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.
