In New Max Special, Chef Charity Morgan Wins Over Meat Eaters With Meatless Barbecue, Wings, and Nachos

In a new Max special, celebrity chef Charity Morgan takes on the challenge of helping a local Nashville eatery, Germantown Pub, add plant-based dishes to its menu with the help of owner Naima Walker Fierce. Despite initial hesitation from the pub's executive chef, JDee Agnew, Morgan successfully creates three plant-based menu items using her three-R method: replace, replicate, and reveal. Her Vegan Pub Nachos With Beer Cheese and Mac and Cheese With BBQ Jackfruit are immediate hits, while her oyster mushroom Trifecta Wings also win over the staff and customers.

Through her collaboration with Agnew, Morgan hopes to inspire others to open up to plant-based food and show that vegan dishes can be delicious and not limiting. With the success of the special, there is a possibility it could turn into a series if enough viewers tune in, showcasing the power of plant-based cooking to appeal to meat eaters and widen customer bases for non-vegan businesses.
