DiSpirito, who was a judge during Chauhan’s winning “Tournament of Champions” run (via IMDb), describes his fellow chef as a master of flavor. “Every time I experience her food, it’s delicious. Every single time. Even when she is doing a bag of trail mix, it’s delicious.”
That’s not the only nice thing DiSpirito had to say about Chauhan. He also called her “one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in our business.” It sounds like Maneet Chauhan wouldn’t just be a great person to cook dinner for you, but also an exemplary dinner guest.
