrilled for Khristianne Uy, and wish her all the best in her future endeavors," Chris Coelen, executive producer of the series, told UPI. "She was a real competitor this season and was certainly entertaining to watch each and every week. We're happy to call her the first winner of The Taste."

"The fact of the matter is she just dominated the entire competition," said Brian Malarkey, Uy's mentor throughout the show. "She was always in the top, bar-none just the best in the competition — just really really proud of her and everything she's done."
