The excitement is building as the Reno Vegan Chef Challenge returns this May—bringing a fresh wave of creativity, flavor, and community to our local dining scene. Throughout the month, restaurants across Reno will feature special plant-based dishes, competing to win over your taste buds and prove just how delicious and accessible vegan options can be. It’s a chance to explore new spots, support local businesses, and experience the innovation happening right here in our city.

Your role matters more than you might think. By showing up, ordering these dishes, and sharing your experience, you’re sending a clear message: plant-based food belongs on the menu. Let’s support the restaurants stepping up, and encourage them to keep these options long after the challenge ends.
