Vegan Chef Challenges are vibrant, month-long culinary events that spotlight the creativity of local chefs as they craft innovative plant-based dishes. Held primarily in mid-sized cities, these challenges typically feature 10 to 30 participating restaurants, each offering unique vegan menu items for a limited time. Diners are invited to explore the offerings, vote for their favorites, and support their local food scene. The ultimate goal? To inspire restaurants to make popular vegan options permanent menu staples—delicious progress, one plate at a time.
