Meet the Maker: Evanice Holz - Senoreata

"It was incredibly validating", says Evanice Holz, founder of Señoreata, when talking about winning Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race" as the first Latina AND the first plant-based concept to win the Grand Prize. Becoming a vegan at 18 years old came with some challenges. Evanice felt excluded from meals at her grandmother's home as well as her own home, so she sought  to "convert" traditional Cuban dishes into vegan versions. "It doesn't taste like the real thing until you add the plant-based herbs and spices."In this episode of "Meet the Maker", we sit down with Evanice and talk, candidly, about the public perception of vegan food, the challenges of owning a business and the joy she finds when visiting her "roots" in Cuba.Join us as we hear the personal story of this award-winning chef.
