Plot Synopsis

Hosted by vegan foodie Tabitha Brown, each one-hour episode of IT'S COMPLIPLATED features four chefs who compete in three rounds of cooking challenges to create dishes that will please judge Maneet Chauhan and a rotating panel of guest judges, each with a very particular palate and tricky food requirements. From a taste of Southern hospitality using only plant-based ingredients and a comfort food gluten-free noodle dish to an Instagram-worthy dinner party without fruits or vegetables, these unique cooking battles showcase how to make delicious food under any circumstance. Episodes include:

"Dinner Party at My Place, Y'all!" (Thursday, August 11, 2022 at 10pm): Tabitha Brown loves feeding people, especially at dinner time. Her plant-based diet has never gotten in the way of making a social media-worthy spread, but her latest guests and their aversions to gluten, fruits and vegetables will turn this party into a pressure cooker for the competitors!

"Mood Food" (Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 10pm): Tabitha Brown cooks from her heart, and America has fallen not only for her food, but her empathy, compassion and humor. Knowing that the right food can fix any mood, Tabitha and her tricky eaters challenge four chefs to deliver gluten-free noodles, a deep-fried dinner and a decadent midnight snack to soothe their "compliplated" souls.

"Southern Comfort? Very Good!" (Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 10pm): Before Tabitha Brown moved to California, she grew up in North Carolina with all its yummy, rich and downright decadent food traditions. Now, she's invited two other Southern girls with love of comfort food and tricky eating preferences to challenge the competitors with creating a taste of the South using only plant-based ingredients.

"Breakfast for Dinner -- It's My Business" (Thursday, September 1, 2022 at 10pm): Breakfast around the world often includes eggs, bacon, sausage and other plant-based diet no-nos, so Tabitha Brown challenges four chefs to think outside the cereal box and satisfy two picky eaters with breakfast for dinner! They'll attempt to conjure up an "eggcellent" breakfast without any eggs, a low-carb breakfast burrito and a decadent brunch without their usual tricks of the trade.

"We're Makin' Take-Out!" (Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 10pm): Many take-out food classics are tough for those who've converted to a plant-based lifestyle. Tabitha Brown tasks the competitors with taking on the role of take-out chefs, and they'll have to make some serious substitutions to please the judges -- including Tab's husband, Chance!

"What Time Is It, Y'all? Game Time!" (Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 10pm): Tabitha Brown may not be the biggest sports fan, but she loves to eat her way through a game. Her tricky eaters throw a curveball at the chefs by challenging them to sub out this notoriously cheesy and meaty meal with ballpark eats that aren't fried, have no bread and don't involve hot dogs. These contestants will have to be brilliant with their burgers in hopes that they don't strike out!
