Maneet Chauhan Has a Lot to Celebrate

Many people know Maneet Chauhan as a Food Network competitor and judge, a cookbook author, and a trailblazing chef and restaurateur, but it’s almost impossible to keep up with all her projects. Not only does she run Chauhan Ale & Masala House in her hometown of Nashville, she’s also behind The Mockingbird, another Nashville favorite, and she and her husband recently opened eet, a new restaurant in Disney Springs, Florida. In recent years, she’s written two cookbooks and appeared on shows like Chopped, BBQ Brawl, Maneet’s Eats, and Tournament of Champions, where she became the first two-time winner in the show’s history. Sid talks to Maneet about how she honors traditional Indian cuisine while making it modern and accessible, why she sees BBQ as a global language, and how she’s turning her 50th birthday into a year-long celebration.
