Maneet Chauhan

A featured judge on the Food Network Show “Chopped” and owner of Nashville’s Chauhan Ale & Masala House, Maneet first moved to Nashville to do consulting work. But, after the premature birth of her baby, she found a home here in Nashville. Maneet began her culinary journey in her homeland of India. After eight years of leading the kitchens of Vermilion in both New York City and Chicago - having been the only woman to go up against 40 men for the executive chef position - she ventured out on her own and founded Indie Culinaire, a culinary and hospitality company. Now, Music City is the focus of her next project.
