Vegan Chef Turns Food Network Title Into Championship Career Behind the Review

Chef Priyanka Naik took a very non-traditional route to success as a Food Network Champion. When culinary school didn’t align with her vegetarian upbringing, she didn’t let that stop her from pursuing her dreams of cooking on TV. Instead, she took a tech job to support her while working on becoming the best vegan chef she could. Her tireless self-promotion and not taking no for an answer landed her a dream chance on the Food Network, a cookbook, and so much more.
