Rohini Dey, Ph.D. (founder and owner) and Maneet Chauhan (executive chef) of Vermilion, a river north hot spot known for its inventive
Indian and Latin American fusion cuisine, discuss their experience as minority women in a male dominated field and share their signature
creations.
A former management consultant for McKinsey & Co., Rohini Dey is a staunch supporter of women in business as evidenced by her management
of an all-female team at Vermilion. A unique and talented chef, Maneet Chauhan, 27, is no stranger to taking the best of two cultures and melding them together. Chauhan came to the United States in 1998 to attend the the Culinary Institute of America in New York, where she graduated with high honors and successfully launched a fine
dining Indian restaurant in New Jersey.
Vermilion has received local and national attention, including honors as "One of the Top 20
Restaurants in Chicago" (Chicago magazine, May 2004); "Top New Restaurants" (Wine Enthusiast, May 2004); and "Restaurant of the Month" (Esquire, May 2004); "Best Chicago Trendsetter" Bon Appetit & USA Toda.
