And being proud of her status as a former cigarette smoker, Kristen has partnered with Nicorette to publicly share her “quit” journey for the first time on air. On this segment, hear how Kristen started her culinary career and the inside scoop on the country’s most popular cooking shows. Fast Foodies, for example, is about competing to re-imagine and perfectly recreate a celebrity guest's favorite fast food dish as Kristen and the other two master chefs try to win the daily “Chompionship!” trophy.

Most importantly, she professes that stopping smoking—for many with the help of Nicorette—will enhance your taste buds not to mention help you look and feel Better Than Before.
