Recently beating Bobby Flay on the January 20, 2022 episode A Deal to Beat Bobby was the culmination of her years of hard work and her passion and creativity of vegan cooking.

The whole concept seemed childish and didn't appeal to me as an adult viewer. I found myself checking my phone halfway through the trailer, that's how unengaging it was. Save yourself the disappointment and avoid this one.
