The Truth About Richard Blais' Wife

When asked in a Food Network Q&A who his favorite person to cook with is, Richard Blais says, "My wife and kids."  This popular cook is known to many from his time as a contestant on Top Chef, as well as winning Top Chef All-Stars. He is the founder of culinary design group Trail Blais which has helped launch multiple successful eateries, including well-known establishments in Atlanta. More recently, Blais launched a podcast titled Starving for Attention with his wife Jazmin Blais. Her Instagram profile shares not only her podcasting-cohost responsibilities but also lists her as partner in "Trail Blais/Second Breakfast Prod."

Blais' wife is described as a competition junkie and a former personal trainer (via CNN). Blais credits her for helping him make significant health changes including his 60-pound weight loss. "What kick-started my weight loss was a combination of a really joyous thing and some massive depression: I lost a restaurant, and I found the love of my life — my wife," he said. The two started running together and she kept him motivated. Now, 14 years later, the two are still a team.
