With Vegan food influencer and bestselling author Tabitha Brown as its host, the Food Network is going all vegan with a new plant-based competition show, It’s CompliPlated, which will premiere this Thursday, August 11.
Tabitha Brown is a social media personality who went viral in 2017 when she transitioned to a vegan lifestyle and filmed herself tasting a vegan sandwich, which hit 50,000 views on the first day.
While she has a large audience of vegans who follow her, she has a larger audience of non-vegans. She is the Pied Piper of veganism, guiding people towards a plant-based diet.
It’s CompliPlated, Food Network's first ever vegan cooking competition
It’s CompliPlated Season 1 is all set to premiere on the Food Network on August 11, 2022, at 10 pm ET.
The first season of It’s CompliPlated will have six episodes and each episode will have four chefs competing for the prize of $10,000. These chefs will have to impress a rotating panel of rather difficult judges in three rounds.
The synopsis of It’s CompliPlated read:
"Social media star and bestselling author Tabitha Brown challenges four talented chefs to please a particularly tricky panel of judges with delicious dishes that meet both dietary restrictions and taste preferences. Chopped judge Maneet Chauhan provides her expertise as these competitors battle it out for the $10,000 prize!"
The challenges in It’s CompliPlated will have these chefs make various dishes such as a Southern hospitality dish using only plant-based ingredients, and a gluten-free noodle dish as comfort food.
All the challenges in the show are designed to showcase how to make delicious food under any circumstances. The show will feature Chopped's Maneet Chauhan as the main judge, who will be joined by a rotating panel of judges.
