This is probably one of the toughest competitions out there.

Ive competed on a gamut of these.

But this puts your entire lifes education work, experience to (the) test.

Maneet Chauhan winning Tournament of Champions

And I think that is what makes it so exciting.

She is the only competitor ever to make it to three finals, much less win it twice.

Chauhan competed in the first five seasons of the show before becoming a judge in the sixth.

Not all cooking shows have to be contests - these documentaries and other series are just about the taste.

This led her to compete in some televised food competition shows.

Chauhan also received the great honor of President Barack Obama inviting her to the White House.
