New Orleans chef says city lacked vegan options, so she created them
A New Orleans chef said the city had everything to offer when she moved here — except one thing.
Chef Jas Rogers, the chef and owner of Saucex Dat, said as a Houston native, she was surprised to find that New Orleans did not offer many vegan options.
Rogers began her sauce business which says is her contribution to the "vegan flair" that the city needed.
One of her sauces was her secret to a dish she used on the Very Local cooking competition "Blind Kitchen."
Rogers hoped her Habanero Pepper Jam would give her an edge over her competitor, chef Aaron Poret.
