“Chopped” judge Maneet Chauhan and her husband, entrepreneur Vivek Deora, are bringing a new Indian restaurant to Disney Springs later this year.
Maneet Chauhan’s EET
EET is described as a “modern, fun Indian-inspired concept.” Disney didn’t announce any further details, including an exact opening time-frame or location.
Chauhan was previously the executive chef of several restaurants in Chicago, Nashville, and New York. She was awarded a James Beard Award of Excellence. On “Chopped,” Chauhan joined the popular cooking competition series as a judge in season 6 and has been a consistent part of the series from seasons 9 through 51. She has also appeared on “The Next Iron Chef,” “Iron Chef America,” and as a judge on “Worst Cooks in America.” In 2021, she won the Food Network’s Tournament of Champions. Her husband Deora owns 23 restaurants across America.
